Island Ono Poisson Cru

a bowl of seasoned fish
Number of Servings: 
Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. Fresh Hawaiian ono cubes, 3⁄4” dice “poke size”
  • 1⁄2 cup Fresh ogo, rough cut
  • 1⁄2 cup Kahuku Sea asparagus, rough cut
  • 1 cup Coconut milk
  • 1 cup Diced sweet local onion
  • 1 cup Local tomatoes, diced (or grape tomatoes, cut in half)
  • 1⁄2 cup Fresh lime juice
  • Hawaiian salt & fresh cracked pepper, to taste
  • 4 tsp Toasted coconut flakes

Directions

  1. Toss the ono cubes in the lime juice & let rest for 2 minutes to “tighten” the fish but not “cook” it.
  2. Then add the rest of the ingredients, toss and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Distribute evenly to 4 bowls and sprinkle toasted coconut flakes on top.
  4. Serve!

Notes

  • We fry plantain slices into chips to add a textural layer to the dish.
  • For a more authentic dish, fresh coconut meat is wrapped in cloth, and the milky juice is then squeezed over the fish and vegetables.
