Two Hawaii restaurants are handing out free poke bowls for International Poke Day, good news for anyone nearby who likes free food.

• Ahi and Vegetable is giving away free mini poke bowls on International Poke Day, September 28, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
• No purchase and no promo code needed — the bowls are free while they last.
• Locations include Ewa Beach and Kapolei.
• Three new recipes debut that day: a spicy hot shoyu, a creamy California, and a Hawaiian chili garlic, plus a ginger scallion poke as the flavor of the month.
• The fish is fresh and hand cut, never frozen, and the sauces are mixed to order so they don't overpower the fish.

Outlook: Expect long lines during the four-hour window, with the new recipes likely staying on the menu afterward.
