Once you've booked a vacation rental, you can start planning how you'll spend your days in Hawaii—particularly what you'll eat. It should come as no surprise that Hawaii is home to several varieties of fish that you won’t find anywhere else. Whether you’re enjoying these fish as part of poke, sushi, or a delicious entrée, the following varieties are sure to provide plenty of delicious flavors.

Top 4 Fish to Eat in Hawaii

1. Ahi

Also known as bigeye or yellowfin tuna, ahi is an extremely versatile fish that you can find all over the islands. While ahi is typically served grilled, it's also popular raw and commonly used for poke and sushi.

2. Ono

Ono is a Hawaiian word meaning “good to eat” or “delicious,” so you know this is one tasty fish! It's also called wahoo and often served grilled. Its flavor is described as being similar to but more subtle than mackerel.

3. Mahimahi

Mahimahi is served around the world. Since its internationally used name originated in the Hawaiian language, it's a clear sign that this is a fish best enjoyed on the islands. The light pink flesh has a delicate flavor that local chefs have ample experience with.

4. Hapu'upu'u

Hapu'upu'u, also called the Hawaiian sea bass, is only found in the waters of Hawaii. This rare fish has a mild, delicate taste with white flesh. It's usually served steamed, and it can be more expensive than other fish varieties due to its rarity.
