Just about anything can be done. Anyone can become a creative chef mixing and matching their favorite seafood or other ingredient with the basics of soy sauce, sesame oil, and Hawaiian sea salt. With over 110 recipes, including contributions from his chef friends, Sam demonstrates poke's amazing versatilityfrom traditional poke dishes, to recipes influenced by the flavors and seasonings brought to Hawaii by Asian newcomers, through dishes patterned after ceviche, carpaccio, tartare, and other preparations of raw fish.
