Watermelon standing in for raw fish is the whole conceit and it works better than it sounds — you cure it in soy, sesame and a bit of chilli, and the texture ends up genuinely close to tuna once it's had time to sit. Chef Emily was clear that it needs that marinating time and can't be rushed, which is the difference between it working and it being a bowl with fruit in it. It's also entirely vegan, which meant nobody on our team needed an alternative.
Ben
I've eaten a lot of poke and was sceptical about a version with no fish in it. The honest answer is that it isn't a replacement, it's its own thing — sweeter, and the marinade does more of the work — but it stands up on its own terms. The rice matters more than people expect and gets proper attention.
Caleb
Good energy and Chef Emily made a convincing case for the dish to a group that had booked it with visible doubt. The building-a-bowl logic — something marinated, something crunchy, something creamy, something acidic — is the transferable part and I've used it since with entirely different ingredients.
Quinn
I cook a fair amount and the technique worth having was the curing — salt draws water out of the watermelon and firms it up, and only then does the marinade go on. Doing it in the other order gives you something watery and diluted. That two-stage approach transfers to plenty of other things and it's the sort of detail that separates a dish that works from one that nearly does.
