How do you feel about raw fish a la poke?

I adore sushi, so of course poke is fine. The only other Hawaiian dishes that I enjoy are kalua pig and lau lau. Having lived there 3 years and been invited to social events with home cooking, I have had my fair share of sampling what is on offer in a very authentic manner. I'm very open to new tastes and flavours, so I try everything with an open mind.
Pity we can't get the lau lau leaves here, altho I've done a fair rendition using swiss chard leaves.

The Kahlua pig and lau lau sound like party/large gathering foods where the work involved is worth it since it makes large portions. Like when making tamales.
The opposite when cooking for one like the loco moco ... cause I can use odds and ends for a fast and filling dish.

They are on my cooking bucket list - maybe I will get to them this winter.
