Baked Whale

Sun, 22 Dec 2002 20:04:41 -0500

This recipe comes from a Tongan cookbook I possess. I am in no way condoning commercial fishing of whale or even the 'scientific' fishing of whale popularised by some countries. However if for some reason you come across a dead whale that has died by more natural or unintentional means...here is what you do with it. -- posted by Missy Wombat

I made this for the first time last night on an almost dare, my cooking skills are not amazing, I am not sure where the recipe originates, my friend gave it to me, anyway it was amazing, to me anyway! It looks difficult and lengthy but it really is not, just takes time to get it together but I love chopping. Prep and cooking time is estimated. -- posted by Jellyqueen

Ethan's Kimchi Seafood Papaya Bowl

Fri, 03 Sep 2004 20:00:16 -0400

The idea for this pacific yellow & orange themed dinner stems from the thought of progressively moving from seafood, transitioning to the mildly sweet mashed potatoes, and finishing with the taste of papaya. One wok, one knife, and spoons are all that needs to be cleaned up. -- posted by Ethan Barrow

Alfredo's Nummus

Mon, 17 Oct 2005 17:31:07 -0400

Nummus is a marinated fish - this is from a native chef from Papua New Guinea. My family rave and rave about this - even those that do not eat raw fish. The fish gets "cooked" in the marinade. -- posted by Wendys Kitchen

Alfredos Thai Fish Cakes

Mon, 17 Oct 2005 21:41:47 -0400

My husband, his father, his brothers and nephews went fishing on a charter in the Northern Territory. This was the recipe of the cook on board for Thai fishcakes. They all came home raving about this. Not all ingredients had measures so I have approximated. This is Alfredo's recipe - Alfredo was a native of Papua New Guinea. Time does not include 1/2 hour chilling time. -- posted by Wendys Kitchen

Maui Style Ahi Poke

Mon, 20 Feb 2006 15:29:28 -0500

This came to me after trying the local Poke which I thought had little piazaz to it. A must here is the freshest Ahi you can find. Frozen will work but I would add 2 tbls. of sweet chili sauce. -- posted by beachbumlahaina

Polynesian Tuna Cakes

Tue, 18 Apr 2006 13:25:04 -0400

I got this off a cultural website on Tahiti. I haven't made it yet, but it sounds delicious. If you don't have papaya, I read several ways to substitute. One was with a mango, the other was using carrots and radishes. Cooking with ginger, I'd use the mango. -- posted by Southern Lady

Shrimp Margaritaville

Wed, 27 Sep 2006 15:37:09 -0400

This was posted on the Internet for someone who asked for a recipe like one in the frozen food section called Margaritaville's Island Lime Shrimp which I think is fantastic but I can't find it. Had it in Florida or NY I think. I'm still searching...Update: I found it in the freezer at Target! I still want to make this though! -- posted by Oolala

Jack Daniel's Marinade

Wed, 10 Jan 2007 14:01:42 -0500

I stole this off of a Deep South web-page. If you wanted to make this more like the verities of the original marinade, use a touch of Mesquite smoke. If you wish to have it more like a teriyaki, then use a bit of brown sugar and substitute the vinegar for pineapple juice, but watch it carefully, or it will burn on the grill. -- posted by Shepardess

Tahitian Tuna (Poisson Cru)

Wed, 28 Feb 2007 16:07:12 -0500

Serves 16 or more(for appetizers) Serves 8-10 (for a main course) My husband and I went to French Polynesia and this was a base dish at many meals. We never had a recipe for this but we paid attention when it was being made. As a result of having this dish my husband learned how to open fresh coconuts with a stick and a rock. Tip: If you do not want to go to all of the trouble of shredding a fresh coconut use the store bought can of coconut milk (make sure you shake well before adding to the tuna). You will only need about 1/2 to 3/4 of a can of coconut milk. -- posted by Kianya

Zesty Polynesian Scallops

Wed, 06 May 2009 00:56:24 -0400

This Polynesian dish is reminscent of the uniquely tropical cuisines of Hawaii and New Zealand. It's a very easy dish to prepare, and it makes a very elegant dinner, especially paired with a dry white wine or a tropical orange-mango blend fruit juice. But remember to always take care not to overcook scallops or they will become tough. As soon as they lose their translucence and turn opaque, they are done. -- posted by NorthwestGal
