What Is Poke?

Taste of Hawaii

Poke (Pronounced like “Okay” with a P) is a Hawaiian word meaning “to cut.” Poke began when Native Hawaiians combined their fresh catch with seasonings such as salt, limu (seaweed), kukui nut, and sesame oil to create a healthy snack. Traditionally, it is made of Ahi Tuna (Yellowfin Tuna) or Albacore.
