About


Vic Bergeron, the original owner of Trader Vic's is known for bringing rumaki to the mainland.  He said this hors d'oeuvre came from Hawaii, via China and Japan.
This version was regular cocktail fare at the Balboa Club in Mazatlan, Mexico, a long time hunting and fishing club on the costa del oro in Sinaloa.  Prepare plenty of margaritas and enjoy this south of the border interpretation.
Serve with 1000 Island Dressing for dipping.
