Technically this belongs in the pacific islands, but since more Samoans live in NZ that in Samoa, I am claiming it.

Samoan Marinated Raw-fish in Coconut Cream


Ingredients:
300g fresh firm white fish, snapper, tuna, hapuku, marlin (a mix of all if its been a good day fishing)
Juice of 3-6 lemons/ limes
1 tin (400g) Coconut Cream
1 spring onion, finely chopped
Handful cilantro leaves, chopped
1 red capsicum, finely sliced
1 cucumber, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
Tabasco if desired
 
Method:

1. Cut fish into small segments. 15 -20 mm dice.

2. Place in a bowl with enough citrus juice to cover, and mix well.

3. Leave in fridge for 15 minutes if you like the texture slightly firmer, or up to 2 hours if you prefer the fish cooked through.

4. Drain off juice.

5. Add 400g tin of coconut cream.

6. Add shallot, coriander, capsicum, cucumber and season.

7. Adjust seasoning and add a splash of good quality hot Tabasco if desired.

Great as an appetiser with chilled boutique Lager or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc.

beautiful, and refreshing-looking!
 
this is one of those things that i may never have an opportuity to try, being landlocked without fresh seafood - but if I am ever in a position to try it, I will!
