The cuisine of the [[Gaza Strip]] is influenced by both neighboring [[Egypt]] and its location on the Mediterranean coast. The staple food for the majority of the inhabitants in the area is fish. The Gaza Strip has a major fishing industry and fish is often served either grilled or fried after being stuffed with [[cilantro]], garlic, red peppers and cumin and marinated in a mix of [[coriander]], red peppers, cumin, and chopped lemons.[http://www.thisweekinpalestine.com/details.php?id=1726&ed=115&edid=115 The Foods of Gaza] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110724171358/http://www.thisweekinpalestine.com/details.php?id=1726&ed=115&edid=115 |date=2011-07-24 }} [[Laila el-Haddad|al-Haddad, Laila]], ''This week in Palestine''.
