Soy Sauce Ahi Poke Bowl

On our recent trip to Oahu, we had a single-food-focus, our obsession was with poke.

Like acai bowls, poke was on offer everywhere we went. Not just in restaurants – even grocery stores had a ton of different pokes for sale. Like, so many different kinds of poke! Imagine a deli counter, but with marinated raw fish instead of cold cuts and potato salad. It was glorious.

There was crab poke, salmon poke, clam poke, squid/octopus poke (I think?), and a half dozen different ahi tuna pokes. By far our favorite (based on total volume consumed) was the shoyu ahi poke, which was basically just fresh, raw tuna marinated in soy sauce with some raw onion and seasonings.

So simple, but absolutely packed with flavor. Served on a steaming bed of white or brown rice, it was definitely one of the best things we ate on vacation. So, of course, we ate it repeatedly. And it was so affordable.
