SeaSweets Poke

When the temperatures are hot in the summer, I look for refreshing but comforting food – and poke bowls are among my top choices. Unlike sushi or sashimi which often adds up to a pretty penny with the number of rolls before I’m full, poke bowls are more filling. One of my favorites in Portland is SeaSweets Poke – I love that they are a bit more nontraditional in their poke combinations and their toppings. Here’s my closer look at SeaSweets Poke’s menu.

SeaSweets Poke - customize your own poke bowl with among half a dozen poke options and a lot of creative toppings over rice or greens. When the temperatures are up nothing is so satisfying as a poke bowl with all your favorite custom fixings over white or brown rice or kale salad to nourish and cool you off. Here I stacked it with Salmon in house ponzu and Albacore in house fried chili oil and black vinegar shoyu, Kimchee Corn, Hijiki Edamame, Sambal Guacamole, fried onion, furikake, and extra richness with a Sous-Vide Runny Egg from Sea Sweets Poke

First, if you haven’t had a poke bowl before, you are basically going to be choosing a set combination that is already available, or more popular is building your own bowl (think a bit like Chipotle or similar taco or burrito line where you pick all your individual fixings). For the base, you are using a bowl of rice (white or brown rice, or you can use kale salad) and then choosing the 1 scoop or 2 scoops of the poke protein option. If you go when it’s not too busy, you will usually be able to ask for a toothpick taste to help decide from the 6 options available.
