Poke bowl
Savory and slightly sweet from the marinade, with a cool, tender bite of raw fish.
Lens analyzedA poke bowl is a cold rice bowl topped with cubed raw fish, usually tuna or salmon, marinated in soy sauce or a sesame dressing alongside vegetables and toppings like seaweed or avocado. It's assembled and sold ready to eat, unlike most grocery seafood, which needs to be cooked before serving.
Where it comes from
Poke originated in Native Hawaiian cooking as a way to season fresh-caught fish right after cleaning it, using salt, seaweed, and local seasonings long before it became a fast-casual restaurant trend on the mainland United States. Grocery deli counters began selling packaged poke bowls once that fast-casual poke trend spread beyond Hawaii.
Buying it
Check the sell-by date closely, since raw fish is far more perishable than cooked seafood, and buy it as close to eating time as possible. Look for fish that appears bright and moist rather than dull or off-smelling through the packaging.
Storing it
Refrigerate immediately and eat the same day; a poke bowl containing raw fish doesn't hold well even overnight in the fridge.
Keeps about 1 day in the fridge.
