About Coconut Fish

The Mural Man records coconut fish after a local host recommended it in Nauru and J’s Restaurant served it there. This named version uses raw tuna with coconut milk, lemon and diced onion.

The coconut milk provides a rich liquid around the fish, with citrus adding sharpness and onion its pungent flavour. The recipe’s lemon wording is retained, although the preceding meal account mentions lime.

Finely sliced tuna sits in a bowl beneath the coconut milk, with onion as a garnish. Rice accompanies this version; the separately mentioned tomato and green-pepper variation is not selected.
