I saw them in Dibba... but only at night... usually when we go for night spearfishing trips over there... i don't use my speargun to catch them.. just a "nizah".. not a big one though... but when the philipino people on the beach saw me cleaning it.. they came to me and asked to buy it from me because they knew it is fresh ...
I took it home and i didn't know how to cook it...so I BBQ it..

BBQ is always the best way to prepare food. I'd even BBQ by breakfast if....

I think also in the Persian Gulf (if im not mistaken), we do get the blue ring octopus species (as I heard from a diving buddy) so be careful as those, though seemingly peaceful and tiny looking creatures, can be extremely venomous !
