Raw Yellowtail Baja Poke

In Southern California, spring has sprung! There's yellowtail up from Baja everywhere off the coast of San Diego. How do I know? Because I'm being sent picture after picture of these gorgeous San Diego yellowtail from all of my fishing buddies. So I guess, it must be the time for a new yellowtail recipe. How about a raw yellowtail poke from Baja?

This recipe is a great way to enjoy your fresh yellowtail. Filleted and then cubed, raw yellowtail can be turned into any kind of poke. This recipe is filled with some of my favorite Mexican ingredients, like chipotle, cilantro and peppers! Give this recipe a try, especially after you catch all those Mexican yellowtails.

Poke is a raw fish dish, and with the exception of tuna, the fish you use should be frozen for at least a week before eating raw. That ensures that no parasites get pasted along to you and your dinner guests. Check out my video to find out more on how to keep your family safe from bacteria and parasites from your fresh catch.
