Our Roots Poke Bowl

We are two young and enthusiastic adventurers from Barcelona that we first moved to Australia to discover the down under continent back a few years ago. We have lived and learned from the laidback culture and the true love from the nature and the truly respect from its environment.

Throughout the last years, we have travelled around the world and have learned the way of living of each culture through their local cuisines from countries such as Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam, USA and of course, Australia. At one point, we decided to leave our home away from home and while we were travelling through Bali we started thinking to create our own Healthy, environmentally minded place to serve the best food possible at the finest price point for every ones pocket.

Initially, the idea of Single fin came about in the summer of 2016, inspired by our trip to Hawaii. Over there we discovered this amazing food called Poke. Poke (pronounced Po-Keh) means to “slice or dice” in Hawaiian but it has evolved to become the Hawaiian staple of diced raw fish served on rice with many condiments and toppings. In fact, Poke is the healthy version of sushi. Our new home in Barcelona wants to bring the mix between this beautiful Hawaiian dish called Poke with some other healthy bowls we have discovered throughout this incredible journey. However, we don’t want to lose who we are and where we come from, so we have kept some of our key ingredients in our mediterranean diet to bring our place to a whole different level.

What is POKE?

Originally, poke in the Hawaiian language was simply a term for slicing or dicing, but it came to represent a fisherman’s simple meal of reef fish mixed together with crush kukui nuts, seaweed and salt. Even though there is evidence of the existence of poke predating the voyages of Captain Cook, some would ague the term really only took on any meaning in the 1960s.

The eventual arrival of other cultures and the availability of deep sea fish, such as ahi (or yellowfin tuna), changed poke, along with the particular Japanese culinary influences of including Shoyu, sesame oil, tako and tofu in its preparation to provide flavor and balance. The poke we see on the islands today combines all these various ingredients along with some others from a diverse range of places, such as Portugal, Mexico, and other Pacific regions. Poke is still considered the favourite snack in Hawai’I, being the choice for casual get- togheters, luaus, and eating from the back of your pick-up truck.

Our Philosophy

At Single fin Barcelona we want to achieve simplicity and design through our bowls taking into account the environment around us.

We are very conscious and environmentally friendly. Our packaging is fully recyclable and Bio. In addition, We don’t want to work with any sort of plastic or any other material that could be pollutant for our city.

Our Store design uses raw materials such as Iron, Wood or stone. We would like to keep the place as it was, no much changes, very industrial and modern. In addition, we will try and source our ingredients locally as much as possible within our range of bowls. We would like to work with local farmers when possible and source the fish carefully to make sure is caught responsibly and sustainably to ensure maximum quality with a minimal environmental impact. The Single fin team wants to work proactively with other local businesses with the same philosophy and way of thinking. For this reason, we will cooperate and work tightly with local fitness centers and some other organizations looking for a better healthy lifestyle.

At Single fin we believe good food deserves good design. We are working with interior designers and experienced engineers to create a unic experience to our customers.
