CNN PRODUCER NOTE     iReporter Sean Blake knew no-one when he moved to Abu Dhabi in 2011, so set himself a task -- photographing 30 kitchens in the emirate in 30 days, everything from basic service workers's kitchens at home to state of the art ones in five star restaurants. These images show off the amazing fresh fish from the Al Mina fish market down by the pier. "They take the fish right out of the water and you can buy minutes old," he said. "They will have it prepared and cooked right there." While taking pictures he hung out with the market's fish cleaners, many of whom had been there for more than 25 years and came from all over the Middle East, from Iran to Lebanon. "I loved the market -- the people, the smells, the hustle and bustle... I'd never seen anything like it before," he said. The photos are untreated other than some basic Photoshop -- "I liked the way the fish looked almost monochromatic," he said.
