Wahoo
Ono, another name for wahoo, means “sweet, very good to eat” in Hawaiian. Wahoo is a close relative to the king mackerel. Built like a torpedo, they are fast swimmers. Ono feed near the surface in 30 to 50 fathoms along coastal ledges and are occasionally caught in open deep water. The vast majority of ono are caught in Hawaiian waters by trollers.
This well-known Pacific fish is deliciously cooked in a variety of ways. The fillets of the wahoo are white and firm with a flaky and delicate texture. Its flavor is mild. Wahoo is delicious saut’ed, baked, broiled, or fried. Hawaii wahoo is an excellent source of healthy, extra lean protein. It is also low in saturated fat and low in sodium.

Rainbow ‘Green’, Golden, and Ruby trout
Green trout is what the guys on the farm call the regular rainbow trout. Since they have ruby and golden as well, it is just a term they use to distinguish between the three. Our ‘green’ trout is what every sales person calls rainbow trout. Red and golden continue to be very tight. The end is not in sight yet.
