Poke vs. Sushi vs. Sashimi: What to Choose
Three different ways to serve fish
Poké, sushi and sashimi can share ingredients, but their defining features differ. Raw fish is not required for every sushi dish, and sashimi is not another name for sushi.
| Dish | Defining feature | Rice | Serving idea |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poké | Cut, seasoned fish; often served with toppings | Optional; common in a bowl | Cucumber, avocado and a light dressing |
| Sushi | Vinegar-seasoned rice combined with toppings or fillings | Part of the dish | Rolls or nigiri with suitable fish, cooked seafood or vegetables |
| Sashimi | Sliced fish or seafood served without sushi rice | Not part of the sashimi itself | Simply sliced and served with condiments |
Atlantic salmon or wasabi ahi tuna?
Our Atlantic Salmon Poké and Wasabi Ahi Tuna Poké are separate products. Choose by fish preference and seasoning, then check the package contents and preparation directions. Prepared Poké cuts should not be assumed to be suitable for forming nigiri.
Choose a bowl for flexible toppings
A bowl is convenient when you want rice or greens, several vegetables and adjustable dressing. Try the salmon and avocado bowl or the ahi tuna bowl. Both explain a cooked option. For more combinations, see Poké sauces and toppings.

Preparation matters more than the dish name
Calling a dish sushi or poke does not establish that a particular fish is suitable for raw consumption. Follow the product instructions and review our nutrition and food-safety guide before choosing a raw preparation.
