Cy's Aku Poke

My brother Cy made this for my family. It smelled ono, but unfortunately I don't eat raw fish. Cy said that some people prefer ahi but he claims that aku is the BEST for sashimi and poke, and that dried aku is way better then dried ahi. He said that aku has only one grade. He bought the aku (whole) for $2.95 lb. He said that ahi can be anywhere from $3.95 to $30.95 per lb.



























Here are all the ingredients that he used minus the Molokai limu. He used up all the limu before I took this picture.


























1. Fresh aku
2. Alae salt (made with Hawaiian red clay)
3. Inamona (kukui nut)
4. Maui onion
5. Sesame oil
6. Molokai limu
7. Limu kohu
8. Fresh Thai chili pepper from Kapahulu garden (Diem's mom's house)

Must be you gotta eyeball everything cause he nevah give me amounts.
