Tryst Tuna Poké in Crispy Wonton Cups

Kevin Godbee · Oct 10, 2017 · 1 min read

Tryst on Beach Drive in Downtown St. Pete is one of our most visited hangouts to eat, drink, and people-watch. One of our favorite appetizers is the Tuna Poké. Executive Chef Jon Robben created a special version of his recipe for St. Petersburg Foodies. The Tuna Poké is usually served in a glass with a rice crisp. In this version, we leave out the rice crisp, and serve in crispy wonton cups. Check out the video here, and view the full recipe below.
