I grew up on a South Pacific island. I have memories of my dad taking me fishing and if we got lucky we would find a beach to fillet the fish and prepare this salad. The freshest tuna is the one you've just caught! You don't need any cooking equipment either, just a large bowl, chopping board and sharp knife.

Hey! I used to live in new cal and absolutely adored Tahitian salad!
I’m trying to recreate it here in Australia and I just wanted to know if you can use kingfish instead of like a yellowfin tuna. I was also wondering if you know the recipe for the tomato and soya tuna salad?
