By Janet Wait, Executive Chef & Owner at Jan’s on the Beach INGREDIENTS Halibut filet (1 piece) Proscuitto (1 – 2 slices) Salt & Pepper (to taste) DIRECTIONS Sprinkle salt and pepper over the halibut, then wrap with a thin slice of prosciutto.

Since 2016, though, it seems a new poke-fusion place is cropping up on every block. So, pescatarians rejoice!

Huynh and his wife, Camy opened the doors to Steve’s Poke Bar at SFU Burnaby in early 2017, serving up an authentic…
