The newest food trend sweeping the nation is called poké and soon Portland will have a new restaurant specializing in the tasty raw fish.

In Hawaiian, poké, pronounced POH-keh, means to slice or cut chunks of raw, marinated fish like tuna and serve over rice. A lot like sushi.

The poké is traditionally served with vegetables and sauces.
