I finally broke down and bought a Poke cookbook by Sam Choy and also picked up a bunch of Hawaiian salt and Inamona from a mail order company called Only From Hawaii. The early samples turned out pretty good. Now working hard to resist the temptation to raid the fridge while the poke cools down in there lol...

Just curious, where'd you get your ahi, in Texas?

I just thaw them out in a mixing bowl with water then dice them up. Not exactly like fresh but pretty good. We do have a pretty solid seafood place in Austin called Central Market though it's a 30 minute drive south from where we're at. They even have line caught wild Pacific salmon and halibut that looks pretty decent, much to my surprise. Last one we got was from Krimson which is a pretty reputable seafood company. The other source is our Asian supermarkets. They usually have pretty decent flash frozen filets but sometimes they are not graded so a bit more of a crap shoot. The really fresh fish here is all Gulf Coast seafood. Pretty good but to me not as great as the seafood back home in the Northwest.

I love poke. Recipe looks good. I add just a little red pepper flake. Kicks it to the next level. You probably know, never add too much soy. Ruins the whole thing, over powering soy, no good.

Go there once a week. We're pretty lucky to have two solid sushi joints and an Oyster Bar within easy driving distance. There's also 2 or 3 poke joints in Austin like you mention. Will have to make a point to check them out soon. Always a good way to compare what you make at home with what a professional chef makes. There's always room for improvement in cooking. I agree with Pablo that soy sauce can easily become too much of a good thing. Great in moderation, horrible when overdone. I actually came dangerously close with the soy sauce on this batch but it is still really tasty. Ruining a batch of sashimi grade ahi is right on par with overcooking a USDA Prime steak lol.

(salty) never did like aloha soy uggghhh stop... just stop. Aloha Shoyu or nothing. Poke is a traditional Hawaiian dish, and Hawaiians take everything about traditional food very personally... use anything but Aloha Shoyu and you're eating sushi. Don't mix it up. Dave you did good, a little heavy on the sesame seeds but other than that it looks right on.

Did someone say poke?! =) This was a little batch we whipped up over the summer. If you guys are ever in the Renton neighborhood come by Uwajimaya for what I think is some of the best poke around! 4 flavors of tuna poke plus salmon, scallop and Tako .... plus others that make guest appearances.
