    Micronesian kelaguen is a ceviche like dish that is made with raw fish, shrimp, bbq chicken, beef and even spam.  It is outstanding.  Often times it is made with grated coconut or coconut milk as well. The fish, shrimp and or beef is cooked with the acid of the lemon juice.  Popular in many of the Pacific Islands this is a much loved appetizer.  It is often times served in all varieties at parties, sometimes whole tables are filled with different kelaguen.  The spam variety however is usually left in the kitchen to be enjoyed with beer.  It is also prepared with onions and hot chilies adding just the perfect balance of heat and flavor to the dish.  The bits of fish, shrimp or meat are chopped very finely for this. We made ours with raw shrimp but feel free to explore other proteins.   Simply delicious!
