"The key to Ali’i Fish Company’s fresh, authentic-tasting poke? Quality control. The poke shop gem (which has outposts in El Segundo and Torrance) sends buyers to O’ahu’s Honolulu Fish Auction to seek out local catches from sustainable oceans resources. The result is a raw fish quality rarely seen on this side of the Pacific Ocean: supple cuts of ahi, generously portioned, laid out splendidly in understated marinades — the aromatic ginger soy is a standout, as is the tobiko-speckled spicy ahi — that elevate the fish’s pureness and enhances its flavor." - Kat Hong
