The Hawaiian tuna poke is on delicious meal!

We all wish we could be in Miami right now – and not just for the weather. Miami boasts some of the best restaurants in the country, serving some of the best dishes in the world. YUM! One of Miami’s best restaurants, Prime 112, shared the wealth by sharing a recipe to one of their most popular dishes. I can’t wait to attempt this at home. Recipe comes via Executive Chef Mike Sabin.
