One of my favorite experiences of visiting Hawaii was the opportunity to devour one of these bowls. I say one but lets be real. They originated from fisherman seasoning their fresh catch on the boat. Now you can get them with all kinds of colorful arrangements!!! So now you can make your own Poke Bowl
