What Mas huni is

Shredded smoked tuna with coconut, onion and chilli.

Mas huni is listed as a dish in the Maldives guide, where the index tags it seafood. The index uses those labels to make an unfamiliar menu legible. What it cannot tell you is how this particular kitchen seasons, fries or plates the dish, so leave room to ask.
