Honolulu, Hawaii, is the home of one of the United States' few fresh fish auctions. On Pier 38, fishing boats line up beginning in the early hours of the morning selling fresh caught tuna, swordfish, mahi mahi, sea bass and many others to supply the multitude of seafood restaurants in Honolulu and all across the islands. Seafood in Hawaii is both wild caught and farmed using sustainable practices and is among the freshest and best quality in the world. Add this to my Recipe Box.
