Poke (English pronunciation&_160;/po?'ke?/) is a raw fish salad served as an appetizer, main course in Hawaiian cuisine. Poke is Hawaiian for "section" or "to slice or cut". Modern poke typically consists of cubed Ahi (yellowfin tuna) sashimi marinated with Hawaiian sea salt, a small amount of shoyu (soy sauce), inamona (roasted crushed kukui nut <candlenut>), some sesame oil, limukohu seaweed, and chopped Hawaiian chili pepper. Other variations' ingredients may include cured tako (octopus), other types of raw tuna, raw salmon and other kinds of sashimi, sliced or diced Maui onion, furikake, hot sauce (such as sambal olek), chopped tomato, tobiko (flying fish roe), ogo or other types of seaweed, and garlic The selection of condiments has been heavily influenced by Japanese and other Asian cuisines. Native Hawaiians have always eaten poke, but never in any commercial form. The traditional Hawaiian poke consists of fish that has been gutted, skinned and deboned. It is sliced across the backbone as fillet, then served with traditional condiments such as sea salt, seaweed, and limu (sea algae). Some Hawaiians would suck the flesh off the bones and spit out the uneaten skin and bones. During the 19th century, recently introduced foreign vegetables such as tomatoes and onions were included, and now Maui onions are a very common ingredient.
