Ahi Poke

Are you an adventurous eater?  I know lots of people shy away from raw fish but I gotta tell you this Ahi Poké is FANTASTIC!  If you love seafood, sushi, sashimi and the like, you’ll love this too!

Fresh Ahi Poke served with sesame rice crackers and seaweed salad. Healthy and delicious light meal or snack.I’ve loved poké (correctly pronounced poke-ay, many say poke-ee) since the first time I had it in Hawaii many, many years ago.  For some strange reason, ever since I moved to Florida I’ve consumed a LOT of Ahi Poké.  Maybe it’s the hot weather and living in shorts and sleeveless shirts year round, I seem to be making better choices when I go out to eat.   Luckily, poké is so common on restaurant menus that I just can’t resist when I see it.

Fresh Ahi Poke served with sesame rice crackers and seaweed salad. Makes a great appetizer or light meal. Healthy!But why wait to go out to eat to enjoy some ahi poké? It’s really simple to make, all you need is some fresh sashimi grade tuna. I found a fantastic fish market near my house and all the seafood is so fresh and delicious.

There’s lots of variations for ahi poké, but they all seem to have a little soy sauce (I used Shoyu soy sauce), green onions, sesame, perhaps some ginger, etc.  I chopped up some macadamia nuts I had in the pantry and toasted them with some sesame seeds.  Added a wonderful little crunch which I liked.  I ate it with sesame rice crackers, some seaweed salad and avocados.  Such a delicious lunch!
