What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was particularly impressed by the Najel fish, noting the incredible contrast between its ultra-crispy skin and moist, fluffy meat. He described the combination of the local brown rice, chili sauce, and Tamarind as a 'party in your mouth.' Mark highly recommended Al-Basali for its 75-year history and its ability to highlight the natural freshness of Red Sea seafood.
