Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

Hawaiian poke, and the poke bowl, is one of my favorite meals. Get details about Kahuku Superette here: There are lots of reasons to visit Hawaii, but the best reason in my opinion is to take advantage of the delicious food. You'll find all sorts of, especially Asian food, and a lot of local Hawaiian food as well. One of the ultimate things I love to eat in Hawaii is known as poke. Hawaiian poke is basically cubes of raw fish marinated in a variety of seasonings that usually includes soy sauce and sesame oil, among many different other ingredients depending on what you order. Normally as soon as possible, after landing in Honolulu, I go straight to the nearest restaurant to grab some fresh poke. It's like candy for me, and I could eat it every single day of my life - it really is one of my favorite foods in the world. There are all sorts of different types of poke, including spicy ahi poke, shoyu poke, salmon poke, and even poke made with different kinds of seafood. One of the most common and beloved types of Hawaiian poke is made from freshly caught ahi, which is tuna. Often times poke is bought by the pound, in small plastic containers, and then eaten along with a full Hawaiian style meal, or picnic. Poke goes great with fried chicken, SPAM musubi, fried noodles, or it actually just goes great by itself, or with only a hot fresh bowl of rice. Something that is very popular these days is called a poke bowl. You basically order as much rice as you want, and then they put the raw fish right on top of the hot rice in a bowl. You can get poke bowls all over Hawaii and Honolulu, but one of the best places on the island, is a little convenience store known as Kahuku Superette. Kahuku Superette is a very average looking shop in the small town of Kahuku, on the island of Oahu. It really doesn't look like much from the outside, and when you walk in you'll immediately see mostly beer and drinks that they are selling, and canned goods. But keep walking towards the back of the shop, and that's when you'll see the glass cabinet fridge, showcasing a beautiful display of fresh poke. There are only a few choices to choose from at Kahuku Superette, and probably the most popular is their sweet onion shoyu poke. You can order it with no rice, but I think the best way to get it is with hot white rice at the bottom, and at least a half a pound of the poke right on top. They only have takeaway, so after you order, you can either eat some right there in your car, or you can drive to the nearest beach like we did. Whatever you decide, your mouth is going to be watering as soon as you get your poke bowl. Along with poke at Kahuku Superette, they also have things like kimchi, which also goes great with rice and raw fish. So we headed to go to the nearest beach, and I was incredibly excited to start digging in. The cubes of fish were literally like butter, extremely tender and just melted in my mouth. The pieces of fish were also extremely flavorful, coated in a wonderful sauce made from lots of sesame oil, soy sauce, and those wonderful sweet onions, and also a hint of chili pepper. The poke bowl, including cold fish along with hot fresh steamed rice, is one of the world's great combinations, and it never gets old for me. Kahuku Superette: Address: 56-505 Kamehameha Highway, Kahuku, HI (not far from the North Shore)

Just know. Every Tuna caught this past fall by a California University for study had radioactive contamination in them. Which means that very tuna in the Pacific, because of the areas that they are born and raised, are contaminated now from Fukushima. Pacific Salmon and other fish will be the same by the coming fall likely. I will be asking only for Atlantic fish the next few times I go for sushi. And then I won't be eating it till the oceans get cleaned up. I am very sad about this. Once ingested you can't get rid of the radiation.

Just wanted to stop by to say thank you for the suggestion My husband and I went here in September because of this video and we were not disappointed. It honestly was the best poke we had while on the island and we probably would have drove right past the place had you not suggested it. Definitely a hidden treasure. Thanks again so much for your recommendation. I still day dream about this poke it was so good: )

Yeah, I can eat that all day long for the rest of my life. Although I finally like that same ingredients without the Soy, a sprinkle of Hawaiian red salt for texture which makes it a bit on the dry side but allows the flavor of the fish and vegetables and other ingredients punch through. That with Ice Cold beer and a good football game with good friends I'm in a happy place.

While on vacation in Hawaii, My wife and I were on the North Shore, and on our way back to the hotel, I happened to notice the Kahuku Superette. I stopped and talked with the nice lady behind the freezer, who said that a Korean woman makes the sauce for their shoyu ahi poke. She even let me try a little before buying. It was absolutely delicious. Your review is right on point.

I love this guy. Been watching your vids for at least 2 years. Actually used his recipe for the Tom Kha (coconut shrimp soup) and watched his video on Ethiopian food before I tried it myself. I got to say, I will always trust a food critic that looks like he is cumming in his pants when he realizes he is really enjoying a food. Keep up the good work

Your right about Poke being one of 'my favorite' dishes too. I could eat it every day of my life and get all my nutrients in that one bowl. I salivate at the thought as well as watching you eat it and total jealousy comes to mind. I am going to make my own tonight

I lived in Hilo for 3 years, when I saw this video it reminded me how awesome, and how much I miss certain foods that you just won't find on the mainland. I really like your videos, I'm totally jealous. I'm half tempted to travel to Hawaii just for the poke bowl.
