Fijian Kokoda
Bula everyone! This is my favorite dish from Fiji and it suited the hot humid climate perfectly and should also suit our hot Australian summers also.
Best made with freshly caught white fleshed fish and once tried can be altered to include your favorite flavors. eg more coriander, more chilli.
Best served ice cold and the perfect entree for that next BBQ! Enjoy!
From Fiji, perfect for those hot days as an entree for your BBQ
