"Eating raw fish at the beach is perhaps a bit macabre for some, but for us, it’s just another opportunity to order lunch from Ali’i Fish Company. This order-at-the-counter cafe in El Segundo serves incredible poke. From spicy ahi to ponzu-soaked salmon, the menu here is on par with anything you’d get in Hawai’i. This makes sense—the owner used to be a buyer at the Honolulu Fish Auction, so all the seafood they serve is shipped in from the islands." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren, garrett snyder
