    Could it be "kokoda"? Made with fish, limes, coconut cream, onion, chilli, tomatoes and green pepper. Picture on the bottom right.

    I agree Neil: fijian kokoda!

    All these dishes look lovely, but I'd pick the bottom left version: creamy, salty, slightly spicy with garlic toast... hmmm...

    Kokoda, of course is correct -

    but my favourite was the top left - Bad Dog Cafe as it was slightly lighter without so much coconut cream.

    The fish they traditionally use is wahu, I think, which they described as 'mackerel' but I am uncertain about this and need to do some research as to what we might call this fish ourselves.
    The Bad dog cafe one (the trendy version) was made with Fresh Yellow Fin tuna instead.

    FJL - thanks for stopping by - I hope you continue to enjoy my blog.
