Poke has become a popular Milwaukee dining choice over the last year.

The owner of Fresh Fin Poke, the East Side Milwaukee restaurant that opened last fall on the site of the original Pizza Man, is planning to open a second location in the Historic Third Ward.

And the owners of The National café and Float Milwaukee in Walker’s Point opened Bowls, at 207 W. Freshwater Way last year, which also serves poke.
