🇲🇻 Best Food in the Maldives: https://youtu.be/2UvuiGOCNY8 👉 SUBSCRIBE for more: https://www.youtube.com/@MarkWiens Today we’re exploring the food of Fuvahmulah island in the Maldives! This island is unique in the Maldives because it’s a single island surrounded by deep sea. It’s known as Shark Island because of its high concentration of tiger sharks. It’s also known for deep sea fish, specifically snake mackerel which is a local delicacy. A huge thank you to Misbah (https://www.discoveraddu.com/) and his family for arranging this amazing trip to Addu, Maldives. Aminath Shehenaz - A huge thank you to Aminath for hosting us on this amazing traditional Maldivian food tour today! The highlight of today was definitely Kattelhi Garudhiya - snake mackerel soup!

This series is, without doubt, one of the most comprehensive and beautifully captured video documentations of Maldivian local cuisine. Full credit to Mark for his genuine curiosity and respectful approach... kudos!

I had the pleasure of working on that island for a while—and I can honestly say, they’re some of the most hospitable people you’ll ever meet!

Am Kenyan and I had the privilege of living in Maldives - vilufushi & muhli for a while. The food stuck with me. And I was super lucky coz we have tuna in mombasa. I cook garudhia all the time. I have curry leaf tree at home ( the aroma is amazing) I always feel like am back in the Maldives when I cook with curry leaf. Varah meeru ❤️ I love mas roshi too. Super easy to make Unfortunately I still haven't been able to make riihakuru. And I havent found anyone with pandan leaf tree. Alhamdulillah that Maldives was part of my life. Love for our Maldivian brothers n sisters.

As jealous as I am that you get to meet these wonderful people and travel to these places we can mostly only dream of.. … I’m even more happy that we get to feel like we are there with you. Thanks Mark ❤
