7. Poke
Though you can now get poke on the mainland, this dish is quintessentially Hawaiian and Kauai does it oh-so-well. While the best poke bowl can depend on who you ask, you can’t go wrong at Koloa Fish Market on the South Shore. There are over half a dozen types of poke to choose from so the only choice will be how you like your ahi. It’s served by the pound over rice but be sure to get here before the lunch rush when they often sell out.
