March 11, 2017 Holoholo

I took the kids fishing at the Heeia Fishpond this past Saturday. I really like the presentation the staff members give - history of the fishpond, how the ancient practices have transformed into modern operations, and more on what we can learn from this unique structure that used to feed tens of thousands of Hawaiians. We all caught fish - snapper, flagtail, a puffer and my lizardfish-mangrove seed combo! There were a few papio caught, but I didn't see any kaku. And with the wall repaired, the crowd was able to spread out along the entire length - and made for easier fishing. We'll be back!!! I'll make a separate post with pictures from La's camera shortly.

Super Sized Aholehole

We were in town on Friday night. Saw this info wall in the Kakaako area. Described one of the fish typically taken for subsistence from simpler times. And the sequence shows the family clowns in a good mood (maybe because they just ate some damn good ramen - next post)!

Local Fish and Crabs Not from Around Here

I stopped off at Pacific Market in Waipahu to pick up a cutting board. They had a bunch of local fish for sale (but they weren't really fresh...) They also had blue crabs for sale - and most were still alive! Hmmmmmmm.....
