Smoked fish salad from the Seychelles is my new favorite dish. I could eat this every day. Of course in the Seychelles so many types of fish are available. Smoking is a way of preserving fish without refrigeration and is quite common. I made this dish with some smoked marlin I had, but truly any smoked fish will work beautifully.
This smoked fish salad could easily be made into a meal for lunch or dinner, but we had it as just one course of our Seychelles International Cuisine meal. The recipe will serve four as a course or 2 as a meal.
Did you know the Seychelles is a celebrity hideaway? Many like to vacation in the iconic country and enjoy stunning private islands. Prince William and Kate Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge spent their honeymoon at the North Island of the Seychelles. The Seychelles used to be a British colony.
