Chef's Notes
The Story Behind Raw Fish Salad
Curing raw fish in citrus is one of the oldest Pacific Island food preparation techniques. On Vanuatu, the abundant reef fish and lime trees make this combination natural.
The coconut cream adds a rich counterpoint to the sharp lime, creating a balanced, refreshing dish.
This appetizer is served at casual meals and formal gatherings alike.
