Lomi ʻōʻio is a raw fish dish in traditional Hawaiian cuisine using ʻōʻio (bonefish).[1][2][3] This dish is an heirloom recipe fairly unchanged since pre-contact Hawaii, and is a precursor or progenitor to the more well-known but en vogue poke seen today.[4]
It is a common preparation of the local recreational fly fishermen who catch this fish and is considered a special side dish at traditional lūʻau gathering for many Hawaiian families.[5]
