4 servings Pronounced “poh-kay,” this simple Hawaiian preparation can take on scores of different forms, although the original was simple—just raw fish, salt, roasted and ground kukui or candlenuts, or perhaps seaweed. Please read Serving Raw Fish for how to choose and handle fish safely. For a spicy version made with cooked octopus, see Tako Poke (Korean-Style Octopus Poke).
