Then gather up the ends and over the bowl, wring out the milk from the coconut by twisting the cheesecloth tighter and tighter; retain the coconut juice for another recipe (notably Prawns with Vanillla Coconut Sauce, also shown on this show). Gently toss the ingredients in the bowl again and serve immediately.

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!
