Hi Nate, I tried Ahi Poke many years ago in Hawaii and loved it. This is the first time I’ve made it and was pretty happy with the result.

Hi Zerrin, do try the duck salad – it was really delicious. The following evening I used the duck skin (which I had saved) to make Peking Duck pancakes.

CONGRATS! That’s a wonderful idea! All these dishes sound appetizing. But I’m especially curious about the duck salad.

What a great idea, and a great meal! Congratulations on being chosen for a 24, 24, 24 dinner. Looks like it was a lot of fun.

Hawaiians eat poke just served plain in a small pile on a plate or in a small container. Don’t normally see garlic in it, but scallions (green onions) sometimes. Usually it’s thinly sliced white onion but the shallots is an interesting take on it. Nice job!
