FAQ

Poke (pronounced POH-keh) means “to slice or cut” in Hawaiian referring to cubes of marinated sushi grade fish which is then tossed over rice and topped with Asian- inspired sauces. While sushi and poke are similar in featuring raw fish, they are different in many ways.
The hearty serving of rice that anchors the dish transforms poke from a snack into a meal, but there are key differences with many Mainland versions. First, poke in Hawaii is marinated in its dressings, even if for only 15 minutes, to allow the fresh seafood to absorb the flavors.
Poke began as cut-offs from catch to serve as a snack. Fish was preferably eaten for immediate consumption, raw with sea salt, inamona, and sometimes seasoned with blood from the gills. A typical relish was made of inamona mixed with dried ʻalaʻala (octopus inksac), ake (fish liver), and salt.
The fish can be prepared in different ways, but is commonly served raw. Poké bowls are incredibly nutritious and make for a well-balanced meal anytime.
Origin of Poke Bowls. In Hawaiian, the word “poke” (pronounced (poh-keh), means “to slice or cut crosswise into pieces.” Fishermen in ancient Hawaii would take reef fish (i.e near-shore fish) and massage them with simple ingredients from the sea such as sea salt, seaweed or limu, which is a type of algae.
