Overview
Step into the soul of coastal India with the North Goa - Fishing Trail - Catch to Curry Experience, where the river meets the table. This isn’t just a tour; it’s a fishing and culinary experience in Goa that starts with casting lines using traditional rods and setting out for crab-catching in Goa amidst the quiet mangroves. After the haul, you’ll roll up your sleeves for a hands-on session learning the art of making Crab Xec-Xec dish, a rich, coconut-based curry that defines traditional Goan cuisine. The reward? A freshly prepared feast featuring your catch, paired with local Polle or Poi, and a zesty Feni cocktail, all savoured with the salt breeze in the air. It’s an unfiltered taste of local life, woven together by the thrill of the catch and the warmth of Goan hospitality.
