Welcome to the Maldives! And today we’re in Addu, in the southernmost atoll of the Maldives and we’re eating tuna for 24 hours straight – but in the Maldives you will try some of the best and most unique and varied recipes for tuna in the world!
A huge thank you to Misbah (https://www.discoveraddu.com/) and his family for arranging this amazing trip to Addu, Maldives.
Breakfast – We’re starting with Maldivian breakfast that just about everyone in the country eats in the morning. Mas huni – smoked tuna, coconut, chilies, Kulle mas – dry fish curry, and Rihaakuru – tuna sauce.
After breakfast we drove around and found some fresh tunas straight from the morning catch, and also visited Sinaa (Beat Harvest) at his farm and tasted a variety of unique Maldivian fruit trays with tuna.
Addu Bendi – One of the most famous foods from Addu is Addu bendi, a type of coconut sweet made with coconut jelly and coconut water, simmered down with sugar and roasted for hours. It’s then hardened into a candy.
Maahere Cafe – Right in the heart of Addu, for lunch we headed to a local fisherman restaurant to eat authentic Maldivian food including lots of tuna, and entire tuna head, and garudhiya – fish broth that’s often considered the national food of the Maldives.
Home style short eats – One of the traditional parts of the Maldivian food culture are short eats, little afternoon snacks that typically go together with tea. And you guessed it, many of them are filled with tuna, and they are so tasty you won’t be able to stop eating them.
Home cooked Maldivian food – Truly the highlight of the day was having a full home-cooked Maldivian meal including one of the best ever Maldives food called Addu Havaadha – a local curry made from a curry paste of toasted coconut and spices. I’m going to say it’s one of the world’s best ever tuna dishes!

Wow! The food is so delicious! Just like home cooking in Indonesia

Mark, I stopped eating tuna because I was buying expensive tuna but they claim it had mercury in it not a lot, but it had mercury and the tuna fish. I’m like you can’t remove mercury out of your body so I had to stop eating tuna fish and I love tuna I love it.
😮
Mercury Poisoning?!
Thank goodness those tunas have so tiny brains. Tuna with brains any bigger, would ruin the Maldives economy.
"Wow, Mark! Your video on exploring the diverse world of tuna in the Maldives was absolutely captivating. Your enthusiasm and passion for food are truly infectious, and I loved how you highlighted the unique flavors and culinary traditions of the region. The way you describe each dish makes me feel like I'm right there with you, savoring every bite. Keep up the amazing work!"
pair of Dice? thought that was Las Vegas!? lol
15:40 is that Tuna or roasted duck at the front end of the platter?
Unfortunately i hate Tuna ! I be brining me own chickens i'd think.
If your last video on the Maldives was a “probably-never-seen” side of the country, this one is full of never-seen-before dishes!
As a Keralite from the northern part of the state, I’ve eaten countless fish-and-coconut dishes — but none of these! The preparation methods and cooking styles blew my mind.
I can also sense the incredible amount of research and effort it takes to discover these hidden culinary gems and present them so beautifully. This is more than a food & travel video.
Massive respect to team Migrationology — Mark, Ying, and Micha ♥
coconuts and tuna….yum?
lol the lady is watching him reviewing her food 5:18 and onwards.after she used the swing to watch him this is hilarious
We love you so much Mark!! Thank you for your love and positive energy in a world full of hate and darkness and war. Food across the planet brings us all together. Sending love and peace to you, your beautiful family, your employees hired for your channel (and restaurant), and to all here are subbed in YouTube. Can't wait to visit Maldives one day. Peace ❤
Eating Tuna for 24 hours.
