Not only the simplicity, but one of the big seperators between Hawaiian and Mainland poke is how fresh all of the fish is on the island. Fresh from the sea poke is just infinitely better than fish that has had to have been shipped anywhere.

Yeah, its a 100% must get in Hawaii. On the mainland its a trend, on the islands its just damn good, simple, hearty food.
Damn it now I want Hawaiian poke

hawaiian poke is great because the fish is super fresh. as soon as itās anything less than tasty, itās replaced with a better one. thereās little secret to good food that comes from great ingredients. it doesnāt need a production at all, just serve enough of it for the person to feel satisfied.
hawaii in general is great because so many other cuisines are represented. you can drive around an island and find filipino, japanese, hawaiian, american, barbecue, seafood, vegetarian, fruit-forward, spice-forward, homestyle, refined, side of the road, gas-station packed lunch, and lots and lots of fusion you never even conceived. and it all kind of goes together at the same time.

I guess Iāve never had real poke.
All of what Iāve had is those poke bowls that you described. There are definitely places that can pull them off. Even I like them and Iām not the biggest fan of raw fish dishes, although they are growing on me.

Yeah, basically every mainland poke place Iāve been to uses the Chipotle model: get a bowl, get a base, get your fish, pick out some subset of the substantial assortment of accouterments as you work your way down the counter, some of which are included in the price and some of which involve an upcharge, in contrast to picking one or two types of fish, which are already sauced and seasoned according to the house recipe and getting that over rice with maybe a simple side.

One of the fancy poke places near me does the ābuild a bowlā model, but they also will sell the marinated fish by itself in 1/2 lb. quantities. Itās not as good as what I was used to in Hawaii, but it scratches the itch. They also make some pretty legit spam musubi and I feel like I always get a little nod of respect from the owner when I just roll in and order a pound of lomi lomi salmon and some musubi instead of building some 20 ingredient, 3 sauce monstrosity.
