Maldives Fish

Sri Lankan Maldive Fish Chips are a traditional and flavorful ingredient made from sun-dried and cured skipjack tuna (commonly known as "balaya" in Sinhala). These fish chips are rich in umami flavor and are widely used in Sri Lankan cuisine to enhance the taste of curries, sambols, and stir-fries. Prepared through a time-honored drying process, Maldive fish chips add a savory depth and smoky aroma to dishes. They are often crumbled or ground before use and are a staple in authentic Sri Lankan home cooking.
