Dried Fish

A must try in Seychelles is dried fish. It might not sound too appealing, but this delicacy dates back to a time where there were no fridges, so the native people of Seychelles salted the fish and dried it for several days. If you have fish curry, you might get to try dried fish. Alternatively, you can find it in roughy, which includes dried fish, tomatoes, garlic, onion and chili sauce, most often served with rice.
Fish Curry

Looking for a traditional dish packed with flavour? Then you need to try fish curry, which is available in local restaurants and food stands. Fish curry uses bonito (which is a meaty fish) and coconut milk which really helps to bring out delicious flavours that will melt in your mouth.
Octopus Curry

Discover the popular Seychelles dish that is octopus curry. Every Seychellois person has their own preferences when it comes to this dish, so be sure to sample it at different restaurants to find the right one for you.
Bat Curry

Try something a little different with this exotic dish. Bat curry uses fruit bats, which are considered to be a local delicacy. You can find this dish at the oldest restaurant on Mahé Island, at Marie Antoinette’s, which uses all local ingredients.
Breadfruit Chips

Revitalise and give your energy levels a boost by trying some Breadfruit chips. Breadfruits are a type of tropical fruit. Breadfruit chips are lightly salted fried crisps that make an ideal snack to pack in your bag while you’re exploring the island.
Ladob

Sweet tooths should try ladob. This delicious dessert is made from bananas or sweet potato. Cooked in coconut milk and sugar, the ladobs are then flavoured with nutmeg, cinnamon and fresh vanilla, and are the perfect way to finish a meal.
