Three more species of fish have been added to Emirates Wildlife Society’s ‘Choose Wisely’ consumer guide for Iftar feasts during Ramadan






Three more species of fish have been added to Emirates Wildlife Society’s ‘Choose Wisely’ consumer guide for Ramadan.



Two of the species have been added to the ‘Go for it’ green category as are the recommended sustainable fish for family Iftar gatherings.



These species are the Shaam (Yellow Fin Seabream) and the Hilali (Blackspotted Rubberlip) fish. The third species, the Beyah Arabi (Blue Spot Mullet), has been added to the ‘Good choice but there's better’ orange category.



"Ramadan is one of the most important times of the year when family and friends gather together to break their fast and reflect on what is important.



"With spirituality at the core of Ramadan, we also want people to think about our environment and natural habit. By cooking sustainable recipes at a time of sharing, residents of the UAE can help spread positive messages for change by making educated decisions," stated Darren Hiltz, a Conservation Officer with the society.



"Small changes to our eating habits can make a difference and help all of us take positive steps to ensure future generations will benefit from a healthy ecosystem."
