Today I present a delicious recipe of Tuna Poke Bowl , a dish of Hawaiian origin, which has been modified depending on the location. Here in Atlanta I have found a couple of stores that sell this dish. And it has been successful because of how tasty it is, because it is full of nutrients, and because you can build it up withthe ingredients we like the most.
It mainly has one or two proteins, either salmon or tuna, it also includes some other seafood products. Then, there are a variety of vegetables, fruits, sauces, and various other ingredients that can be placed on top for added flavor and color.
Its base is always rice, although in some food establishments you have the option to replace it with some type of pasta. And this is one version of the many that exist.
A classic ingredient in poke bowls is a serving of seaweed salad, but sadly I couldn’t find it in the places I looked. But that still made the dish quite delicious!
For this occasion I used a wonderful fresh tuna from Fulton Fish Market, a store in New York, specialized in the sale of quality fish and seafood. Their long history endorses them as one of the best places in the United States to buy many kinds of seafood products.
This tasty and colorful tuna came to my home in an impeccable way, with which I could make this delicious recipe, but soon I’ll be preparing more recipes to share with you.
Please feel free to visit the Fulton Fish Market page, you will find an incredible variety of products.
