Limu Poke

Ingredients:
1 lb aku or ahi (or whatever you got)
1 small maui (or any sweet) onion chopped (1" slices if prefer)
about 1/4-1/3 cup green onion chopped
about 1 cup cultured (or wild if you can) ogo (limu) chopped
about 1-1 1/2 tbl. inamona (kui nut)
hawaiian (rock) salt
sesame seed oil
optional: dried chili pepper flake or chili pepper water

Cut fish into bite sized cubes. Combine fish, onion, green onion, and ogo in mixing bowl. Season with inamona, rock salt, and sesame seed oil to taste. Enjoy with choice of beverage (like an ice cold heineken).
Careful-sesame seed oil is pretty strong, a little goes a long way. Also, when rock salt begins to melt, poke may taste saltier than when first prepared.
note: recipe is not exact, all proportions done to personal taste. If you like less or more of anything, make the adjustments, it's all good. Experiment, write back and share. It would be cool to try some new variations on the recipe.
