Poke (pronounced pok-kay) is a Japanese-influenced Hawaiian dish of raw ahi tuna, traditionally served chopped and tossed with the local limu (seaweed) and ground kukui (candlenuts). It's a fun, casual way to serve super-fresh tuna, salmon or kingfish as a first course, or with spicy fried rice as a main course. And it's easy to make.
