POUR Kitchen & Bar’s Poke Nachos

Tastemaker

July 29, 2023

Poke and nachos? What could be better? That was our takeaway when dining at Petoskey’s POUR Kitchen & Bar on a recent July night. For the uninitiated, poke (poh-kay) is a Hawaiian dish that features raw fish, fresh veggies (and sometimes fruit), and lots of flavor. Think of it as an island-inspired, deconstructed sushi roll or a tasty fish salad. POUR takes this concept—using marinated ahi tuna, mango salsa, avocado mousse, and unagi—and puts it on top of crispy wonton chips with a dash of salsa verde. Scallions, sesame seeds, and togarashi (a spicy chili seasoning) round out the dish. They even offer a wine pairing from their impressive wine list to accompany the dish: Raventós De Nit, a beautifully subtle rosé perfect for summer sipping. Don’t miss out on this cultural mash-up ($25) when you next visit POUR at 422 E Mitchell Street in Petoskey. (231) 881-9800, pourpetoskey.com
