The Fancy Fish Market In Abu Dhabi

Fresh fish in a fresh building. Abu Dhabi recently rebuilt its main local fish market building and the new digs are lovely. Light, airy, clean, spacious. Not, uhm, fishy.

Entrance. Looking like an American mall.

A nice mixed media art installation, a tip to the old fishing tradition, greets shoppers as they enter the market. Fish bling.

The basic layout, aisles and stalls. And snazzy blue uniforms with blue aprons.

You got your fish? Next stop, cleaning. That's right, the market won't just sell you a fish, they'll prep, de-bone, gut, clean your new purchase. Like buying a ticket at a movie theater.

A clever design, prep areas are behind floor to ceiling glass. Place your catch, watch the show.
