Origins: Masgouf is the typical Iraqi dish reminiscent of my home country; more so than any other Iraqi dishes. I had enjoyed Masgouf before leaving Iraq for good at the age of twenty-seven. Masgouf, or grilling fish in Masgouf style, is never found in any food court. This national dish has been part of the Mesopotamian kitchen for thousands of years rooted in the Sumerian civilization from Southern Iraq.
