    Kokoda Fish is a popular snack or appetizer in many Pacific Island nations.  I absolutely love ceviche and kokoda fish is basically a ceviche  with a twist. We loved it!

    This kokoda fish is a little different with the addition of the creamy coconut.  A wonderful addition!   You can use any type of fresh fish that you love but generally a firm white fish works best for this recipe.  You can use either lemon or lime juice to "cook" the fish.  I used lemon juice.  You will need to plan ahead as the fish should "cook" about 6- 8 hours.

    If you would like to make this recipe plant paradox friendly, instead of using tomatoes and cucumber use avocado and jicama.  Everything else is perfect.   If you are wondering what the Plant Paradox diet is, you can pick up the book here.  It is a diet I am following and I will make note of the recipes that fit into the diet along the way.

    This would be wonderful served with taro, sweet potato or plantain chips to scoop up that kokoda fish goodness.

    Did you know that Papua New Guinea  has a tribe called the Kitavans that have a reputation for longevity despite their bad habits one of which is  smoking. If you would like to learn more be sure to check out "Our Journey to Papua New Guinea".
