Try this namas recipe from recipe author Nonie Bero. This recipe comes from Nonie Bero's book Mabu Mabu by Nornie Bero (£22, Hardie Grant).

Recipe author Nornie Bero says: "This dish is prepared in a similar style to ceviche. It’s always best when made with fresh fish straight out of the ocean. The raw fish will cure in the citrus and coconut to create a smooth, fragrant and refreshing starter. The hint of soy brings these multicultural flavours together."

This is a recipe that Nornie shared as part of her guide to Torres Strait cuisine. Check it out to learn about the diverse multicultural dishes and ingredients from these islands, including semur chicken and wattleseed scones.
