Our family's favorite dish is Fish Vindaye! It is a classic mauritian dish and very popular across the island. Mauritians love eating their fish vindaye with a nice crusty french baguette and you can get them from many food vendors anywhere you go on the island. At home, when I make this dish, it is gone in literally a day or two. I use frozen tilapia fish fillets because not only is it tasty but it's also less expensive than other type of fish. I remember my mom used to make it with tuna fish which was also very good. So it's really your choice as to which type of fish you prefer to use.
Here's the recipe for you to try.
