Order Hawaii’s Funny Sounding Fish While on Hawaii Vacation

http://www.hawaii-aloha.com/ – On just about any restaurant menu in Hawaii, the seafood section will display the names of fish that will be unfamiliar to you. Some people assume the names are simply local translations of perch, mackerel or cod. Nope. They are the true names of fish caught in Hawaiian waters, served locally and even exported to restaurants near you – Captured Live on Ustream at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/aloha-bruce-live.

    Great post Bruce. Mahimahi is also known as el dorado. Ahi means “fire” in Hawaiian. It is said that the fish gets its name from the old handlining method of fishing. Hook up to a 100+ lb. ahi on a handline and you’ll know why its given that name. Ono is known as wahoo on the mainland.
