Poke!

One of my favorite things to eat in Hawaii is Poke (pronounced Pokay), a flavored raw fish dish. Raw fish has the tendency to scare non-islanders, but really, when done correctly, it's fantastic! The bedrock of this dish is of course raw fish, preferably raw ahi tuna or marlin. Typically poke is flavored with shoyu (soy sauce), sesame oil, green onion, red pepper flakes and seaweed. There are numerous flavor profiles for this dish, ranging from mild to kimchee hot! If you are ever in the islands, pick up a tub at the fish market "Suisan" located in Hilo. Or try the spot shown in this fellow's video. Cheers!
