Dallas and I went to Whole Foods to get dried currants and he, as always, was lured over to the meat and seafood department to drool over the choice cuts. We ended up getting a little over 3/4 pound of ahi and making poke that night.
For those who don’t know, poke is a raw tuna salad served in Hawaii. It’s made with tuna (ahi), shoyu (soy sauce), green onions, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper. And then there are some variations off of that too. When we were in Hawaii, there were many different kinds of poke with different fish and stuff, but that’s the basic recipe.
Also note the new Shun knife. It was one of Dallas’ Christmas gifts from his parents. Now we each have a nice chef’s knife. I have my Mac, he has his Shun.

Just a tip: use both the white and green parts of the green onions to get maximum flavor.

The poke looks ono. Must be the knife.
