✨ Expert Tips for Seafood Lovers
- The "Catch of the Day" Rule: Always ask the server what came in fresh this morning. In Andaman, the "off-menu" specials are usually the best.
- Pricing Reality: Lobsters and Mud Crabs are sold by weight. Always ask for a price estimate before they send it to the kitchen.
- Monsoon Warning: Fresh sea fish can be rarer during heavy monsoons (June-Aug). During this time, opt for pond-fish or prawns.
Vegetarian in Andaman?
Don’t worry! Almost every seafood restaurant also serves excellent vegetarian food. For a pure-veg experience in Sri Vijaya Puram, Annapurna remains the gold standard for South Indian meals.
