Honolulu Fish Auction

The United Fishing Agency's fish auction is the only tuna auction of its kind in the United States. Located dockside on the Pier 38 Fishing Village, the auction still operates in the same general manner it did when it started over 50 years ago.

The fish are sold locally, or flown to the outer islands, the U.S. mainland, with some exported to Japan, Canada and Europe. Although more than 80% of the seafood in the U.S. market today is imported, Hawaii seafood companies and their discriminating customers continue to place a premium on genuine Hawaii Seafood.

The United Fishing Agency system allows for the efficient sale of the range of fish species, size and quality to suit each special market niche. There is very little bycatch (fishery waste) because Hawaii fishermen keep what they catch and all fish can find a market use.
