Poisson Cru Recipe
Cut fresh tuna or mahi mahi into small cubes or strips. Place the tuna in a small non-metal bowl and cover it with lime juice. Cover the bowl, and let the tuna and lime mixture sit for two hours, stirring after one hour. Make coconut cream by grating one fresh coconut and squeezing it through a clean cotton cloth a small portion at a time. Place the marinated fish cubes in the coconut cream and add half an onion, chopped. Optional additions: One chopped tomato, 1/4 seeded cucumber, chopped, and half a carrot, shredded. Also optional: Season the mixture to taste with salt, pepper, and hot sauce. Serve the Poisson Cru cold on a bed of greens for a light meal or as a seafood cocktail served with French bread or crackers.
