Simple Raw Fish Salad

There are many different versions of
 raw fish salad — ceviche from South America, oka i‘a from Samoa, or even poke from Hawaii — where the fish cooks in its marinating juices. So light and refreshing, it’s perfect for a summer lunch or supper. Make sure you use the freshest fish you can find. You can use this recipe as a base for fish tacos, too — just add a spoonful of ceviche to a fresh tortilla with some sliced avocado, shredded red cabbage and a dollop of natural yoghurt — delicious!
