Sunrise in Kauai. A beautiful balmy morning in Kiwiliwili. The beginning of a fun filled day of shopping for Hawaiian shirts and eating local food on Kauai. I picked up several cookbooks and unique spices from the islands. It was my first time to try Poke (pronounced POHkay) a blend of raw tuna and local spices.
When we arrived in Kauai, I had never tried Poke before and thought there was one recipe for it. A local steered us to Foodland. Foodland? That’s a grocery store! But since it was a local who knew what we were asking about, we decided to try it. When we got there they had 52 kinds of Poke, I was shocked. We picked two varieties each and it was served on a bowl of steamed rice for $6.95. And that was with about 3/4 pound of high quality tuna on top of the rice. What a meal. We were stuffed and very satisfied. I decided I had to find a recipe book for Poke. I found it in Walmart along with 3 more Hawaiian shirts. I bought 5 in Hilo two days before.
