Ika Vakalolo

Fiji

The refreshing raw fish dish of Fiji. Similar to Polynesian dishes throughout the Pacific but made distinctly Fijian with coconut cream.

Fijian fish in coconut cream — raw fish marinated in lemon juice until cured, then mixed with fresh coconut cream, chilli and spring onion. Fiji's version of ceviche.
