Hinava - Kadazan Dusun Appetizer (Fish salad) - MFF Sabah #1

Hinava is most well known as a traditional dish of the  KADAZAN DUSUN indigenous ethnic group in Sabah, Malaysia. It is a form of salad with pieces of raw fish marinated in lime juice. If you don't like fish, you can also substitute the mackerel with either prawn or squid. Have it with white rice or on its own as a salad dish.
