Picked up half a pound each of ahi poke and salmon poke from 88 Fresh Fish Market for $48 before tax. Both were excellent--the fish was fresh with a rich texture. Solid local fish market, and I'm looking forward to trying one of their sashimi platters. read more

The cases show various cuts of fish: salmon, tuna, and yellowtail. You can only order it by the pound. I ordered a pound of tuna, it was packaged with soy sauce, ginger, and ice. The tuna was delicious and fresh. There is a 3% credit card charge. read more

Parking is absolutely crazy, so keep this in mind if you are driving. This place is in historic China Town, so it might be fun to wander around anyways. This place is supposed to have the better prices, but I discovered that it was pretty compatible to other fish markets in Honolulu. Yes, everything is fresh, and yes, come early! read more

A great place for fresh fish - just know their red tuna is called "toro" then gets fattier with "chutoro" and "otoro". It's quite confusing for those of us Japanese people used to saying "Akami" for the regular red tuna and toro for just the fatty tuna. Great quality and their hamachi was quite good also. It's nice that you pay by pound but they slice it and plate it for you so it's all ready for a sushi party! There is a 1lb minimum on certain fish so plan accordingly and if you are counting on a certain type, place an order via Instagram ahead of time. read more

88 Fresh Fish Market - Hamachi - Seafood Markets Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Located in Chinatown or Honolulu, 88 fresh fish market always has good ahi, salmon and hamachi. Today, I brought 3/4 lbs of Chu Toro, the fish is fresh, but I think this Chu toro is not as fatty as I thought. With that beginning said, I guess if I buy a piece of ahi filet, not the entire piece will be fatty. I just cut it at home to enjoy. China town has some street parkings and a few municipal parkings. They also sell poke, definitely a place to check it out . read more

Payment: Cash or Card ok You come here for sashimi cuts. Got here at 11am, they only had about 1lb left of the Japanese Blue Fin Toro. Market price was $89.99/lb, price could change. And You best believe I ordered it! It was one of the reasons why I went there. Took it on the plane with me and it was delicious! Also, got 1lb of the regular Toro, which was good as well. read more

When in Chinatown Honolulu 88 fresh fish mkt is always a hit. Very fresh and high end sashimi and poke. Salmon is from N/Z , the finest and O-toro you can't go wrong. If the parking was better I'd be there every week. So good. read more

SPOILED in a great way!! Once I had their poke I can not go back to grocery or other poke places! I have tried their Kim chee taco, ahi limu, and hamachi and they were all incredible delicious! It is slightly more expensive but when you want absolutely mouth watering poke, it's a must!! I went back to the grocery poke and another poke spot but the whole time I've been thinking about 88 fish market's poke! Make sure to call in orders beforehand since they make poke all day by hand, while also making sashimi trays and taking walk up orders. By the way their sashimi blocks are the best! They have fresh and ranges of ahi to fatty otoro. They also have hamachi and they're all very melt in your mouth perfect texture! Parking is also more difficult due to it being in Oahu marketplace but it's all still worth it! read more

Unforgettable experience.... in a number of ways... The fish was amazing. Fresh and very fatty. Prices were not too ridiculous either for the quality. They also packaged the fish very nicely which included ginger, soy sauce and wasabi (would appreciate if wasabi not already dunked in the soy sauce container.) Very friendly people too. But what made this unforgettable was the roach infestation this place has. I mean yeah coming to Chinatown you kinda know what is up, but seeing a giant American roach crawling frantically across the glass display case in front of you and seeing how it kept wanting to make its way to the counter while the lady was cutting my fish and battling with the roach at the same time by stomping, smashing and scooping with no avail, I am not sure if I can go back after this whole experience. No people. It is NOT OK to do nothing about the marketplace and let roaches infest a food market like this. It's unsanitary. Don't care how good the seafood is, to not sanitize the place periodically or hire pest control for the sake of public health is unacceptable. This marketplace condition is really the worst I've seen and I've gone to different spots in Chinatown a number of times now. I've seen some roaches here and there but while I was waiting for my fish walking around, I saw at least 7 giant dead roaches on the floor, not dead naturally by pesticide poisoning or whatnot but dead by being stomped on because they're still facing down. It matters because that means there's nothing here to stop and kill them other than someone passing by to kill them by foot, most likely by accident. (Do you know how hard it is to hunt down a roach?) I would really hope to love this place. Support small local business in Chinatown. I'd love to do that. But I don't know, all I know is that I am eating something raw which has been sitting in a place infested by roaches, that was not very appetizing to me. I paid $50 for my fish so of course I ate it anyway. But probably never again. read more

Preordered 1lbs chutoro and 1/2 lbs king salmon through their instagram account. They are located in Oahu Market in bustling and gritty Chinatown. The order was already packaged in pink paper and they gave us a bag of ice to keep the fish on. Opened it later at home and was relieved to see our small platter looked like their insta pics. Better yet was that the sashimi was fresh and cuts were good. They even added some ginger and soy. They are very nice, fast response, and even called the day of as a reminder to pick up my order. A value pick for decent quality fish. read more

In the heart of Honolulu's Chinatown is a small gem serving up fresh, locally caught poke from that day from what I was informed. 88 Fish Market is within the Oahu Market in Chinatown so it might be hard to find and confusing. The market it's in has all of the characteristics of a Chinatown market: the grittiness, the smells, and the chaos. There is also no AC in this market. If you're not a fan of these types of markets and/or would rather be comfortable, I'd probably recommend going elsewhere for your poke. The fish market sells fresh fish whole or filleted but it's their small stand across from that which serves the poke. I ordered their best seller which is the [FOOD]. It was very good and you can definitely tell it was fresh! The ginger that it was served with was very good too. We did have to wait close to 20 minutes for our order to be ready though. Keep in mind that parking is quite limited as it's in Chinatown and there are no restrooms at this location nor are there sinks to just wash hands. Additionally, there aren't many places to sit except for a few small tables off to the side. read more

