Nauru is a country in Oceania. 

Coconut Fish Coconut fish is the national dish of Nauru, the third smallest country in the world. With a land of just 81. square miles, Nauru is abundant in fish, seafood, and coconuts. Most of the food ingredients are imported, except for fish and coconut, which have become national food symbols for Nauruan cuisine.

Probably up there with the most glorious looking plants, spiky leaved and almost pineapple-like, the Pandanus is of very important use to Aboriginal people. The nuts or kernels can be eaten raw or cooked, as well as the new leaves (the soft white part). The leaves also make incredible baskets and are used for weaving. This nut is considered a luxury and we couldn’t agree more. Try it fermented, pickled, toasted or raw.

Pandanus are bountiful right across Northern Australia, from beaches to open woodland to dense tropical forest along river banks, although they prefer areas with some fresh water. This hardy tree is abundant along much of the Yuraygir coast because that coast is largely unmodified by human practices. Pandanus can also be found on much of east coast Australia, north from Port Macquarie.

Pandanus (or breadfruit) have many uses and continue to be economically important in a number of regions. They are extremely useful and important plants for Aboriginal people, a 'one stop shop' with different parts being used for craft objects, food and medicine.

Pandanus spiralis produces tough fibrous fruit. Each cluster of fruit has about 10 to 25 individual nut-like fruits which each contain 7 to 10 seeds. Aboriginal people eat the fruit once they have ripened to a deep orange-red colour, but getting into the seed is another thing! If you want to try eating the seeds from inside the fruit, wait until they have changed to a brown colour.
