Seafood is the most common food in Kiribati, given that it is a coral atoll, so not much grows there. The most popular seafoods are lobster and yellowfin or skipjack tuna, but also other fish, which are fried, boiled, battered and deep fried and baked. Coconut, bananas, breadfruit and pandanus are the main things that grow, along with pumpkin, cabbage and cherry tomatoes. Curry powder, rice and canned goods (such as corned beef) are all popular. A basic meal might include fish or lobster with coconut milk & curry powder, finished with sweet pumpkin and pandan leaves.
