Kisah dari Salalah: (19) Sadh di teluk kecil
Tujuan kami mengunjungi Sadh (atau Sadah) adalah sekedar penasaran apakah betul di kota tsb. bisa diperoleh abalone (sea food). Mungkin bisa kami nikmati sekalian untuk makan siang.

.........Sadh come alive during the abalone season. Abalone, referred to as sufailah locally is often called as the “food of the gods” and the steak of the sea. It is fished locally during the limited season when it is permitted and dried and exported to countries in the Far East. Over fishing of the abalone has resulted in a major depletion of stocks and efforts are on to replenish the stocks by limiting the season.
Abalone divers are given licences for the conduct of diving by the Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture. There are no special tools or equipment that is required and the best divers are clearly those who can hold their breath while the abalone is prised out from the rock. The divers have no special training but the one rule that they must all adhere to is to ensure that the rocks are left intact while harvesting the abalone. Overturning or shifting the rock disturbs the developing abalone, uproots the algae and pulls the curtain down on both the species and the business.
(Bagi yg belum tahu, bentuk abalone yg akan dimasak bisa dilihat di link INI).
Ternyata perjalanan ke Sadh terasa menjadi lama. Mungkin karena pemandangan tidak bervariasi dan perut sudah lapar.
Akhirnya kami mencapai Sadh, yg terletak di sebuah teluk (cove). Kotanya terlihat lebih resik dan hidup ketimbang Mirbat, meskipun tidak sebesar Mirbat.
