Love how they mention where the fish are 'from' but not what they 'were'...
IIRC, Maldive fish is usually tuna (can be other fish too) where the meat is cut into very small pieces, sun dried with salt/spices, and can be kept a long time without refrigeration. They use it in a LOT of dishes as an added flavor to supplement the main dish.
The Maldive Islands are well known for their fish/preparations and have coined the phrase Maldive Fish, but back home, the fish is actually caught by the local fisherman and after the fish is processed, everyone calls it Maldive Fish.
