Big Island

Sure, I can help you with that!

The food item you're referring to is likely "Poke" (pronounced "poh-keh"), which is a traditional Hawaiian dish that has become popular in recent years in the continental United States, particularly in places with a large Asian or Pacific Islander population.

Poke is essentially a raw fish salad that originated in Hawaii, where it is commonly served as an appetizer or entree. The dish typically consists of small pieces of raw fish (usually tuna, salmon, or octopus) mixed with various seasonings, such as soy sauce, sesame oil, onions, and seaweed, and served over a bed of sushi-grade rice.

In Hawaii, poke is often served as a casual, grab-and-go snack, similar to a burrito or taco. However, in the continental United States, it's often found on the menu at higher-end Asian fusion restaurants or upscale sushi bars, where it's often served with a more elaborate presentation and a higher price point.

I hope that helps!
