Supermarket sushi often carries a reputation for being low-quality, but Costco may be changing that perception with its latest seafood offering. The retail giant has introduced new Ahi Tuna Poke bowls, and early customer reactions suggest they may be a hit.
The poke bowls are available in two varieties — spicy and wasabi — and feature chopped ahi tuna, scallions, and assorted toppings. While the bowls don’t include rice, they’re priced at roughly $20 per pound. That amount is enough to serve three people at around $7 per serving, offering a cost-effective alternative to restaurant poke.
Social media food account @costcobuys highlighted the new item, sparking enthusiastic responses from fans. One shopper described the tuna as “sooooo good,” while another simply wrote, “OBSESSED.” Though it might not rival the poke at a specialty sushi bar, many agree it’s a flavorful and convenient option for sushi lovers.
When buying raw fish — especially from grocery stores — quality and safety are crucial. Experts advise choosing seafood labeled “sushi-grade,” which typically means the fish has been frozen to kill parasites before consumption. Costco’s pre-prepared poke gives customers peace of mind by relying on trusted supply chains and industry standards for food safety.
For those looking for a quick, high-quality sushi experience at home, Costco’s new Ahi Tuna Poke bowls may offer the perfect balance of convenience, freshness, and flavor.
