ahi tuna poke bowls

The Gourmet Bon Vivant

Poké bowls are dishes that usually contain marinated, raw fish, like tuna or salmon, rice, and then lots of different toppings (including but not limited to: avocado, seaweed, onions, carrots, and other veggies).

They're a great option for a healthy meal - and basically, you can customize them to your heart's content. The recipe provided is just a guideline!

Poké originated in Hawaii. Poké means "to slice or cut" in Hawaiian and refers to chunks of raw fish. The dish originally was a simple snack; fishermen would cut off a piece of their catch, season it, and eat it on the spot. But it's evolved over time into this delicious bowl we're filling with fish and tons of toppings.
