Raw Fish Delight, often enjoyed in various cultures, showcases the freshness of fish combined with crisp vegetables and a creamy dressing. This version is inspired by traditional Hawaiian poke, making it a delightful addition to any summer feast or holiday gathering.

🧾 **Ingredients**

**Base:**

- Parsley

- Coconut cream

- Salt and pepper to taste

**Optional:**

👩‍🍳 **Step-by-Step Instructions**

1. **Prepare the Vegetables:**

- Cut the cucumbers in half and remove the seeds to avoid excess water.

- Dice the cucumbers into pieces about half the size of your fish fillets.

- Finely chop the onions, ensuring they are small enough to distribute evenly.

- Roughly chop the parsley, then finely chop it for a more delicate flavor.

2. **Prepare the Fish:**

- Using a sharp knife, slice the fish fillets into bite-sized pieces. Ensure your knife glides through the fish to maintain its texture.

- Place the fish in a separate bowl, keeping it intact and firm.

3. **Combine Ingredients:**

- In a large mixing bowl, layer the chopped vegetables at the bottom.

- Gently place the fish on top of the vegetables to avoid squashing them.

- Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture to taste.

4. **Add Coconut Cream:**

- Pour in a carton of coconut cream, adjusting the amount based on your preference for creaminess.

- Season with salt and pepper, mixing gently with a plastic or wooden spoon to maintain the integrity of the fish.

5. **Adjust Consistency:**

- If the mixture seems too bulky, add another half carton of coconut cream and mix gently until combined.

6. **Chill:**

- Transfer the mixture to a larger pot for chilling in the fridge. This allows for quicker cooling and better preservation.

7. **Taste and Adjust:**

- Before serving, taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary, remembering to taste with the hand that didn’t squeeze the lemon.

🍽️ **How to Serve**

Serve the Raw Fish Delight in bowls, garnished with additional parsley or spring onion rings. It pairs beautifully with rice or can be enjoyed on its own as a refreshing salad.

💡 **Pro Tips**

- Always use a sharp knife for cutting fish to maintain its texture.
