We are coming up on our one year anniversary. Which obviously coincides with the one year anniversary of our honeymoon. Which coincides with the one year mark of when we first tried Poisson Cru. The image above is our first dish of it while in Bora Bora.
We've been trying to think of a good way to celebrate the anniversary and one of the things we considered was attempting to remake our favorite Tahitian dish at home. While on the trip, Paul was convinced we could make it "all the time" when we got back home.
Obviously, one thing led to another and we started a love affair with pesto instead.
But the anniversary idea was moved up when last Wednesday, Paul had a rare day off of work and we went to a fish market to pick up some raw tuna. A google search later we landed on this recipe from a Bora Bora trip advisor forum. (I have to say, searching for Poisson Cru recipes is kind of sad. They all start out with something along the lines of "this is not nearly as good as the real dish made in Tahiti, but if you're desperate, you might as well give it a shot")
Obviously, we were desperate.
In fact, I pulled the above photo up on our TV while we ate and it felt like we were there. (That's a lie, but a pretty good idea for next time.)
But seriously, this was good food. It was better than I remember. And that white serving dish we received as a wedding gift from Crate & Barrel was a perfect shell looking vessel to hold it.
We might have stumbled on a new April-pre-anniversary tradition.
enJOY it
