Best Poke Ever - Spicy Tuna style using Ono - Hawaiian Wahoo - Blue Water Spearfishing!

Spicy tuna is a popular style of poke but you don't have to use ahi to enjoy the vibrant flavors of this raw fish favorite. You also don't have to use loads of mayonnaise! Kimi Werner walks us through her recipe for the best poke ever, takes us on a blue water adventure of spearfishing ono (Hawaiian word for wahoo ), then enjoys this delicious dish of fresh fish at a beach in Hawaii with her family.
Fresh fish
Hawaiian salt
sesame oil
chili oil
sriracha sauce
tobiko
mayo
green onions
You can enjoy this as is, with chips or crackers or on sushi!

So glad to see you started a KZbin channel! The episode with Brad Leone on BA It's Alive, I was hooked!

[@DeloresMendiola670]

I’ve been craving this since yesterday! This was posted at the right time. Also, great job on the editing. I love the transition from you cutting the fish then you catching the fish (with music) and then back to you. 💗🐟

[@kimiwerner]

That's all my hubby Justin! It literally cracked me up when I watched that part! I love how he takes us on these spontaneous detours!

Made this with sweep fillets for lunch today. Absolutely loved it! Thanks for the awesome recipe. Missus thinks it was the best fish dish I've prepared! Had it with rice and raw veg. No roe for us, but we added coriander to the fish mix. Will definitely make again!

Thanks Kimi... Really appreciate the video. My son Mike has made ono poke for us, using your recipe, while we were in HI. It's awesome 👍 Today I will be making it for friends at Palm Beach Shores FL. Thanks again.

[@brodiwheeler7583]

So Ono!!! I like try! 🤙🏼😋

[@leimomiaki6742]

I love how your 🐟 is freshly cought by you. I find that so amazingly awesome. Nothing taste better then fresh 🐟. I can't wait to try this recipe. I love to order spicy ahi poke...but they really do over load the 🐟 with to much mayonnaise. This recipe is perfect.☺

[@kimiwerner]

So so great to hear this!! Mahalp sis!

Love it. Wish I was in Hilo getting some😃🌈🤙

[@ehumaui4087]

Congratulations on new baby

[@kimiwerner]

mahalo!

[@PeterOlsonSD]

Mmmmm... looks so good. Every time I eat poke, I'm transported back to Hawaii in my mind. Overdosing (not literally) on poke is a typical outcome during my trips to Hawaii. So yummy!

[@kimiwerner]

We just ate some for lunch today! 🙌🏽

I'm so glad to have found your KZbin channel! I became a fan after seeing an episode of "Living Free" in which you and a survivalist named Nikki were trying to survive in the woods. It was shown on the TV channel of the Norwegian Cruise line, believe it or not! Wish I could have seen the whole series!

[@kimiwerner]

I loved that episode and love Nikki!

[@supertrouper2550]

@@kimiwerner It definitely made me want to see the rest of the series! But the episode was so great..the way it was shot, the feeling like you were in another world..made you feel like you were right there!

[@clydem7899]

I like some!!🤙🤙🤙 subbed😁

[@elkhunter76]

I used to use Best Foods mayo but was introduced to Duke's mayo and it is much better IMHO. OF all the ingredients you have I can get 3 here in WY. I even have to order Duke's mayo from the maker. Poke looks delicious!

[@clarkie0167]

I cut my fish in thin rectangles like Tamashiro's. More sauce and more surface area at the same time.

[@kevinkawamoto7322]

That's ono! Same as my recipe, almost. A little shoyu [cause all my fish have shoyu] and oyster sauce. Sometimes ponzu sauce. Hanapaa!

[@kimiwerner]

I will never argue with shoyu 👅

[@rosebrinkcapriola]

Kimi is that toasted sesame oil? or untoasted

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

Interesting way of doing raw fish, no lemon juice and coconut cream like how I do it, and never heard of mayo and raw fish I might have to give it a go. 😀

[@charleymasubed2510]

True, even me I'm suprised..no lemon juice?? Mayo?

[@vaketupou5674]

This is how raw fish is made in Hawaii there’s many variations in poke you should try it poke is delicious I eat oka too I just love fish in general lol

[@kimiwerner]

Most of our poke here in Hawaii has no lemon juice. The acid cooks it and most poke is eaten truly raw. The mayo addition is a more contemporary addition. Hope you like it!

[@lynettehartung8862]

New subscriber love your family channel the food looks amazing. I know buddy is older now an he might not need to be held so much but here in africa the local woman strap their baby's on their backs with n wrap an they do amazing stuff with baby... carry fire wood or water on their head and cooking ect maybe you can see if it will give you more freedom while cooking as i also found the front facing carriers impractical.

[@lemafasope4029]

How long can you hold your breath?

[@jl.c.8673]

Beautiful dish. Curious to know; do people in Hawaii have longevious lives? I assume diet is pretty healthy.

[@lavidatribe769]

I dig the song you use doing the diving clip for Wahoo, would you post what its called?

Thanks for posting and including the underwater shot of the ono. It's a fish I've never caught/speared, but one that is no doubt very familiar to you ;-).

[@fv_Haymaker]

Been making mine with king salmon because that's what I have. Have you tried with any of the salmon you caught on your AK trip?

[@ta2505]

Great video, and I love how you include baby! Can I respectfully suggest an ergo baby carrier (great for back carrying too which will be easier and safer when cooking, I learned the hard way front carrying whilst cooking 🙈). The carrier you're using is not optimal in terms of hip development. Baby is hanging. His legs should be in the 'w' position.

[@kimiwerner]

Thank you! Haven't tried back carrying yet!
