    I lived in Cape York for 10 years – this is the standard Sunday morning pick-me-up for the boys. It’s also a feasting dish at weddings, funerals, tombstones, whatever. It is clean, fresh and delicious. It is more piquant than raw fish but not as heavy or oily as cooked fish (though we never used oil in our preparations). Try adding tomatoes or capsicum or shallots.
