The first time that I tried Tako poke was after a thrilling hike up West Maui (elevation 5,788 ft). After 5 hours of balancing on a slim "trail" with a 3000 foot drop off, scaling a rock face of a waterfall , shimmying up a 20 foot rope, and then back again to our cars,we were rewarded with ice cold dos equis with lime, and poke.We all grabbed a set of chopsticks and enjoyed our reward. I started making my own, inspired by the Hawaiian appreciation of fresh fish and local flavors.
