Inspired by the Hawaiian lifestyle, Mark Setterington had a vision to transport guests to a white-sand beach in the tropical islands through incredibly fresh flavors.

Mark’s dedication and passion for creating the perfect poké recipes led him to transform his kitchen into a hub for experimentation and culinary creativity, making his kitchen the epicenter of the poké revolution. Friends and family gathered to taste test sauces, and the house was never short of visitors when there was poké involved. Over the course of several taste tests, and even some failures, the creation of the homemade sauces was complete, and they were all fresh, delicious and gluten-free. From the homemade sauces to over 25 toppings and sustainably sourced protein, every guest would be tasting the flavors of the islands.

In 2017, Mark’s vision became a reality and the Island Fin Poké Co. Ohana was officially born. In the Hawaiian language, Ohana translates to “family” and Island Fin Poké Co. is all about creating an Ohana-like environment for its community. Every location follows The Island Fin Way, where guests are welcomed with a friendly greeting and treated like family during every interaction with the brand.

Fast forward to today, Island Fin Poké Co. is now successfully expanding into new markets around the country and is considered America’s best poké destination because of their deliciously healthy flavors, incredible service and their Ohana mindset.
