'Ota 'ika

Okay, little friend, let me explain 'ota 'ika to you. 'Ota 'ika is a dish from the Polynesian island of Tonga. It is made with raw fish, usually tuna or snapper, that is cut into small cubes and mixed with chopped onions, coconut milk, and citrus juice, like lemon or lime.

To make it, first, the fish is cleaned and cut into small pieces. Then, the onions are chopped into tiny pieces and mixed with the fish. After that, the coconut milk and the citrus juice are added. The dish is then mixed well and left to marinate for a few hours so that the flavors can blend together.

Once the marinating is done, the 'ota 'ika is ready to be served. Usually, it is eaten with root vegetables like sweet potatoes or taro. It can also be served with a side of coconut cream or raw onions.

So, there you have it little buddy, 'ota 'ika is a dish made with raw fish, onions, coconut milk, and citrus juice, and it comes from Tonga!
