On the way back from doing Manoa Falls, there was a poke shop I had heard about and wanted to check out. Right on East Manoa Road, across the street from the parking for Manoa Marketplace resides Off the Hook Poke Market.
It's in the same building as a place I used to go to once in a while Andy's Sandwiches. The place looked fairly bustling when we arrived, but the line moved quickly. And like many local poke shops, you walk to the counter and order.
Anyway we got two half pound containers of poke. We were actually going to just go to Kaimuki Park and grind; but ended up eating at Oahu Grill instead. Good thing we had a cooler with us.
We ended up having it with our last dinner (along with jiaozi of course) before leaving the islands.
We thought that the Cold Ginger Ahi was the better of the two.
The ahi was good quality and tender. The sauce, in the spirit of local kine ginger-scallion sauce; you know, to make cold ginger chicken, was pretty strong and kind of dominated the dish.
We also got the Hawaiian Style Ahi. Basically Ahi Limu Poke.
This one was very salty; couldn't make out the inamona, and the fish, while decent, wasn't as good as what was used in the cold ginger ahi. 
Well, maybe we should have just gone back to Ono Seafood or the new location of Fresh Catch in Kaimuki (where they've moved). But what the heck, still better then what we get here in SD and it's good to try, right?

We were flying HAL First Class again. The Premier Lounge at Daniel K. Inouye Airport is nothing to write home about. There are some standard drinks and the snacks are the stuffs you get in-flight; pretzels, peanuts….you get it.
Still, we enjoyed that the seats for HAL first are lie-flat; that's the main things for us.
Dinner was an ok beef brisket.
Strangely, my favorite thing was the Rainbow Cake; which reminded me of small kid time!
So, there you go. Another trip home in the books. Thanks so much for stopping by!
looked like you had a nice time
Ok. I have to hit up HFS today
We enjoyed ourselves Kat!
Man, it’s been a while since I’ve been to HFS Centerpark ST! Hope you get your “fix”!
Cute little aloha shirt thingy there…
Ginger-scallion sauce on poke sounds intriguing (and yummy).
Yes, it’s quite cute Peter!
I think it would be Sandy! There was just a bit too much of it on this version.
