poisson cru
Poisson cru is a traditional dish from French Polynesia, particularly popular in Tahiti. It consists of raw fish, typically tuna, marinated in lime juice and mixed with coconut milk, diced vegetables, and herbs. The acidity of the lime juice "cooks" the fish, giving it a fresh and tangy flavor.
This dish is often served as an appetizer or a light meal, showcasing the region's abundant seafood. Poisson cru reflects the local culture and culinary practices, emphasizing the use of fresh, natural ingredients. It is enjoyed by both locals and visitors, making it a staple of Polynesian cuisine.
