18.01.2022 KOKODA FOR KATE This is a refreshing dish that is served all over in Fiji. 800 g snapper skin off Walu is excellent NZ Hoki from Aldi is what I use here 3/4 cup lemon juice or to cover mount of chopped fish Bush Lemons are the best 1/2 cup coconut cream thick or enough to make a nice dressing, it will thicken in the chilled fish... 1/2 cup red onion finely chopped 2 green chillies finely chopped or to taste 4 spring onions finely chopped Method Cut the fish into small chunks and mix through the lemon juice. Not too big chunks or the lemon wont ‘cook’ through Leave to marinate for approximately 6-8 hours or overnight. I stir through ONCE only....half way Before serving strainn off old lemon juice... well I do Combine remaining ingredients. Salt & Pepper and maybe a fresh squeeze of lemon Some people like to put tomato, capsicum, dhania. Not me. I like it the authentic wayplain Eat with Fish, seafood Nama, Boiled Dalo or tapi Have a great week. Lolom yani. Kuka See more
