| | Aloha-Hawaii.com: Poke |
 | | Poke (pronounced "po-keh") means "to slice or cut." As a food dish served as an appetizer or snack, it usually consists of bite-sized pieces of raw, fresh fish mixed with seaweed and kukui nut relish. |
 | | Today’s poke aficionados, however, incorporate a wide range of ingredients, including all types of seafood (everything from swordfish and snapper to octopus and lobster), herbs, spices, nuts, marinades, fruits, vegetables, seasonings and even tofu. |
 | | In the beginning, the event simply consisted of a poke recipe contest, but the festival has since grown to include cooking classes, tastings and even a golf tournament. |
