Seafood Skewers, Diego-Style — street food from Nosy Be, Madagascar

This mixed seafood skewer is documented on Wikimedia as a culinary specialty tied specifically to the Diego Suarez region of the far north.

Chunks of fish, shrimp and other reef seafood are threaded onto a skewer and grilled over charcoal with light seasoning, so the fresh catch speaks for itself.

Why it's made this way: The clear bays and reefs around Antsiranana and Nosy Be supply an easy daily seafood catch, and skewering it for the grill turns that catch into fast, portable street food.
