Shrimp cocktail: chilled shrimp served with a homemade cocktail sauce & lemon wedges $4pp

Ahi tuna lettuce cups: fresh ahi poke tossed in a sesame sauce, sesame seeds & green onions served in butter leaf lettuce cups, topped with a spicy mayo & crispy fried onions $4pp (or you can have poke stacks in individual bowls, the main difference is that it's served on sushi rice instead of in a lettuce cup)
