Fresh whole wild-caught opakapaka, also known as Hawaiian pink snapper (Pristipomoides filamentosus). This premium Hawaiian fish features clear, light pink flesh with a delicate flavor and firm texture. Opakapaka range in size from 1 to 18 pounds and are harvested exclusively with vertical hook-and-line gear from depths between 180 and 600 feet in Hawaiian waters.

Opakapaka is well suited for a wide variety of preparations including sashimi, baking, steaming, poaching, sautéing, and soup. Smaller whole fish are traditionally prepared by steaming or baking. Fish caught during winter months tend to have higher fat content, yielding the best sashimi.

Opakapaka is an excellent source of extra-lean protein, low in saturated fat and sodium. It is rich in niacin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, phosphorus, and selenium, and provides approximately 275 mg of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) per 4-ounce serving. Sold by the pound.
