Oka I'a
Oka I'a is a traditional Samoan dish of raw fish marinated in citrus juice and mixed with creamy coconut milk, fresh vegetables, and a hint of chili. It's a refreshing and flavorful appetizer or light meal, often compared to ceviche.
🧂 सामग्री
- 500 g Fresh firm white fish (e.g., tuna, snapper, wahoo)(skinless, boneless, cut into bite-sized cubes)
- 120 ml Lime or lemon juice(freshly squeezed, enough to cover fish)
- 240 ml Full-fat coconut cream(thick and creamy)
- 1/2 medium Red onion(finely diced)
- 1 medium Tomato(diced)
- 1/2 medium Cucumber(peeled, seeded, and diced)
- 2 stalks Spring onion(thinly sliced (green parts only))
- 1 small Chili (optional)(finely chopped, adjust to taste)
- to taste Salt
- for garnish Fresh coriander or parsley
👨🍳 निर्देश
- 1
Place the cubed fish in a non-metallic bowl. Pour the lime or lemon juice over the fish, ensuring it's fully coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the fish turns opaque.
💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Using a glass or ceramic bowl prevents metallic reactions. - 2
While the fish is marinating, prepare the vegetables: finely dice the red onion, chop the tomato and cucumber, and thinly slice the spring onions. If using chili, finely chop it.

Once the fish is opaque, drain off most of the citrus juice, leaving a little for flavor. Add the diced onion, tomato, cucumber, spring onion, and chili (if using) to the bowl with the fish.

Gently fold in the coconut cream until everything is well combined. Season with salt to taste.

Let the mixture chill in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Garnish with fresh coriander or parsley before serving.
