Try Poi & Poke at Ono Seafood, Honolulu, Hawaii

Add to My List Check Off

Ono Seafood was voted best poke bowl in 2012 by Honolulu Magazine. The poke here is fresh and delicious - make sure to try the spicy ahi and shoyu tako (octopus) poke bowls. This place is out of the way from Waikiki and is a little hiden - the locals are trying to keep it a secret from tourists. Poke is a raw salad served as an appetizer in Hawaiian cuisine. Pokē is the Hawaiian verb for "section" or "to slice or cut". Modern poke typically consists of cubed ʻahi (yellowfin tuna) sashimi marinated with sea salt, a small amount of soy sauce, inamona (roasted crushed candlenut), sesame oil, limu seaweed, and chopped chili pepper. Other variations of ingredients may include cured heʻe (octopus), other types of raw tuna, raw salmon and other kinds of sashimi, sliced or diced Maui onion, furikake, hot sauce (such as sambal olek), chopped ʻohiʻa (tomato), tobiko (flying fish roe), ogo or other types of seaweed, and garlic.
