Can You Eat Seafood for Every Meal in Goa? I Tried and Here’s What Happened

As soon as I landed at Goa airport, I had one mission – eat seafood for every single meal. Yep, breakfast, lunch, dinner, midnight snack – bring it on! If you're planning a Goa trip, especially as a die-hard foodie, buckle up – I’ve got the full scoop (with some masala) for you.

Day 1: The Fish Thali Baptism
Straight from the Goa airport to a local beachside shack near Calangute, I kicked things off with a traditional Goan fish thali. Think: fried kingfish, coconut curry, rice, kismur (dried prawn salad), and some mystery pickle that set my soul on fire. I called it my ‘Goan baptism by spice’.

Day 2: Prawn Power & Beachside Bliss
After a dreamy sunrise at Goa beach India, I headed to this little gem in Anjuna serving buttery garlic prawns with poi (Goan bread). The shack owner – a cheerful uncle named Savio – winked and said, “Ami Goenkar, seafood is our blood, re!” I believed him. Breakfast and lunch, sorted. Dinner? Crab xacuti and squid recheado. My belly? Blessed.

Day 3: Living the Villa Life... with Lobster
Checked into one of the best beach resorts in Goa (no flex, but my stay in Goa was). They served grilled lobster for breakfast. No kidding. I ate it poolside like a full-on VIP. Also found a shack that made a killer fish vindaloo – enough spice to make you question all your life choices (in a good way).

Day 4: Uh-oh, Seafood Overload?
I woke up dreaming of paneer tikka. That’s when I knew I might’ve overdone it. But a promise is a promise. Breakfast: prawn omelette. Lunch: bangda (mackerel) curry. Dinner: Goan prawn pulao. My stomach was making more noise than Baga at midnight.

Day 5: The Comeback with King Crab
Staying at one of the boujee villas in Goa meant one thing: room service goals. The chef whipped up king crab with peri-peri masala. I devoured it while watching the waves crash, thinking, “This is peak Goa energy.”

Final Verdict:
Can you eat seafood for every meal in Goa? Hell yes. Should you? Maybe not... unless you want to start dreaming of aloo paratha and dahi like I did by Day 4. But if you’re landing at Goa airport soon, just remember: every shack, resort, and aunty with a tandoor has a fishy story to tell. And it’s delicious.

So go ahead – get sun-kissed, slightly tipsy, and fully stuffed on your next Goa trip. Your taste buds will thank you, even if your tummy begs for a break!
