Marinated Seafood, Avocado and Coconut Cream Salad

This recipe is one of my mothers that I have modified a bit. There are all sorts of variations to this dish from different cultures. If you use raw fish, it is essentially 'cooked' in the lime juice.
It is pretty quick to prepare and the bonus is that the majority of the preparation occurs in advance of serving it.
It is divine really cold on a hot day. It's great marinated for 30 minutes but even better overnight.
It could be served in avocado halves but I've just served it in individual bowls here.
I never stick to the exact recipe so it tastes a bit different every time but is always yummy!
