What fish to eat in the Seychelles — tuna, snapper, or octopus, and how much does it cost?

Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 26 days ago

TL;DR

Fresh tuna from a local market runs about the equivalent of $6-7/kg (great for grilling yourself), but many travelers say tuna quality is inconsistent — snapper is a juicier, tastier pick, and octopus/sashimi are worth trying too.

What the community said

At one local restaurant travelers who were previously skeptical about raw fish ended up loving the sashimi.

Tuna is mediocre in most places, so snapper is a better bet — it turns out juicy and flavorful.

Octopus is also delicious but tricky to cook — it's easy to overdo if you don't know the technique.

Whole tuna bought at a market cost roughly the equivalent of $6-7/kg and was grilled at home — tasty, but the fish is large, plenty for more than just one or two people.
