Poke bowl is a traditional Hawaiian dish whose origins date back to the first Polynesian settlers of the islands. The word “poke” means “to slice” or “to cut” in Hawaiian, referring to the way fish is prepared. Originally, poke was made with freshly caught fish, cut into cubes and seasoned with local ingredients such as sea salt, seaweed, and kukui nuts.

Modern form of poke was heavily influenced by Japanese cuisine in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when a large number of Japanese immigrants arrived in Hawaii to work on sugar plantations.
