- Keep the fish refrigerated at 4°C or colder. Using clean separate utensils, remove skin and bones and cut into even cubes; do not rinse fish in the sink.
- Toss the fish with a pinch of salt and about half of the vinegar.
- Let sit in the refrigerator for 5–10 minutes, then drain off this first vinegar.
- Add the remaining vinegar, calamansi juice, ginger, onion and chilies and toss gently to coat.
- Season to taste with more salt and pepper, then chill for another 5–10 minutes.
- Fold in coconut cream just before serving if desired.
- Serve immediately while chilled.
