Easy Tahitian Raw Fish Recipe

By Sophie Gayot

Remembering and dreaming of a trip to Tahiti… One way for me to do that is by having Tahitian Raw Fish Salad back at home.

Follow the step-by-step instructions with the video below, filmed on location on the beach at the Sofitel Moorea Kia Ora Beach Resort.

> Sophie‘s tip: the quality of the coconut milk and the fish is very important to make the dish a success.

I am not indicating quantities, since it depends on how you want to prepare and to your taste. (It is self-explanatory in the video.)
– coconut milk
– white tuna or white fish
– carrots
– tomatoes
– cucumber
– onions
– lemon
– salt and pepper

• Dice the tomatoes, cucumber and carrots.
• Slice the onions.
• Combine all in coconut milk.
• Season with lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

The Sofitel Kia Ora Moorea Beach Resort is one of French Polynesia’s most iconic luxury resorts, nestled on the island of Moorea — just a short ferry or flight from Tahiti.

The Setting Located in Teavaro on Moorea’s northeastern coast, the resort sits on a stunning turquoise lagoon with views of Tahiti in the distance. The coral garden just off the resort’s overwater bungalows is considered some of the best snorkeling in French Polynesia.

Accommodations The signature experience is the overwater bungalows, perched above the lagoon with glass floors and direct ladder access to the water. There are also beach bungalows and garden rooms for different budgets.
