If you drive along the coast of the island of Oahu, you’ll be able to find freshly made ahi poke at any corner store or grocery. I remember my first taste of spicy ahi poke- my wife, Sheryll, and I were driving along the North Shore. It was late at night and we were looking to catch some waves under a full moon. We pulled by a mom and pops store by the beach near Haleiwa and we picked up some ahi poke and spam musubi to go. After we hit the waves, I decided to grind on some poke and it was GOOOOOD-GRAVY-HOLY-MOLY-DELICIOUS!  I was in a different world and I licked my lips for more. It was the perfect combination of tuna and green onions marinating in soy, sesame, and spicy peppers. I don’t know how else to explain it but it was DIVINE…and it made for a perfect night out on the beach. Anyway, here’s a favorite recipe I’ve been using for some years now from this site (http://www.polynesia.com/poke.html#.UnqvP5RAjzs). It's easy, healthy, and delcious! Enjoy :)
