Exploring the markets and restaurants around Kailua, you’ll find many dishes inspired by local ingredients - we particularly enjoy Poke. Influenced by Japanese and other Asian cuisines, Poke originated from local fishermen that would season their cut-offs from the catch of the day and serve it as a snack. Traditionally, Poke is raw tuna or octopus mixed with various seasonings like: soy sauce, green onions, and sesame oil. It can also be enjoyed around the Hawaiian islands with other seafood like salmon or shellfish.
