Tropical beauty and cultural diversity are probably the two most outstanding characteristics of this amazing island country. If you like lazy days on big, white sand beaches or frolicking on crystal clear lagoons, Mauritius is the place for you. And if you like fishing, this is definitely the place for you! Marlin, sharks, yellow tuna, bonito and barracuda are just some of the fish congregating in Mauritius’ waters. In fact, Mauritius holds several world fishing records. The most prestigious deep sea fishing competition is the Marlin World Cup which is hosted in December by La Pirogue Hotel. Something Amazing

To find Mauritius, look on a map to the southeast of Africa. The first dot you’ll see will be Madagascar, but if you keep going east from there, the next dot (even smaller) will be Mauritius. The culture is a mixture of Hindus, Creole, Chinese, Muslims and Europeans, but almost everyone speaks English, French and Creole. If you’re an American shopping in Mauritius, the money system should be fairly simple. The Mauritian Rupee is divided into 100 cents – sound familiar?
Now for a recipe from the melting pot culture of this volcanic island. I promised a couple of blog followers that I would try to find something less fattening and a little healthier than those in previous posts. Let’s see if this fits the bill.
