FOOD FOR THOUGHT Whilst each island has its own take on culinary perfection a common theme of rich scents and flavours from the spice route can be found across the Indian Ocean, along with an abundance of deliciously fresh seafood. In Mauritius be sure to try Rougaille, a popular traditional Creole spicy, tomato dish, while in Sri Lanka one of the most beloved dishes is Fish Ambul Thiyal, meaning sour fish curry. If you’re feeling daring when dining in the Seychelles Octopus curry is a local speciality that you should try at least once. For an experience to remember why not take a sunset fishing tour in the Maldives? Enjoy a late afternoon fishing cruise and take your catch back to resort where the chef will prepare to your liking.
