Fish caught during the winter months seem to have a higher fat content than those caught in the summer, and Opakapaka yields the best sashimi during the winter season. The smaller-sized fish harvested off the main Hawaiian Islands are directed toward the ethnic restaurant and household retail markets in Hawaii, where opakapaka is often prepared by steaming or baking fish with the head on. In these markets, opakapaka is also used to make sashimi and fish head soup.
Creamy, Delicate, Complex, Earthy
