Popular and Traditional Maltese Foods You Absolutely Must Try

Torta tal Lampuki

Lampuki pie is one of the most beloved traditional foods in Malta. It is a savory pie made with Lampuki, or dorado (mahi-mahi) fish. These fish have been migrating through the Mediterranean sea each year for centuries, so this dish dates back for many generations. In addition to lampuki, the filling is made with carrots, cauliflower, olives, capers, olives, garlic, cloves, and tomato puree. The buttery crust soaks in the delicious flavors, creating a uniquely delicious savory pie.
