Most of the Ahi poke served by Safeway and Foodland is CO treated then flash frozen and comes from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand or the PI. That is not to say it is bad, but I do think there is a difference. I like the poke at Tamura's in Kaimuki. thanks for answering my question Lance.

Born and raised on ochazuke. It's like comfort food for me. Ochazuke with a dish of dried opelu grilled or fried fish or any other stir fried dish with a side dish of japanese tsukemono. So ono. The ahi sashimi at Alice's looked fresh frozen, so I asked the guy behind the fish counter and he said their sashimi is fresh frozen ahi. More readily available. So sad. Ke'eamoku Seafood - fresh from the auction block. Pricey though. But so ono and fresh. Another lefty here. Born and raised on ochazuke. It’s like comfort food for me.

The photo makes it look like she does. CO certainly keeps the price down, but I think CO treated Ahi has a very different mouth feel than fresh Ahi. What do you guys think?

It green tea. Fishermen in Japan eat it that way too their fresh catch slice up over hot rice and hot tea pour over it. I went in store and ended up coming out with two big bags of food for family.

Now there are many imitators around town offering Poke on hot rice. Biters. lol hapabento, very observant. I am indeed a lefty! We're a special bunch. lol Kimo and Michael, I never thought of having poke with rice and hot tea. Sounds interesting and something I'd like to try. How exactly do you prepare it and with what kind of tea? Gwynn, before we get "Taste-O-Vision", science still needs to figure out "Smell-O-Vision". :-) Aaron, you must be referring to The Poke Bowl, who has since moved across the street to Ward Warehouse under the name ‘Paina Cafe’.

Or did you switch hands to take the photo? =^) Being a vegetarian, I love to eat tofu poke while my omnivorous hubby dines on fish and limu. Thanks for showing both options.
