📖 The Story Behind This Dish

The waters around the small Pacific island nation of Nauru are known as good fishing grounds, yielding fresh tuna and other seafood. Marinating cubes of raw tuna in lime juice and tossing them with coconut milk and chopped vegetables, ceviche-style, is a technique shared across the Pacific islands — a refreshing dish perfect for the hot climate.

🌆 Where it's eaten: On the veranda of a seaside home, freshly caught tuna is cut into ceviche on the spot and shared by the family — everyday island life.
