What Is a Poke Bowl?
Originally from Hawaii, a poke bowl is a fresh and colorful dish traditionally made with marinated raw fish—most often tuna—served over rice and paired with a variety of vegetables, fruits, and toppings. The word “poke” means “to slice” or “cut into pieces” in Hawaiian, referring to the diced fish that forms the heart of the dish.
Today, poke bowls have become a popular meal around the world thanks to their balance of flavor, texture, and nutrition. While classic versions feature raw fish, modern interpretations allow for endless creativity.
A French Twist on a Hawaiian Classic
In this recipe, we give the poke bowl a French coastal twist by replacing raw tuna with Mouettes d’Arvor Sardines in Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Lemon. Rich in protein and omega-3s, these premium sardines bring a delicious Mediterranean flavor that pairs perfectly with fresh vegetables, creamy avocado, sweet mango, and fragrant rice.
The result is a vibrant, wholesome bowl that’s easy to prepare and packed with flavor. Perfect for a light lunch, a healthy dinner, or a refreshing summer meal.
