Kokoda Fish is a refreshing seafood dish popular in Papua New Guinea, made from fresh fish marinated in citrus juices. This dish is not only a staple in coastal communities but also holds cultural significance during gatherings and celebrations, often enjoyed as a light meal or appetizer.
Cut the fish fillets into small, bite-sized cubes.
Place the fish in a bowl and cover with the lime or lemon juice. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours, or until the fish is opaque and "cooked" by the citrus juice.
In a separate bowl, combine the finely chopped red onion, red chilies, diced tomato, diced cucumber, and chopped cilantro or parsley.
Add the marinated fish to the vegetable mixture.
Stir in the coconut milk and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Mix everything gently until well combined.
Serve the Kokoda Fish chilled on a bed of lettuce leaves or fresh greens.
Enjoy your meal!
