Food and drink in Goa

The peak of this marine-based cuisine is the world-famous Goan Fish Curry. A blend of various fish, coconut milk, and whatever unique spice mix the chef making the dish has concocted, no two versions of the meal you try will be the same.

While many people see Indian food as a vegetarian endeavour, in the south of the country there are plenty of excellent meat curries. Sorpotel is a red-meat (usually pork, but sometimes beef) curry that shows off the best of the Portuguese influence in Goa, and is a must-taste for anyone interested in fusion food.

After stuffing yourself silly with delicious Goan dishes, the best thing to wash it all down is the local spirit, Feni. Coming in coconut and cashew-apple varieties, it’s usually fermented in small batches by locals, so watch out as the strength can vary!
