TAHITIAN FISH SALAD
This is similar to a ceviche in that the fish is "cooked" in citrus juice. But this version is combined with shredded vegetables and covered with coconut milk. It can be served with coconut rice and is garnished with boiled egg and green onions.

Steps:
- Dice the fish fillets and soak a few minutes in salted water; drain off the water and pat dry.
- Place fish in a bowl and cover with fresh lime juice, just enough to cover; let sit until the flesh is white on the outside and slightly pink on the inside (stirring from time to time), about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, grate carrots and cucumbers, finely chop tomatoes, and chop green onions.
- Rinse the fish in cold water (2 to 3 seconds under the tap), then drain and pat dry.
- Cover fish with coconut milk and add vegetables.
- Mix and season with salt and pepper.
- Push egg through a sieve or a food mill and sprinkle on top of salad along with chopped green onions.
- Serve with coconut flavored rice, if desired.

POISSON CRU OR E'IA OTA (TAHITIAN LIME-MARINATED TUNA)
If you like sushi, you will love this! This famous Tahitian dish is similar to Latin ceviche or Hawaiian poke. It differs primarily in the addition of coconut milk, which softens its flavor. Poisson cru only marinates very briefly so the lime juice doesn't have time to "cook" the inside of the fish. The Tahitian name for poisson cru is e'ia ota. The same dish is called oka i'a in Samoa. I included the resting time in the prep time. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Mix all the ingredients together in a large, non-reactive bowl and set aside to marinate for 10 to 20 minutes.
- Drain excess liquid and adjust seasoning. Garnish with some freshly chopped green onions and serve in a decorate bowl or large clam shell.
- NOTES: Make sure to use very fresh, high-quality fish for this dish. Such fish is often marked "sushi grade" in the market. Use other fish - halibut, snapper, swordfish - if you like.
- Other possible additions: cubed red peppers, grated carrots, diced red onion, minced garlic.
- Sometimes a pinch of sugar is added to take the edge off the acidity.
