Poke Bowl

July 20th, 2019 § 0 comments

The poke (poh-kay) bowl originated in Hawaii and is an HG favorite. Simple dish. Sushi grade tuna chunks are marinated in sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, red pepper flakes and chopped scallions. Served over warm rice and accompanied by lettuce salad. Perfect warm-weather meal. Whole Foods in Santa Fe sells good poke. Easy dish to make at home. However, you have to find sushi-grade tuna at a fish counter. This is difficult on Prince Edward Island. PEI fishers catch some of the world’s best tuna. The boats dock at the Village of Naufrage where, after inspection by government officials, the fish are purchased by Japanese and are off to Tokyo by jet plane. They fetch premium prices at the Tokyo fish market. Alas, almost none of this tuna makes it way to PEI fish counters. However, a shop on the Town of Souris waterfront sells a pleasant poke bowl. HG/BSK often share a bowl as an alfresco meal. So, where do they get the tuna? Must have a hook-up at the docks.
