Had my first sushi in Hawaiii years ago and love it. Not all the raw stuff, but the shrimp tuna and salmon are delicious. Didn't know that ahi is yellow fin tuna. Not always sure about the freshness here so usually go with the cooked sushi (California Roll). It is always so pretty the way it is prepared. Love the seaweed wraps.

It looks gross, but the ingredients sound good!

I've never had actual Sushi, I much prefer a slab of medium rare prime rib on the nights we go out, but I do love raw Ahi that's seared on the outside.

:) Thanks Danny. I can send you a couple of family recipe's for Poke if you like. Next day Poke in a frying pan for a minute or two over some steamed white rice is also a guilty pleasure.

There you go again :p Keep poke-ing me :D

I'd love the recipes. I would though have to make a huge batch to have any left to heat it up and have it over rice the next day. :D

I'm watching you two :cool:

Actually John, Ahi means fire. :p. The Hawaiians did not have modern fishing line and used thin rope that they made as fishing line. When they hooked a Yellow Fin Tuna (Ahi), it would take off soo fast that the rope rubbing on the gunwale (Nautical term for the top edge of a boat) on the Wa'a (Hawaiian word for canoe, pronounced Vah-ah) sometimes caught fire. Hawaiians would yell Ahi, Ahi and thats how the fish got its name.
