Fresh Fish,
From Hawaii Waters
Fresh Island Fish supplies locally caught seafood to restaurants, markets, and food service businesses across Hawaii. We've been doing this since 1977 — fishing, processing, and delivering, all here in Hawaii.

Why It Matters
Locally Caught Fish Is Part of What Makes Hawaii, Hawaii
Fresh Island Fish has been part of the supply chain that keeps local seafood on Hawaii tables for nearly 50 years. We try to play that role with care — not just as a business, but as a company that's genuinely invested in the fishing community and the people it feeds.
For Restaurants and Buyers:
Consistent supply and predictable pricing help you plan your menu and your business with confidence.
For Vessel Owners and Crews:
A stable, fair market for the catch supports livelihoods and makes commercial fishing a more viable long-term path.
For Our Community:
Keeping locally caught fish available and accessible in Hawaii — that's a commitment we've held for nearly five decades and intend to keep.
How We Work
Our Operation, End to End
Fresh Island Fish handles fishing, processing, and distribution under one roof. Here's a plain look at how each piece fits together.
Vessel Ownership
We own and operate commercial longline fishing vessels in Hawaii waters — which means we're involved in sourcing directly, from the moment the fish is caught.
Processing at Pier 38
Our Pier 38 facility processes fish the same day it's landed. It handles significant volume, and it's built to do so consistently — meeting the demands of Hawaii's restaurants and food service businesses day in and day out.
Connected Operations
Fishing, processing, and distribution all happen within Fresh Island Fish. That continuity supports consistency — for quality, for traceability, and for the reliability our customers depend on.
What We Carry
Fresh, locally caught ahi, mahimahi, ono, marlin, bottomfish, and more. Processed same-day and available to restaurants and food service businesses across the islands.
