Hi Sheila, I know what you mean about good food here! Maybe too good. Since Ono are a true game fish, they are very difficult to photograph. The only photos I have seen are ones by fisherman that jump into the deep blue off of fishing boats once the Ono are hooked…I have emailed you a couple of these type of photos…really good eating and nice to look at! jerry

@ Jerry – I think what gets me in Hawaii is that I start the mornings in vacation mode. So, that’s usually a pastry or pancakes with mac nuts and coconut syrup. It takes a whole lot of outdoor time to work that off.

I didn’t know that Ono is a pretty fish. Do you have any photos from your dives around Hawaii?

Hi Sheila, Ono is not only a beautiful fish in the water, It is Ono (delicious!) The only problem is that the food can be too good to you. That is why everybody in Hawaii has to do a lot of things outdoors… just .to stay in shape! regards and Hello to Andy!….jerry

@ Janice – I think you might be onto something there with your theory that food tastes better because of the surroundings. And your strategy of eating your way around the island is a strategy we adopted on our first visit. The only problem is that the calories follow us.

@ Kani onolicious is a good one, for sure!

Sheila-I am convinced that the surroundings in Hawaii add to the taste of the food. Even a simple plate lunch tastes better there.
Also, Hawaii food is unique in the way it combines so many cultures, flavors, etc. My favorite thing to do on vacation is “eat my way” around the island:=)
