Eel Poke

Eel Poke (often called Unagi Poke) is a sweeter and more flavorful variation of the traditional Hawaiian poke dish. Its base is tender, smoked or grilled eel fillet (unagi), cut into pieces. The eel is usually drizzled with a thick, sweet sauce such as teriyaki sauce or a special eel sauce, which has a characteristic caramel flavor. Poke is served on a bed of rice (usually sushi rice), to which various vegetables and toppings are added. These can include cucumbers, avocado, edamame, corn, pickled ginger, and green onions. For added texture and enhanced flavor, sesame seeds or crispy fried onions are often used. This dish is characterized by its rich, sweet and savory flavor and is an excellent alternative for those who prefer sweeter and warmer flavor profiles
