Tahitian Fish Salad image

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.

POISSON CRU OR E'IA OTA (TAHITIAN LIME-MARINATED TUNA)



Poisson Cru or E'ia Ota (Tahitian Lime-Marinated Tuna) image

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!
