Saudis included fish in their diets an average of 1.4±1.2/week at home and 0.8±0.7 meals/week at restaurants, while expats ate 2.0±1.7 meals/week at home and 1.1±1.1 meals/week in restaurants. Thus, Saudis were eating 2.2 meals/week, while expats were eating 3.1 meals/week. Meal frequency differed somewhat for Saudis and expatriates. However, in general there was remarkable concordance in the percent of people eating the seven most common species of fish for the two groups (Kendall tau correlation = .90, p=0.0014, Table 3). For both groups “Hamour” or Grouper (including both Epinephelus and Cephalopholis) were preferred fish, eaten by 72% and 60% respectively. Plectropomus pessuliferus was the second favorite for both groups and Hipposcarus harid and Lethrinus lentjan were in 3rd and 4th place in terms of percentage of respondents saying they ate those species.
