Recipes Marinated Raw Fish

Marinated Raw Fish

This is a popular dish throughout the Pacific Islands and a great choice for a light summer meal. The lemon juice ‘cooks’ the fish and turns the flesh white, then coconut milk adds flavour and moisture.

Great recipe. We used fresh tuna which did not turn white. (Tuna is pink) Previously I did a recipe from a neighbour but I didn’t drain so lemon juice and salt stayed in the bowl. I’ll comment once we get to eat it tonight.
