What to eat in Alleppey
Alleppey eats straight from the backwaters and the Kuttanad paddy country — pearl-spot fish, duck and toddy-shop cooking, often best aboard a houseboat or at a roadside kallu shappu:
Pearl-spot fish — Kerala’s state fish — marinated and grilled in a banana-leaf parcel. The signature Alleppey dish, and a houseboat staple.
Slow-cooked duck (tharavu) in dark roasted spices — the speciality of the Kuttanad backwater belt around Alleppey.
Fiery red karimeen or prawn curry eaten at a kallu shappu (toddy shop) with kappa (tapioca) — rustic and unforgettable.
Konju (prawns) and fresh river fish cooked simply with coconut — at their best straight off the water.
The banana-leaf vegetarian feast, a daily fixture at the town’s meals halls.
