Fresh Ocean Fish Auction

 
yes, Ocean fish auction. One of the high point of my stay in Hawaìi. It beats every other attraction. Where can we bring home a 30lbs fresh tuna for a relatively cheap prize. It is just a turn on to see all types of fishes availabe on Ocean water and you get to choose any fishes you wish. Tiny but obnoxious one (Sea Bass, Hapuupuu), fat tasty one (walu), skinny yet long one (Shortbill Spearfish, Hebi), round big but beautiful looking one (Moon Fish, Opah), beautiful, pink, long tail tasty ones ( Onaga and opakapaka)and the chapion of them all, the family of Tuna (Big eye, yellow fin, good source of protein and admire by mankind).

I can only choose one each time I go to the auction to bid on my fish. It depends on the mood that I'm in but also would I be able to afford the hefty weight of the fish as well. Next time, I will try the Pink Snapper. I can't eat the snapper raw and I have to take it home, marinate it well and slow cook it. Well, it's worth the time and effort and I will put in.
