Enjoy Fresh Poke, Beef Jerky, And More At Kahiau Poke & Provisions In Hawaii
A melting pot of cultures, the Hawaiian Islands are home to some of the most unique foods you’ll find in America, and one of the islands’ most iconic dishes is poke. A raw fish salad, poke usually consists of cubed aku (an oily tuna), he’e (octopus), or ahi (yellowfin tuna) marinated with sea salt, soy sauce, sesame oil, limu seaweed, and chili powder. The delicious dish is often served as an appetizer and has been taking over the mainland, though Hawaii obviously still does it best. And today, we’re showcasing an underrated spot that serves some mighty delicious poke, among other tasty things.
