Les repas de plongeurs sont toujours bienvenus mêmes lorsqu'ils s'agit d'un repas pris sur le pouce comme ici à Bonaire.

Divers are travelers and also gourmet.

Divers like to party. Most divers enjoy the discovery. Divers are also “gourmet” and diving, it digs!

Also, I propose a small world tour of the gastronomic diving because to associate the pleasures it is even better.

I have selected for you 20 dishes typical of “diving” destinations because the pleasure can also be found on your plate.

To share with your gourmet buddy

Your friends, your accompanying persons, your favorite dive instructors or just by solo, These culinary or gourmet discoveries are unavoidable to savor urgently

To the east

Australia : Kangaroo or crocodile steak for those who dare to eat exotic food, just across the road from the Great Barrier Reef.

French Polynesia : Tahitian salad: a succulent dish based on raw fish and coconut milk. Served with a Hinano to recover from her emotions at the end of a dive in Fakarava ? Every gourmet should taste this.

Indonesia : the Martabak manis: it presents many variants. A paste stuffed with vegetables and meat in salty version for the meal or stuffed with chocolate, banana and peanut in its sweet version. Convenient to taste it as a main dish or dessert. Have you seen the Komodo dragons?

Japan : sushi: rice and raw fish. With sauces and composed in a thousand ways, the sushi is declined in color and flavor. Soaked in sweet or savory soy sauce, sushi is tasted without hunger and we love it. All that remains is to immerse yourself with the colonies of manta rays of Ishigaki Island.

Thailand : Thai chicken: cooked in coconut milk with local eggplants, flavored with coriander and served with rice, the chicken is tender and melting at will. What a beautiful blend of flavors to enjoy by comparing our photos of whale sharks.

Caribbean : the “dog sauce” accra, a great classic: small dumplings of cod, cassava flour and peppers. They are soaked in a spiced onion sauce. Accompanied by a Ti-punch, it is the guarantee of a successful aperitif after discovering the magnificent dives of Martinique for example.

Americas

Canada : the poutine: dish made up of fries, cheddar and brown sauce. Unusual for non-Canadians, poutine is a typical and consistent dish terribly adapted to withstand cold dives with the gray seals at Percée. But not really a gourmet dish

Coiba : Ceviche: raw fish, lemon coriander, onions. There is as much ceviche as there are people who prepare it. What to feast on leaving a dive off these wild islands. I love this gourmet dish.

Costa Rica : the Gallo Pinto: it is the traditional breakfast par excellence. Comprising rice, black beans and eggs (scrambled or on the plate), it is regularly served with a portion of seasonal fruit and fresh juice. All with views of the Santa Catalina islands where you will go diving after breakfast.

United States : It’s impossible to talk about it without mentioning the Hamburger. Diffused all over the world using fast food chains, the Burger tasted on site is composed according to the taste of each and can constitute a tasty dish. Better test it after your dive in the Kelp in Monterey.

Mexico: guacamole. Another specialty spread well beyond the Mexican borders. In February, just after watching the sailfish swordfish, guacamole (avocado, lemon, coriander and chilies) will be welcome to accompany all your dishes. You just need to decide: diving in the sea or in the Cenotes?

Africa

Egypt : Koshari: typical dish ideal for vegetarians who do not want kefta at all. It consists of chickpeas, vegetables, lentils, rice and herbs. A real “health or gourmet” dish. Sufficient after watching the wonders of an Egyptian dive.

Senegal : Yassa chicken: well cooked chicken, rice and lots of onions. A delicious simple dish after a beautiful dive in the wreck cemetery of M’Bao?

La réunion : rougail sausages: served with rice this dish consists of smoked sausages broiled and cooked with onions, tomatoes and peppers. A real treat for gourmet. The Sharks ? Not even afraid !

Europe

Spain : the paella. A rich and tasty dish of rice, seafood and spices. You will also find paellas with chicken, with merguez, … a delight to combine with the discovery of the incredible displacement of the octopus in the Medes islands. As a starter will you get some tapas with a sangria?

France : la bouillabaise: a wonderful fish soup with “rouille sauce” and toast. This is a real must for gourmet. Perfect to discuss your next dive on the Donator, the Ruby or the Gabinière. If you dive in the north, maybe you prefer oysters?

Italy : the pizza. Should we present the pizza? This is probably the most famous dish in the world and is found almost everywhere. Crispy paste, tomato sauce, mozzarella, oregano and any other ingredients to suit everyone’s taste: ham, grilled vegetables, meat, anchovies, seafood, bacon, pineapple … the variations are infinite as well as diving in Ustica.

Switzerland : country of the cheese, the Swiss will welcome you for a dive in the Lake which will end with a good fondue of cheese (cheese cooked in white wine and flavored according to the chef) served with bread … not to drop in the pot! An alternative will be to feast on cheese fondue served with potatoes, condiments (onions and gherkins) and cold meats, a real good mountain dish.

Russia : Borscht: a cold beetroot soup with fresh cream. Tempted by a dive under ice in the white sea?

THE gourmet specialty of YOUR favorite destination … what is it? Tell us everything 🙂

Convinced that your diving trips are also an opportunity to make other discoveries? For my part, I love to taste the specialties of the whole world. And you are you also a gourmet?
