This came to me after trying the local Poke which I thought had little piazaz to it. A must here is the freshest Ahi you can find. Frozen will work but I would add 2 tbls. of sweet chili sauce.

Tips for Making the Best Maui Ahi Poke

  • Choose the freshest ahi tuna possible. The fresher the fish, the better the poke will be. Look for ahi tuna that is bright red in color and has a firm texture.
  • Cut the ahi tuna into small pieces. The smaller the pieces of tuna, the more surface area they will have for the marinade to penetrate. This will result in a more flavorful poke.
  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what will give the poke its signature flavor. There are many different marinade recipes out there, so experiment until you find one that you like.
  • Marinate the ahi tuna for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. The longer the ahi tuna marinates, the more flavorful it will be. However, be careful not to marinate the tuna for too long, or it will become mushy.
  • Serve the ahi poke over rice, with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for ahi poke include avocado, cucumber, seaweed salad, and green onions.

Conclusion

Maui ahi poke is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer party or potluck. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its vibrant colors and bold flavors, ahi poke is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
