*Poke (poh-KEH) is a very popular Native Hawaiian food. In ʻōlelo (Hawaiian language), “poke” means to cut crosswise, as for fish or wood. The dish originated when fishermen seasoned the trimmings from their catch to enjoy as a snack. Today, a basic preparation combines diced fish, traditionally ahi (tuna) or tako (octopus), with chopped onion, seaweed (such as limu loa, aka ogo), and salt. But there are many, many variations. Visit a poke bar at a local grocer or fish shop to see the possibilities. More info: 37 delicious Hawaiian foods are paradise in your mouth – Hawaiʻi on the Cheap (hawaiionthecheap.com)
