For all you hungry Tikicentralites & Tikimembers, here is a quick & easy recipe for raw fish salad (Tahitian style).
A must at any polynesian themed gathering.

We often indulge in this typical island dish over here on the other side of the big pond.
It's great tasting, full of proteins and terrific for your health, especialy after a hard night partying.
Try it for breakfast, just to kick start your working day.

For 4-6 serves;

1 Kg (2lbs) of fresh fish fillet (tuna if possible)
1 can of cocconut cream (optional)
8 lemons (pressed for juice)
2 grated carrots
1 or 2 cucumbers (sliced)
2 tomatoes (diced)
1 big oignon (sliced)
spices for taste (garlic, parsley, salt & pepper.

Dice the fish into small ½ inch cubes,
Place your diced fish in a large serving bowl
and add your lemon juice (without the pips) and leave in a cool place for 20 minutes.
Then gently pour out any excess lemon juice and mix in the all the ingredients.

That's it

Serve cool

Bon appetit and may the Mana be with you
