[edit] Traditional Fish Cooking

Fish are prepared in many traditional ways: boiled in water, cooked in coconut creme, fried, or grilled. Large fish are usually cut into smaller pieces. Smaller fish can be cooked whole.

To cook a fish in coconut creme:

• Place fish in just enough coconut creme to keep the fish from burning. The less liquid used the more flavor there will be in the fish and the more food value will be kept.
• Simmer slowly so the fish will not break up.
• Use the cooking liquid as soup or serve it with the fish. It can be used instead of water for boiling vegetables.
