Tokelauan Ota (Raw Fish)
Ota is fish marinated in lemon and served with coconut cream. Makes 4 portions; allow about 30 minutes for preparation and 60 minutes of chilling. No cooking is involved.
Ota combines pieces of tuna—or boned flying fish—marinated in lemon juice with coconut cream and salt. Preparation times are approximate; allow one hour for marinating. Because the fish is served raw, lemon juice does not replace the treatment needed to prevent parasites.
