Island Fin Poké Company - Sarasota

Love Island Fin!! The spicy tuna poke bowl is amazing!! Priced perfect for lunch or dinner and always plenty for leftovers overs! The spicy onions and jalapeños take it to another level. Everything is fresh, rice is warm and tuna is tasty! The Dole Whip is a must!!

You get three huge scoops of protein with the bowl which I've never found before. One bowl and you will be happy for hours. The service was excellent and they were patient and helped us with every step. And then they gave us a taste of dessert as a surprise.

We randomly drove by and figured we'd give it a chance and am I ever glad we did! Walking in we were greeted with a friendly welcome, tropical vibe, and great music! The interior was very clean and zero fishy smell (which is a must before I ever eat somewhere). I opted to build my own bowl but the other options looked great as well! Every protein, topping, and sauce was delicious and staff was able to patiently guild me through all their many options! Between the fresh ingredients, great atmosphere, and amazing service this will for sure be a frequented spot of mine from now on!!! (Also the dole soft serve is worth the trip alone!)

What a lovely place! If you are looking poke option in Sarasota area that would be your the best choice! Big bowl with delicious ingredients!🤤 For a special appreciation deserve Bella & Cayenne (I am not sure if I wrote correct his name) but those 2 young People were the most kind and friendly and made my experience 10 times better there! Thank you Guys!❤️

I LOVE this place. I am a poke aficionado and love when it’s done right. It was delicious, with nice portions and not over priced and the staff was really friendly. it made sense to me why they have so many 5 star reviews. The owner was there and even gave me a free sample of dole whip. I mean, come on. Will return again when I’m in the area.

As you start, the staff is amazing at walking you through each option whether it's your first time or if it's been a while. I've attached photos from a few of our visits, as we love it there. On one occasion, I embarked on my poke journey with a base of hearty brown rice, a choice that promised both sustenance and a subtle nutty undertone. I opted for a combo of two scoops of Ahi Tuna and a scoop of the tantalizing Shrimp Ceviche, offering a delightful contrast between the familiar and the novel. For mix-ins, I chose Furikaki and Edamame, adding a crunch and freshness to each bite, while the OG Veggies—a mix of Sweet Onions and jalapeños marinated in a blend of Shoyu, sesame and olive oils, and rice vinegar—brought a deep, complex flavor that was both zesty and comforting. The Wicked Wahine sauce, a dance of sweet and heat, painted my bowl with bold strokes of coconut palm sugar, lime juice, sambal olek chili garlic paste, and shoyu. For toppings, I opted for the tangy Pickled Ginger, sweet Pineapple, and the toasty crunch of Crispy Garlic, Crispy Onions, Sesame Seeds, Toasted Coconut lightly spiced with Togarashi, and Wonton Strips. The finishing touch was a duo of sauces: the spicy, sweet Ono Ono and the savory Togarashi, creating a flavorful crescendo. My husband Jason’s bowl began with a classic white rice base, a blank canvas for the flavors to come. His protein choice was a harmonious blend of Tuna and Salmon, with an extra helping of Tuna. Furikaki was his mix-in of choice, adding a traditional Japanese flavor. The Ponzu sauce, a gluten-free soy sauce mixed with fresh citrus, lent a bright and tangy note to his bowl. His toppings included the fresh, crisp Seaweed Salad, the briny pop of Masago, and the punchy Togarashi, all rounded off with the crunch of Sesame Seeds and Tempura Crisps. This combination created a delightful interplay of textures and flavors, balancing the richness of the seafood with zesty and crunchy elements. Together, we explored the range of tea, lemonade, and soda options. The Cola Lite, Root Beer, and especially the Cucumber Soda provided a refreshing counterpoint to our meal's richness. I love that unlike traditional cola, this had more a spiced note to it, giving it an unexpected edge to it that I really enjoyed. The Sweet Tea stood out for its authentic tea flavor, beautifully balanced with just the right amount of sweetness, while the lemonades were light and invigorating, not overly sweet, which perfectly cooled our palates from the spice and robust flavors in our bowls. As we neared the end of our meal, we were pleasantly surprised with a sample of the Dole Whip swirl. While my husband was quite satiated, I couldn't resist indulging in this sweet treat, reminiscent of the cherished Nokomis Groves orange ice cream. Sharing this nostalgic moment with the owner, we each expressed our sadness at its loss. Remarking how while nothing will ever replace the original, it was wonderful to have the Dole Whip option.

An amazing quick lunch grab!! Food is always delicious. I’ve been here a few times and it’s always consistently good. I highly recommend the Ahi bowl, but building your own is just as fun.
