Mozambique is a seafood mecca. The prawns sourced from these waters are widely revered. Bathed in garlic lemon butter (or a sauce of your choice), it is not uncommon for visitors to gorge themselves on prawns until they need to be rolled to bed. Crayfish (rock lobster) is the other esteemed favorite. Typically, however, if it is fresh and from the sea, it is delicious. The seafood is indelibly tasty: Calamari, barracuda, and fish of the day.
The top destinations in Mozambique are remote, and it may take quite some time and expense to reach them, but their secluded qualities make them so appealing to the world-weary. Many reefs and beaches have hosted only a handful of visitors over the past few decades. Mozambique is a place to unwind and get away from it all.
