Notes: Mishawa is an Emirati product which is made by drying fish & blending it. It takes quite a bit to make it due to the drying & aging process, it also comes in a liquid form, mishawa is mostly made at home by ladies & given out to friends & family, however some people do sell it from home. You could substitute with a dash of fish sauce, or some finely chopped dried fish.
