Treat your ingredients with care...
- Fish — Ensure that the fish is fresh and of high quality. If you prefer a milder flavor, you can briefly blanch the fish cubes in boiling water before marinating.
- Avocado — Choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft to the touch. To prevent browning, drizzle the diced avocado with a little lime or lemon juice.

- For added crunch, sprinkle some crispy fried onions or wonton strips on top of the bowl.
- Customize your Pukala Poke Bowl by adding other toppings such as seaweed salad, pickled ginger, or edamame.
- Experiment with different types of fish to find your favorite flavor combination.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a few dashes of sriracha or chili flakes to the marinade.
