The Story Behind Kokoda

Citrus-curing raw fish is one of the oldest food preparation techniques in the Pacific. In the Solomon Islands, the dish uses whatever fresh fish is available from the reef or deep sea.

The coconut cream adds richness to the acid-cooked fish, creating a perfect balance.

Kokoda is served at casual meals and important celebrations alike.
