The Gulf is rich in marine life, and fishing was once a mainstay of the local economy. Kingfish, jack, red snapper, rock cod (the popular "hammour" on most Dubai menus), barracuda and other species are caught commercially and for sport.

Sailfish and bottom-feeding sharks are regularly landed by visiting fishermen who can hire fully-equipped boats, with crew for deep sea fishing trips.
