This is the classic raw fish salad from Tahiti known natively as kokoda, though it's known on Norfolk island as Tahitian Fish.
Ingredients:
1kg very fresh fish fillets, skinned
Juice of 10 limes and 3 lemons
2 medium onions, finely diced
3 red chillies, minced
400g (2 cups) ripe tomato, finely chopped
6 spring onions, finely sliced
Leaves from a few coriander stems
1l (4 cups) coconut milk
1 tsp sea salt (or to taste)
Lime wedges and coconut shell to serve
Method:
Cut the skinned fish fillets into 1cm (1/2 in) dice, discarding any bloody or bruised pieces.
Place the fish in a bowl and mix with the citrus juices. Transfer to the refrigerator and marinate for 2-3 hours, or until the fish is opaque.
Drain the fish then mix in the onion, chilli, tomato, spring onion, coriander, coconut milk and salt.
Mix well to combine, place in the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour. Divide between coconut shell halves, garnish with the lime wedges and serve.
