The tour begins with viewing the fishing vessels dockside and a discussion of how the fish are harvested and handled to preserve quality and safety. The daily life on a fishing vessel is described. On the auction floor, you will learn about how the fish are inspected to insure seafood safety and how a fish auction works.
You have the opportunity to see the variety of fish landed and learn something about fish quality, seafood & health and seafood safety. In summary, you will find out what is done to manage Hawaii’s fisheries and what makes Hawaii Seafood the “best in class” in terms of quality, safety and sustainability.
