GOAN CUISINE
Goan cuisine consists of regional foods popular in Goa, an Indian state located along India's west coast on the shore of the Arebian sea. Rice, seafood, coconut, vegetables, meat, pork and local spices are some of the main ingredients in Goan cuisine. The area is located in a tropical climate, which means that spices and flavors are intense. Use of kokam is another distinct feature. Goan food is considered incomplete without fish. It is similar to Malvani or Konkani cuisine.
Many Catholic dishes are either similar to or variants of their Portuguese counterparts in both naming or their use of ingredients.
The cuisine is mostly seafood-based; the staple foods are rice and fish. Kingfish (vison or visvan) is the most common delicacy. Other seafood delicacies include pomfret, shark, tuna, and mackerel. Among the shellfish are crabs, prawns, tiger prawns, lobster, squid, and mussels. The food of Goan Christians is heavily influenced by the Portuguese
