Da Poke Shack

A Hawaiian version of ceviche, poke is a salad of raw fish, such as tuna, that has been cured in a dressing that typically includes soy sauce, sesame oil, seaweed and chili peppers. The best place to find poke on the Big Island is this little storefront tucked into a nondescript set of condos. The lunch special comes in Styrofoam container with rice and another side, like Korean kimchi. Visitors staying in houses and villas swing by before it closes at 6pm to pick up poke to serve as an appetizer before dinner. There is nothing fancy about this place, but foodies can’t stop raving about it.
