Big Fin Poke - South Portland

Obsessed. Huge portions, great prices, and so freaking fresh! We've been going to Big Fin Poké for a while now and we honestly can't get enough. We love the build-your-own-bowl options and are always impressed by the amount of toppings, proteins, and sauces that they have available. The large bowl comes with 3 proteins, which is quite generous. You can choose from seafood items like tuna, salmon and shrimp or even chicken and beef. For around $16, you'll get you quite a protein packed bowl. I also love that for the bases I can do half rice and half salad! I can never decide between the two, so being able to get both is a huge win in my book. Every time we've gone we do takeout and the food is always fresh and prepared quickly. The restaurant itself has plenty of parking, so picking up an order is quite easy. The one thing I don't like is that avocado is an extra $1.25, ha!

Food is delicious, interior is very clean, staff are pleasant. Prices are a little high but you can tell that goes into the quality of the food. The miso soup is a bit bland. A tiny pinch of salt and some msg helped wake it up. If you're sensitive to fishy stuff, ask for no crab salad. It was way too strong for me.

Our new favorite poke in the area the original is in Westbrook. Super fresh, great flavors and just enough novelty that it's not gimmicky or try hard, but has some real variety. Very quick and efficient as well.

Delicious food, great portions, and great prices (I always feel that quality affects prices).
