What's all this talk of vinegar & other stuff, thin sliced etc,

I saw a show years ago with Malcom..........cant remember his last (wirey bearded guy, Turnbull???), he just cut a chunk off a fresh Trevor & munched it down..........& said it was sweet & delicious..........

I was so impressed that I had to give it a go,

how about you guys have a go of raw fish at the cutting table, with no condiments, BLOODY BEAUTIFUL, yeah may be a bit chewy, but is sweeter than I thought it would be.............

These days I dont have a problem at all with a taste of "fresh" raw fish, well known to have a feed at the tables.

then again, maybe I have lived in the bush too long............(nothing wrong with a fresh rock eel in the coals either).

Another quick sauce for the sashimi is soy sauce mixed with a little seasame seed oil.

Love it lots MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Big fan here as well. Many a kingie has been eaten raw in this house and my six year old son is probably the biggest culprit. Will try some done as suggested above. We will happily sashimi trevally, any tuna exc Mack and Inc bonito, Kingies etc.

Mate just whip a fillet of a freshy caught fish out at sea dip some thin slices in the drink and down the hatch mmmmmmmmm ,but you cant beat anyfish raw with a dash of light soy a few drops of tabasco,some thin slices of ginger wave the fish through the soy and ginger and munch it was it down with a beer or 6 .As soon as you add acid lemmons,limes ,or any citrus,or vinegar it starts to cook .Use to work on the Tuna farms down south been spoilt rotten with sashimi.mmmmmmmm THANKS FOR THE FIGI recipe going to try that one for sure .
Cheers Rob

yeah definitely one of my favourite dishes, used to take out lemons, chilli, celery, and tomatoes out to the reef when we did overnight trips to use with any trevs that got in the way of the real reefies. Just a note though, you should use the shoulder block and avoid the areas surrounding the stomach cavity, there are some really scary critters that burrow their way into the surrounding flesh once a fish dies, and an infect humans.
Happy chewing

In Fiji we have a traditional dish called kokoda which consists of -

raw fish cut up into cubes
coconut cream
lime juice
green/red pepper
cucumber
chilli (if you like it spicy)

You basically mix it all together and let it marinade/cook. Its my favorite dish and I grew up on the stuff!

Just tried this minus the cucumber and loved it. It will become a favorite summer meal for sure.

nothinglike sushimi with a bit a of pickled ginger :drool

[Ausfish]

Kokoda is fine, use it with Mackerel, but hard tro go past raw fish dipped in Soy Sauce with Wasabi mixed through it. Prefer Salmon or Tuna, although most fish is fine. If you like, add a bit of pickled ginger, I prefer the pink looking stuff, not the one they have at Sushi Train. I find it a bit too sweet.

If you are looking for similar Kokoda recipes try searching for Kokonda as well. It is pronounced Kokonda but spelt Kokoda. Just like Nadi is pronounced Nandi but spelt Nadi. At least that is what we were told when we were over there.

Hahahaha they all sound very different and maybe appealing to others...lmao
But the one from deepfried and fish-n-dive sounds pretty kool what you call it the "Kokoda" from fiji?
Well here's a raw fish recipe that would probably come close maybe even better as it is a Polynesian dish..
ok you need nice pieces of your favourite fish fillets ie: Snapper, Red Emp's, Kingi's etc
1 or 2 Tomato's
1 or 2 Shallots or Spring onion's
1 tin of Coconut Cream (not milk)
mixing bowl with lid or cling wrap

Then you need to dice your fish and place into a bowl preferrably one with a lid,
squeeze 1 or 2 lemons over your diced fish and mix it all together,
then you need to add to that.. 1 or 2 diced tomato's, 2 chopped shallots or spring onions
and mix all ingredients,Then add the coconut cream
then you need salt and pepper to taste,
Then either wrap or place lid on to your bowl and store in a cool place ie: Esky with ice if on a boat, Fridge this is to let it set and marinate
for about half hour to and hour, Then its ready great to eat on its own or with BBQ

you cant beat anyfish raw with a dash of light soy a few drops of tabasco,some thin slices of ginger wave the fish through the soy and ginger and munch it was it down with a beer or 6

I would think with all those ingredients, eating a photo of a fish would taste the same!
