Fishing Dhows

Each evening the fishing dhows leave port to fish off the coast of Bahrain.  There are approximately 50 that dock between my residence and office.  The photos below are hard to visualize due to the direction of the sun when the photos are taken.  It is unfortunate, because when they leave in the evening, the sun is west of me and the photos get washed out.  In the morning when they return, the sun is east of me and again, the view is washed out.  It is pretty spectacular to watch them all leave together.  They mostly fish for hammour...which is very subtly flavorful.  It is a white fish, usually baked, but the flavor is like nothing you have ever tasted.
