Okay Dokay, Let's Make Poke

Poke, a famous Hawaiian dish, is pronounced Po-keh. Humuhumunukunukuapua’a, famous Hawaiian fish, is pronounced… well, let’s skip that one and get back to Poke. Meaning “to chop into pieces”, it is usually found in well-stocked fish counters and fine restaurants. Who would have guessed that you can make this simple yet exotic dish at home any time you like using Sea to Table Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon? It’s a refreshing break from the ordinary, with the salmon being “cooked” only in an acidic marinade, letting the fresh, wild taste of the fish shine through… and it’s on the table in less than 30 minutes. Can you pronounce yum?
