- 240 ml Lime juice(freshly squeezed, enough to submerge the fish)
- 180 ml Coconut cream(full fat)
- 0.5 medium Red onion(finely diced)
- 1 medium Tomato(deseeded and finely diced)
- 0.5 medium Cucumber(peeled, seeded, and finely diced)
- 0.25 cup Fresh coriander(chopped)
- 1 small Red chili(finely chopped (optional, adjust to taste))
- 1 tsp Salt(or to taste)

👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Place the cubed fish in a non-reactive bowl (glass or ceramic). Pour the fresh lime juice over the fish, ensuring it is completely submerged. Cover and refrigerate.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: Stir the fish occasionally to ensure even marination. The acid in the lime juice will 'cook' the fish, turning it opaque. - 2
After marinating, drain off most of the lime juice, leaving a small amount to retain flavor.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: Do not discard all the lime juice, as it adds to the final flavor. - 4
Add the coconut cream to the marinated fish. Stir gently to combine. Then, add the diced vegetables and herbs to the fish mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: Mix gently to avoid breaking up the fish. - 5
Serve chilled. Traditionally served in coconut shells or on a platter lined with lettuce leaves. Garnish with extra coriander or lime wedges if desired.
💡 Consejos de Profesional: Kokoda is best served immediately after mixing the final ingredients.
