6. Taste local creole street food
As an island nation, the Seychelles are famous for seafood – think coconut crab curry, smoked fish salads and barbecued prawns. To really experience a country, you have to taste their food which here is creole street food. It’s all delicious, from pork curry and grilled red snapper to bananas with coconut milk, washed down with a Seybrew beer.
The most famous local dish is ladob, a mixture of plantains, breadfruit and cassava. It can be either a sweet or savoury dish – the sweet version is prepared with coconut milk, nutmeg, vanilla and sugar while the savoury is with salted fish. There is also a lot of Indian influence in the food here – you’ll always be able to find a street stall selling parathas and dhal.
