Inspired by the famous Tokyo auction
United Fishing Agency created the Honolulu Fish Auction
in 1952 and continues to operate it today.
About the Honolulu fish auction
The Honolulu Fish Auction is the anchor of the Commercial Fishing Village on Pier 38 and the most sustainable fishery in the world. It is the only fresh tuna auction of its kind in the United States and the sole fish auction between Tokyo and Maine. We work with fishing boats, wholesalers, restaurants and retailers to bring the freshest local fish to market and get the best prices for our fishermen, feeding our community and fueling Hawaii’s culinary traditions.
