Maldives cuisine

Maldivian cuisine is based largely around the ingredients that are readily available and provided by the tropical marine-based environment. Coconut, fish and its derivatives as well as starches such as rice provide the basis for most dishes. Coconut milk is a primary ingredient in Maldivian curries, while fish sauce and fresh fish are used in a plethora or recipes with skipjack tuna often being the fish of choice.
