Nauruan coconut fish

Coconut fish sold in Anetan, Nauru, was described by visiting food writer Gareth as raw tuna served with coconut milk and onion. His firsthand account records two serving options: a cup of the fish mixture or a plate with rice. He chose the cup and described eating the tuna and drinking the accompanying coconut liquid.^[1]

Cooking sources also use the name for a different preparation. Slofoodgroup’s recipe seasons white-fish fillets with lime, salt and pepper, coats them in flour, egg and coconut, then fries them. Its cooks use coconut flakes in place of fresh grated coconut and serve the fish warm with lime.^[2]
