Island Fin Poké Co. Celebrates Eight Years of Deliciousness and Community Engagement

Celebrating Eight Years of Island Fin Poké Co.

Island Fin Poké Co. proudly commemorates its eighth anniversary on March 20, 2025, having opened its first location in 2017. With a mission centered on providing nutritious and delicious poké, the brand has become a staple in the hearts (and stomachs) of poké enthusiasts nationwide.

A Fresh Start with a Unique Vision

The journey began with CEO and founder Mark Setterington, who envisioned a fast-casual dining experience that transported customers to the tropical paradise of Hawaii through its vibrant flavors. His passion for food and family drew inspiration from his kitchen experiments where he developed sauces and flavors through countless trial and error, always with the idea of bringing fresh, homemade taste to diners. The business quickly transformed as Mark’s love for poké evolved into a beloved brand. He understood that community is at the core of any thriving business, which laid the foundation for Island Fin’s Ohana (family) philosophy.

Celebrating with the Community

To mark this significant milestone, Island Fin Poké Co. is offering guests a chance to receive a free, limited-edition Island Fin sticker with the purchase of any bowl at one of its 22 locations across the country. This initiative embodies their commitment to give back to those who have supported them over the years.

"Since our inception, Island Fin Poké has been about valuing our Ohana. This celebration is our way of thanking our guests for being an integral part of our journey," shares Mark Setterington. Despite facing the challenges of a competitive market, the brand continues to expand and thrive, upholding the philosophy of using only the best and freshest ingredients.

Savoring Health and Flavor

Island Fin’s menu reflects a dedication to healthy options, boasting a variety of sustainable choices including Coho Salmon — a responsibly sourced alternative to traditional salmon. This enables customers to enjoy their meal knowing they are making environmentally conscious food choices. Additionally, Island Fin caters to various dietary needs, offering vegetarian and gluten-free options to ensure everyone can enjoy their customizable poké experience.

Guests can mix and match proteins like chicken, tofu, spam, fresh tuna, shrimp, or octopus, alongside an array of toppings, allowing each customer to create their perfect IncrediBOWL. This hands-on approach not only promotes creativity but also ensures a personalized dining experience that resonates with each guest's preferences.

Building a Strong Future

Committed to not just food but community, Island Fin Poké Co. also focuses on nurturing relationships with local supporters. The brand aims to expand its footprint further while maintaining the core principle of community-oriented service.

As the company looks to the future, their focus remains on cultivating a close-knit relationship with their guests and continuing to share the incredible flavors inspired by the islands. The milestone of eight years speaks volumes not only about their quality service and food but also about a thriving community built around shared love for poké.
