When missing persons expert Frankie Elkin arrives on a remote atoll in the Pacific, she quickly realizes the two most important members of the crew are the cooks. Their ability to throw together amazing and satisfying meals makes all the difference between happy coworkers or hangry campmates. Cook Ann immediately proves her point by preparing tuna poke, a classic Hawaiian dish. Ann’s version of this raw tuna salad includes macadamia nuts, lemon and honey. Frankie declares it one of the best things she’s ever eaten.
