Due to the Labor Day Holiday, we are sending our weekly newsletter a couple days early so you can plan your holiday meal and have it arrive in time.

Summer certainly went by in a hurry with Labor Day is just 10 days away. It is raining (again) in the Pacific Northwest. My father is of the opinion that you can't catch fish when the sun is out. Thank goodness this doesn't apply to Hawai'i! The good news is we are getting close to fall Coho & Chinook Salmon. The run is starting to trickle in, with the peak in early October. More good news is coming with the opening of the Area 7 Dungeness Crab Season in Washington next month. We will finally have Whole Cooked Crab available! [TOP]

Seafood & Product News

Hawaiian Fish - The next 30-45 Days will see many of the Open Ocean fisheries slow down and the Bottom Fishery re-open. We are in good shape on most items except Opah. Some larger Opah orders will take a week to 10 days to fill.

Alaska Fish - Alaska fall Coho & King Salmon fisheries are coming on line now. Many of the Chum & Pink Salmon fishermen are re-rigging for Pacific Halibut, with that Season expected to continue until mid November. The Sockeye Salmon run is still running with a few weeks left.

Seafood Accessories - We have added some new items! We now have Chopsticks, Seashell Serving Dishes, Bamboo Disposable Cutlery & those cute little Parisol & Palm Tree Picks. We also have a heck of a price on Bamboo Skewers!

NOH Hawaiian Seasonings - After just a couple weeks, we have identified some big sellers in the Hawaiian Seasoning department. Char Siu (Chineses BBQ) Seasoning has been very popular. Sold out with more on the way! Adobo Seasoning has also been popular. One of our non-seafood favorites is Hawaiian Spicey Chicken Seasoning. Haupia (Hawaiian Coconut Pudding) has also sold out with more on the way. Chinese Stir Fry, Hawaiian Curry, and Vinha D'alhos are also in the top 10. Frankly, they all taste great and are quite inexpensive!

Oils of Aloha - The most popular Macadamia Oils to date are Kauai Herb, Pele's Fire & Hawaiian Gold. We are already getting re-orders for the new 32oz Family Size! In our cooking we have replaced Olive Oil with Macadamia Oil in 90% of our cooking. [TOP]
