Five anglers stand side by side on a rocky breakwater under a clear blue sky, each holding up a large brown-mottled grouper by the tail or body. The fish are stout, heavy-bodied groupers with rounded fins and pale-spotted brownish flanks, typical of the hamour caught around Abu Dhabi. The men wear casual clothes, hoodies and caps, and one holds a small rod; the setting is the rock armour of a coastal breakwater.
