Hawaiian-Style Ahi Poke

Poké (pronounced poh-KAY) is a traditional Hawaiian dish consisting of cubed raw ahi (tuna) marinated in soy sauce, sesame oil and spices. When you visit Hawai‘i Island, you’ll find a variety of poké at the grocery store–and in fine dining restaurants such as Brown’s Beach House. It’s also easy to make at home! The key is to buy fresh fish and let the ingredients speak for themselves.
