Palau
Palauan cuisine reflects the country's Pacific island geography, relying on fish, taro, and coconut alongside some Japanese and Filipino culinary influence from historical trade and migration.
Fresh reef fish and taro form the backbone of traditional Palauan meals. Coconut milk-based dishes remain a widely enjoyed staple across the islands.
