If you’re unsure about eating raw tuna, don’t be! It doesn’t taste fishy at all and if it does, don’t eat it! It is smooth and firm but not chewy. Almost like a really tender steak that is perfectly cooked. I could eat raw tuna all day. It is so good!

Poke Nachos Hawaii – Make Memories

Hot Tom and I were vacationing in Hawaii at his grandma’s condo earlier this year. We stumbled upon this tiny little walkup restaurant called Aloha Poke. It had great reviews. So we gave it a go and am I glad we did!

They served up some of the best poke I’ve ever had at incredibly reasonable prices. It was around $12 for a HUGE plate of poke with at least a half pound of the freshest fish. 

Tom and I instantly became such huge fans, we ate there 7 out of the 10 days we were there. One of my favorite things to get was their poke nachos which is what inspired this recipe. So, If you are ever on Oahu and I highly recommend you checkout Aloha Poke in Waianae!
