Hawaiian Poke Bowl Bar
The Hawaiian word poke (Poh-keh) means 'to slice'. Poke started off as a quick snack of fresh fish fillet bites mixed with salt, seaweed, and crushed nuts. The influence of immigrants developed a wide variety of poke bowls. Japanese style bowls became the most popular across the world, in addition to many non-fish versions. Which is your favorite at the Poke Bowl Bar?

My daughter gave me a subscription as a Christmas present while our families were quarantining together. It was so much fun! It introduced us to several cuisines that were totally new to us. The recipes were easy to follow and the spices were transformative - fresh and pungent and delicious.
