Honolulu Fish Auction at 5am
February 1, 2008 on 7:03 pm | In Photos, Resources | CommentsI just came back from Hawaii and I had the opportunity to go to a 5am fish auction. This was a fast paced fish buying frenzy. I couldn’t keep up with the dollars until the fish was sold. The fish were laid out and had a slice of tail cut and a core punch so they could judge the quality of the fish. It was a beautiful range of super gorgeous fish, wish there was a sushi bar there, because there was only shitty coffee.

There’s something so sleek about tuna, and something so goofy looking about opah!

Gorgeous fish! I miss good fish markets. Don’t miss hauling 500 pounds of squid to them at 3 a.m., but I miss shopping in them. Hope you got some good ideas from Hawai’i.

Can you explain what core shot and tail samples? I assume it is to show the quality of the fish, and I am thinking that it likely allows the buyer to examine fat content, texture, etc. Am I close?

hey thats my buyer in the back ground. Im the guy who ships and sales that fish all over the world. Chris I have sent you some fish once I think. next time your in Hawaii let me know Ill show you all the great places to eat and go. I also have a 30′ boat for some sport fishing trips. And to the guy asking about the cut on the tail and core you are 100% correct, its also to check for sashi a fat deposit in fish thats no good to eat.
Aloha from Hawaii
