Cuisine Of The Mariana Islands
The cuisine of the Mariana Islands is largely made up of meat dishes, including pork, poultry, and meat from other land mammals. Some popular land animals consumed include Mariana fruit bat (''fanihi'' in Chamorro). Guam and the Northern Marianas split in 1899, when Spain transferred Guam to the United States but the northern islands to Germany (later occupied by Japan), and so there are many similarities, especially the Chamorro food culture. Like in many other archipelagos, the islands' surrounding waters make seafood another popular option. Some seafoods include Sea cucumber as food, sea cucumbers and various fish. It is said that the Mariana Islands’ cuisine is heavily influenced by its neighbors’ Papua New Guinean cuisine, Papuan, Hawaiian cuisine, Hawaiian, and American cuisines. The Marianas’ cuisine is international, with many dishes, such as Korean kimchi, Filipino pancit and Spanish empanadas being enjoyed on the islands. The food of Guam and the Marianas is c ...

Kinilaw
''Kinilaw'' ( or , literally "eaten raw") is a raw seafood dish and preparation method native to the Philippines. It is more accurately a cooking process that relies on vinegar and acidic fruit juices (usually citrus) to denature the ingredients, rather than a dish, as it can also be used to prepare meat and vegetables. Kinilaw dishes are usually eaten as appetizers before a meal, or as finger food () with alcoholic drinks. Kinilaw is also sometimes called ''kilawin'', especially in the northern Philippines, but the term ''kilawin'' more commonly applies to a similar lightly grilled meat dish. Description The most common kinilaw dish is ''kinilaw na isda'' ("fish ''kinilaw''"), prepared using raw cubed fish mixed with vinegar (usually coconut vinegar or cane vinegar) as the primary denaturing agent; along with a souring agent to enhance the tartness like ''calamansi'', '' dayap'' (key lime), '' biasong'' (also known as ''suhà''), '' kamias'' (bilimbi), tamarind, green ...

Poke (Hawaiian Dish)
Poke ( ; Hawaiian language, Hawaiian for 'to slice' or 'cut crosswise into pieces'; sometimes written as ''poké'' to aid pronunciation as two syllables) is a dish of diced raw fish tossed in sauce and served either as an hors d'œuvre, appetizer or a main course.

Liver (food)
The liver of mammals, fowl, and fish is commonly eaten as food by humans (see offal). Pork, lamb, veal, beef, chicken, goose, and cod livers are widely available from butchers and supermarkets while stingray and burbot livers are common in some European countries. Nutrition Animal livers are rich in iron, copper, B vitamins and preformed vitamin A. Daily consumption of liver can be harmful; for instance, vitamin A toxicity has been proven to cause medical issues to babies born of pregnant mothers who consumed too much vitamin A. For the same reason, consuming the livers of some species like polar bears, dogs, or moose is unsafe. A single slice (68 g) of beef liver exceeds the tolerable upper intake level of vitamin A (6410 μg preformed vs. UL for preformed = 3000 μg). 100 g cod liver contains 5 mg of vitamin A and 100 μg of vitamin D. Liver contains large amounts of vitamin B12, and this was one of the factors that led to the discovery of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Raw fish should be frozen to an internal temperature of −20 °C (−4 °F) for at least 7 days to kill parasites. It is important to be aware that home freezers may not be cold enough to kill parasites. Traditionally, fish that live all or part of their lives in fresh water were considered unsuitable for sashimi due to the possibility of parasites (see sashimi article). Para ...
