Since the first shop opened in 2017, our mission has always been to bring to every poke served first-class ingredients. For this reason, respect and product care takes on vital significance for us.
We are aware that processing a delicate raw material such as fish is very difficult, and precisely because we have fallen in love with it and its biodiversitywe decided to study it in depth to become Fish Experts.
Let's be clear, we don't fall in love with the first salmon that passes by; on the contrary, in order to choose the best, we have a whole team that checks its origin, colour, quality and freshness. As Fish Experts we ensure that it is a sustainable product that does not negatively impact marine wildlife.
Cubing everything is our mantra in fact the words "poke"In Hawaiian it means cutting into cubes, but one of the most important steps before that is filleting! We like to take care of the fish by respecting it and reducing the amount of waste as much as possible, so much so that we adopt a company policy of "Zero Waste".
To support the raw material at its maximum freshnesswe have become a food tech company, preserving the quality of the catch by liquid nitrogen blast chilling according to legislative decree 110 of 27/01/92. This technique is also called Individually Quick Frozen (I.Q.F) and ensures the preservation of quality, allowing you and us maximum peace of mind and transparency.
We became Fish Experts not only out of duty to our customers, but above all to love e passion of our product.
MSC-C-58965
WE ARE MSC CERTIFIED. LOOK FOR THE MSC BLUE LABEL.
Marine Stewardship Council, also known as MSC, is an independent non-profit organisation dedicated to fisheries products. Its goal is to promote respect for sustainable fishing practices by awarding the blue label to all products derived from certified raw materials.
I LOVE POKE has obtained the MSC Chain of Custody certification for tuna from sustainable fisheries.
Sustainability for us is more than a trend of the moment. Driven by the desire to innovate, improve and chart a new course, Dr. Rana Edwards and Michael Nazir Lewis, our two founders, have made possible a new and important milestone for I Love Poke: to be the first poke chain in Italy to be able to boast the MSC-Marine Stewardship Council Chain of Custody certification for tuna, which allows us to take a step towards a sustainable choice.
Like I Love Poke, we are committed to purchasing raw materials that come from sources certified according to the most important international standard for sustainable fishing. We are convinced that the restaurant industry must be at the forefront of sustainability by using products that are friendly to the environment and the sea: a choice that helps raise awareness and educate the end consumer.
There are currently 80 MSC-certified shops in Italy, but the number is destined to grow: the MSC blue label inside the stores is the visible element that will make it easy to recognise the use of sustainable tuna.
