At the Honolulu fish auction, the day starts at 12: 30 a. m. and ends when all of Hawaii's top sushi vendors have their tuna. rob: I personally went to the auction once and it was fun. I stayed away from the tuna and let the professionals do there thing but I got to bid for a butterfish and a small ono. I thought 350 was 350 dollars but in the middle of the auction i learned it was 3 and 50 cents a pound. I also learned you basically cut out the middle man and save almost half the price a grocery sells at. If you need a lot of fish Id go straight to the auction

You know years ago, this was truly God's country. Wait, what? There were a few snippets of nonsense from these buyers. He also said, Tuna is so special to me, because it's the last industry that we have out here. A quick look on the internet shows Hawai'i has a plethora of industries that do well.

I wish I would have really tried an omakase somewhere in Hawaii when I went there 10 years ago. But the seafood I had there was some of the best I have ever tasted, and learned so much from a chef at a restaurant I went to about the intricacies of fish and the market.

This is the beauty of capitalism. These guys get up in the wee hours of the morning to scrutinize these big fish so that we can stop in to our local sushi bar anytime we want and get great tasting sushi at a good price.

Yea we had an even older one in Hilo, but the feds came in an declared it unsafe. After more than 100 years the feds stated that floors needed refrigeration and its open air nature was illegal.

Slightly unrelated, but I went to a cow auction last year. Really fascinating how people bid on animals. They really do their research and make sure they get every pennies worth.

100K pounds of fish/day. and this is just ONE auction. Pretty soon, the oceans will be like Gimme back my fish you greedy land dwellers! There's none left to feed my people.
