Many species of fish (particularly tuna and cod) and crustaceans such as crab and lobster are consumed in Comorian soups and stews, often in conjunction with root crops like cassava and green (unripe) banana. Examples of dishes of this type include roti ya houma pampa (dried salt cod rehydrated and slowly simmered in a rougail (sauce) of onion and tomato) and m'tsolola (firm-fleshed fish such as swordfish cooked with plantains and spinach or native greens like matava (cassava leaves) in coconut milk). In recent decades, French-influenced seafood dishes (such as langouste à la vanille, small lobsters in vanilla sauce) have also become popular, especially on Mayotte.
