📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Satini reken (shark chutney) is a traditional Seychellois dish: boiled shark is finely flaked and tossed with sautéed onion, lime juice and zest, the sour fruit bilimbi, and turmeric. It's eaten with rice and bean soup. Recently, other white fish are increasingly used for conservation reasons.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On a Seychellois family table, yellow flaked fish chutney sits in a small dish beside rice and lentil soup.
