A poke bowl is a traditional Hawaiian dish, based upon raw marinated fish, typically Ahi or Yellowfin tuna, that is cubed and layered up with a satisfying serving of sticky rice and power-packed pickles. Our version is using our delicious, peeled and cooked King prawns but the poke’s appeal is the way it can be customised to different tastes, so have a go at this recipe then get creative and season with spice, heat, salt and herbs for a flavour kick.
