You can get Indian Fish in Family Food Center & LuLu.
You can get them cleaned in all the major hypermarkets like Lulu, Almeera, Giants, FFC etc. Shafi is ok if you fry but as mentioned by the other QLer you should remove the skin otherwise it will be a bit bitter in taste. Further more you might not like Shafi like most of the other Indians. Go for Jesh, Zubaidi, Kingfish, Mackerel, Hammour, Baidha etc.
fried shafi fish is very tasty ....but u have to peel the skin ...
i can suggest if you do not like to clean the fish, try to visit Al Meera in Mansoura, you can buy fish there and you can request to clean it for you and also in carrefour.
thanx a lot....u gav me a lot of info...abt this..sterday i bought 2 types of fish gorkafan n shehary....but i was confused 2day while i was cleaning and u cleared my doubt....shehary has got lots of scales....hmm so hard to clean ...that.... and next tym i will go for other fish u mentioned...once i tried shafi....but donno y i didn like the taste of that fish
As you are from India, I think you should go with mackerel, kingfish, prawn, sardine, subaidi, hammour etc. Shafi is mainly used by the locals and will be bit expensive. Shaeri will be with a lot of scales and is good for frying and will be good to use in certain months (Septmber to December). During other months it will smell mud. Gorkufan is good for frying and will be the cheapsest other than sardine. You can also try baidha which is similar to gorkufan but whiter one and tastier than gorkufan. Jesh is another fish which can be used for curry and fry.
Go to the fish section of Lulu Hypermarket where you can find most of the varieties available in Qatar with their names tagged.
