So the wife and I fell in love with poke (pronounced poke-ay) on our recent trip to Hawaii.
This is sort of the Hawaiian version of sashimi. It's usually ahi tuna (which is, I understand, either big-eye or yellowfin) in raw chunks and sauced in salt and various spices. Our favorite was the poke with wasabi!
I'd like to try making it at home.
From what I've seen on the web, if one can't get fresh ahi tuna, you need to find sushi or sashimi grade tuna. So where does one find that sort of tuna here on the Kitsap Peninsula?
Also from what I've learned you can make it with frozen fish but it's not nearly as good as getting the fresh stuff.
So any of you WFF'ers made it at home? If so, how?
TIA!
