I'd get some ahi poke and make some ahi cakes. The poke here costs about $12 a pound and you can make 4 cakes with that amount. You also get to decide how well you want the ahi done. I'll take mine just seared at high heat.

Yesterday my daughter made some crab/cream cheese won tons. She used fake crab. She also made some corn fritters and mochi with strawberry and sweet red beans. She's keeping busy these days. She kept coming into our bedroom carrying plates.
