The first ingredient of your poke bowl is raw fish. You can use salmon or tuna but if you are not a big fan of raw fish, then you can use cooked meat too. The best fish for a sushi dish is Ahi Tuna which is a very tasty yellowfin tuna. For this recipe I'm using Ahi Tuna, but feel free to use salmon or another fish.
You should also buy sushi rice which has been rinsed before cooking and seasoned with vinegar twice after it's cooked. Make sure that the rice is completely cooled before adding it to your poke bowl. Next step: add vegetables! I recommend avocado, cucumber and carrot but feel free to add whatever vegetables you like to your poke bowl.

What Is the Best Fish for Poke Bowl?
Traditionally, poke bowls are made with fresh tuna (ahi tuna/yellowfin tuna), but you can use any fish you like or that is available in your area, such as salmon.
