How To Make BORNEO FISH?

1 1b very fresh white fish
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime
2-3 red chilies
1 teaspoon salt
6-8 shallots, thinly sliced
2 ginger
2 sprigs fresh cilantro
2 sprigs Chinese celery

Remove all skin and bones from the fish and cut it in thin slices. Keep aside 2 tablespoon of lime juice, then soak the fish in the remaining juice for at least 30 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the fish turns white. Drain and discard lime juice. While the fish is marinating, pound the chilies with salt until fine. When fish is ready, mix it with the chilies, shallots, ginger, fresh herbs and reserved lime juice. Taste and add more salt if desired. Serve immediately as part of a rice-based meal. Spanking fresh fish marinated with lemon juice and spiced up with lashings of ginger, shallots and chilies is a favorite among Sarawak's Melanau people, who call their version Umai, and Sabah's Kadazans, who call in Hinava.
