As promised in our interview with chef Mike Sabin yesterday and Friday, here’s the recipe for Prime One Twelve‘s Hawaiian Tuna Poke. Take this bit of advice–don’t use a cheap quality fish. If you can’t go all out, just have Sabin make you some, instead. Maybe he’ll even play ukelele and sing “Tiny Bubbles” while you dine. Yeah, maybe not.
