Fish patties (Sinhala: මාළු පැටිස්) are a deep-fried snack in Sri Lanka, characterized by a savory fish (typically mackerel or tuna) and potato filling encased in a crisp, golden-brown pastry shell.[1][2] They are a staple at tea time, parties, and as a readily available short eat from bakeries and street vendors across the island.[2] The shape of the patties are often crescent or half-moon. They are influenced by Portuguese traders, resembling empanadas.[3]
