Seychellois cuisine

Fish plays a prominent part in the country's cuisine[1] because of its location in the Indian Ocean.

[2][3] The use of spices such as ginger, lemongrass, coriander and tamarind are a significant component of Seychellois cuisine.

[1] Staple foods include fish, seafood and shellfish dishes, often accompanied with rice.

[1][3] Fish dishes are cooked in several ways, such as steamed, grilled, wrapped in banana leaves, baked, salted[4] and smoked.

[1] Alcoholic drinks include the palm wine calou (or kalou), bakka rum and beers produced in the country such as Seybrew and Eku.
