Awesome! As good as home made poke can get, although you MUST try adding toasted sesame seeds to the end result, as it really adds the perfect touch to an already excellent replication of the poke you get on the island :)

Excellent recipe! It reminds me of the poke we had in Hawaii on the Big Island. If you don't like your food too salty, though, I would eliminate the salt and let the soy sauce do the work. I also found that previously frozen ahi tuna works just as well as the fresh kind, provided you buy sashimi grade. I love this recipe and has made it twice for me and my boyfriend. We love it!!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!! :-)

Made this for my wife and I and it was outstanding! We are pretty picky when it comes to our Ahi and were unsure of putting all these flavors on it... Man am I glad we did! Awesome thanks for posting!
