HAWAIIAN RED TUNA POKE
Poke. Most people on the islands pronounce it Pokey (like Gumby's red pal) but it's pronounced Poke (rhymes with Okay). Otherwise it would be spelled Poki in Hawaiian. Anyway, it's usually made with ahi (the Hawaiian word for yellowfin tuna), basically it's a raw fish salad, usually flavored with soy sauce, sesame oil, kukui nut, and seaweed.

Steps:
- Cube your tuna and dry it with a clean towel or paper towel. You don't want lots of water on your fish when you're about to make poke because you don't want the water to dilute the flavor of your seasonings and sauces. Once it's drained, put it in a mixing bowl and prepare your other ingredients.
- Finely chop your green onions. You don't want huge pieces of green onions because it's inconvenient to eat and gets in the way of the smooth and cool consistency of this dish. Next, cut your onions so that they're long, and not diced. You can dice them, but I think it adds more to the dish to chop the onions in a different shape than your green onions and tuna. Think about it, the tuna is cubed, the green onions are sorta cubed shaped, so why do you have to also put onions in that are cubed? Make this dish interesting visually and tastefully with julienned onions.
- Combine your soy sauce, sesame oil and chili flakes into the bowl. Fold until well mixed. Since you're already adding soy sauce, you don't need to add a lot of Hawaiian Salt. Then garnish with whatever else you have (sesame seeds, seaweed, kukui nuts, etc.).
TUNA POKE
This is a dish that comes from Long Island, New York, not the Big Island of Hawaii, a Northeastern take on a Pacific classic. I've made it with Atlantic bonito caught offshore and yellowfin tuna bought at the market, the meat trimmed, cubed and mixed with sesame oil and soy sauce, a little chile-garlic sauce and lot of chopped scallions. I top the salad with roasted macadamia nuts and a few vigorous shakes of furikake, a Japanese seasoning that is made of sesame seeds, dried fish and seaweed, salt and sugar. It makes for about the most delicious eating in the world.

Steps:
- Carefully cut the tuna, against the grain, into thick planks of 3/4 inch, and then into 3/4-inch cubes. Place cubes into a large bowl, and add to them the onion and scallions.
- Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, mirin and chile-garlic sauce in a small bowl. Whisk together, and adjust seasonings to taste.
- Pour the sauce mixture over the fish, and toss gently to combine. Sprinkle the furikake or sesame seeds over the fish, toss again gently, then cover and place in the refrigerator for an hour or two to chill. Serve with the macadamia nuts, if using, scattered over the top.

TUNA POKE
Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl, being sure to add avocado last and stir only once or twice to avoid bruising. Sometimes I add some chopped cilantro -- or a little basil or mint. Feel free to add more heat with extra chili paste. Serve with either tortilla chips or plaintain chips.
Tips:
- Choose the freshest tuna possible. Look for tuna that is bright red in color and has a firm texture. Avoid tuna that is brown or has a slimy texture.
- Cut the tuna into small cubes. This will help the tuna to absorb the marinade and cook evenly.
- Marinate the tuna for at least 30 minutes. This will help to tenderize the tuna and add flavor.
- Use a variety of ingredients in your marinade. This will help to create a complex and flavorful dish. Some good options include soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and green onions.
- Cook the tuna quickly over high heat. This will help to sear the tuna and keep it from becoming dry.
- Serve the tuna immediately. Tuna poke is best served fresh.
