Mahmoos al-samak is a traditional dish from the Arabian Gulf region, particularly popular in Saudi Arabia. The term "mahmoos" refers to a method of cooking where ingredients are sautéed or fried until they are well-cooked and slightly browned, imparting a rich, deep flavor. "Al-samak" means fish, indicating that this dish features fish as the main ingredient. In mahmoos al-samak, the fish is typically seasoned with a blend of spices, which may include turmeric, cumin, coriander, garlic, and black lime (loomi). The fish is then fried or sautéed until it is fully cooked and develops a golden-brown crust. The dish might also include onions, tomatoes, and green peppers, which are cooked alongside the fish to create a savory, aromatic mixture. This dish is often served with rice, flatbread, or as part of a larger meal with other Gulf specialties.
