One of the most popular dishes is “mas huni,” a combination of shredded smoked fish, coconut, and onion, typically served with flatbread. Another local delicacy is “garudhiya,” a clear fish broth often served with rice, lime, and chili. “Rihaakuru” is a thick fish paste used as a base for many traditional dishes. “Bis keemiya,” a deep-fried pastry filled with sweetened fish and coconut, is a popular snack. International cuisine is also widely available in the resorts and hotels, catering to various tastes and preferences. From fresh seafood to international gourmet dishes, visitors to the Maldives can indulge in a wide range of culinary experiences.
