Poke (food)
Poke ( ; Hawaiian for 'to slice' or 'cut crosswise into pieces'; sometimes written as ''poké'' to aid pronunciation as two syllables) is a dish of diced raw fish tossed in sauce and served either as an appetizer or a main course. History Pre-contact period Most fish were cultivated in large fishponds or caught near shore in shallow waters and reefs. Fishing and fish caught beyond the reef in the deep sea were reserved for chiefs according to the kapu system which regulated the way of life in Ancient Hawaii. Poke began as cut-offs from catch to serve as a snack. Fish was preferably eaten for immediate consumption, raw with sea salt, inamona, and sometimes seasoned with blood from the gills. A typical relish was made of inamona mixed with dried (octopus inksac), (fish liver), and salt. The poke was accompanied with limu and a large bowl of .

Needlefish
Needlefish (family Belonidae) or long toms are piscivorous fishes primarily associated with very shallow marine habitats or the surface of the open sea. Some genera include species found in marine, brackish, and freshwater environments (e.g., '' Strongylura''), while a few genera are confined to freshwater rivers and streams, including '' Belonion'', '' Potamorrhaphis'', and '' Xenentodon''. Needlefish closely resemble North American freshwater gars (family Lepisosteidae) in being elongated and having long, narrow jaws filled with sharp teeth, and some species of needlefishes are referred to as gars or garfish despite being only distantly related to the true gars. In fact, the name " garfish" was originally used for the needlefish '' Belone belone'' in Europe and only later applied to the North American fishes by European settlers during the 18th century. Description Needlefish are slender, ranging from in length. They have a single dorsal fin, placed far back on the body, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Goldsaddle Goatfish
''Parupeneus cyclostomus'', commonly known as the Yellow-saddle goatfish, blue goatfish or bright goatfish, is one of 66 currently known species of goatfish.

It is a commercially important species and has recently been considered an environmental indicator to gauge the impact of habitat modification, coastal degradation, pollution, and commercial fisheries. Yellow-saddle goatfish, along with other species of goatfish, is of high economic importance in many parts of the w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
