Andaman Islands possess a rich culinary heritage influenced by indigenous tribes and culture of India, Burma and Southeast Asia. Considering the use of fishing, farming and gathering by local tribes, it is not uncommon the visibility of seafood (fish, crabs, loasters) in Andamanese cuisine. The use of spices like turmeric, mustard seeds, and curry leaves accentuates the flavours. Andamnese cuisine also incorporates a generous use of coconut that renders a unique and distinct flavour profile and texture to the dishes. To bring out the tanginess in the dishes, the locals prepare their dishes with tamarind. These ingredients and preparation methods are what make seafood interesting.
So, if you are a seafood lover and planning to visit Andaman Islands, check out these eating spots in Andamans. These best sea restaurants will satiate your cravings for a grilled lobster or a crab meat curry. Enjoy these succulent dishes in the tropical backdrop and enjoy the hospitality of the locals.