I'm writing this review because the fish is so fresh and the highest quality. I stopped by about a week ago and the gentleman behind the counter explained to me all about the Hamachi and O'Toro which came from Japan. He game me a sample of the Hamachi which was like butter. If I could afford the fish, I would buy some. Next time I will try the poke, but maybe get some toro. read more

The best food is always hidden in the places you least expect. I honestly wouldn't have gave them a second glance regarding the fish if it wasn't for mutual friends who vouched for their freshness. Even though I live 5 minutes away, Chinatown can be an inconvenience because of the parking situation. If you have someone in the car, you can easily idle your car on the side without any worry. I was by myself when I had to pick it up but because there was a line of cars waiting for pick ups, I didn't feel tooooo scared about getting a ticket. I just put my hazard lights on and quickly ran inside They have a good selection of fish and have some ready made! But if you don't see something you want, you can easily ask them to make it for you. I asked for 1/2 pound of Spicy Ahi and 1/2 pound of Tobiko Salmon. It did take a minute because they make everything from scratch but it was so worth the wait. Their fish is comparable to the popular poke shops on the island; super fresh and buttery and their prices are honestly reasonable! Their fish is also used to make poke bowls next door called Morning Catch if you want a quick meal. I highly recommend everyone to check this place out. They even have an IG explaining how to do platters as well read more

88 Fresh Fish Market is located in the Kekaulike Market. The stall location for 88 Fresh Fish Market is right on Kekaulike so that is where I stopped. Truthfully I was looking for a different fish monger but.... Okay, I admit! Not the cleanest place but it's Chinatown! It's a fish market! 88's fish was FRESH. My imagination would say it was so fresh that it was still wiggling.... Short of my imagination, I will say it cooked and ate like true fresh fish. Not the cheapest place but it's okay. Freshness is paramount. They cleaned it. I steamed it, and we ate it! I would do this again..... One short coming is the parking so be prepared to have someone drive you and circle the block or park in the municipal and walk! read more

THIS PLACE WAS SO GOOD!! It's a cute family own area. They have the fresh whole fish stall closer to the side walk, and if you walk inside, you'll find the sashimi side of the stall facing the inside. They also run the poke place as well next to it. We had the toro, salmon, and hamachi, and everything was so good! The uncle was very attentive and had good recs. We totally should've tried the chutoro or otoro and the other fish as well because it was so fresh and so delicious. Be ready to buy at least half a pound for some of the fish and for the higher quality fish, at least one pound because there won't be much. We ended up getting 1 pound of toro, half a pound of salmon, and half a pound of hamachi -- all for $75. We sat at a little table for two right that they brought out and set it up in front of the stall. Highly recommend anyone to add this spot to their list when they visit. There is street parking around Chinatown and also some more street parking by the nearby park as well if you are unable to find a spot in the area. read more

Located in Chinatown in Honolulu. It's a small corner booth in a crowded building full of eateries that are mainly authentic Chinese foods. The market offers a variety of fresh fish choices from Mahi to Salmon and everything in between. You can buy whole fish, fillet, sashimi and poke all by the pound. I sampled the yellowtail poke (amazing) which is hard to come by in Oahu. I'll be back for more. The Ahi Poke was just just as good. They were unfortunately sold out of the Otoro which was what I came for. I guess someone had just came and bought the entire thing. The pieces are cut directly from the fish, so your unable to by less than a pound to avoid getting a super thin slice. read more

My favorite fish market on Oahu. Good place to buy whole fish, sashimi, and poke. Always very fresh. Friendly staff. They will clean and filet any fish while you wait. I also appreciate that they keep fish on ice in sanitary environment. They were featured in Honolulu magazine as place where fine restaurants buy their fish. I believe it based on my experience. Overall, excellent fish market. read more

After being disappointed with the poke options in the Waikiki area, my boyfriend and I were looking to reset our palates with fresh fish. We really wanted to try sashimi on the island and after doing some extensive research we stumbled upon 88 Fresh. The family running the business were extremely nice and courteous. We visited this place three times during our vacation because that's how much we enjoyed their customer service and fish. Two out of our three visits we had their chutoro and hamachi sashimi which were absolutely fresh and delicious. I loved the silky smooth texture of the fish that ate like butter. We had their salmon poke as well which was pretty good, but I preferred their sashimi. The packaging of the sashimi was very thoughtful as they packed the fish with a bag of ice. A fair warning though that they serve wasabi in the soy sauce so if you're not into spice, I would ask for no wasabi. During one of our visits they didn't have any fresh fish on hand. It wasn't the biggest deal and it just exemplified their dedication in serving fresh fish. read more

-1 star because I'm a stickler for punctuality. I also have nervous bouts of anxiety when it comes to parking and driving in town. Parking and driving in Chinatown is a beast in and of itself. That being said...there is nothing I wouldn't do for sashimi. I would walk to the ends of the earth just to have melt-in-your-mouth, Japan-flown fatty tuna. Grade A. Top shelf otoro. I would walk 10,000 miles and I would walk 10,000 more. Lucky for us, 88 fresh fish market is just a drive away. Although, I did have to wait an extra 45 minutes (even with an established pick up time), the owner chatted me up and with her kind cadence, it was hard to remain annoyed. It is located in Chinatown and if you do not have a getaway driver then I don't know what you're doing. Picked up the stash and went home to enjoy my gold and silvers. read more

88 Fresh Fish Market is located in Chinatown in Oahu Market. One side of their stall is facing Kekaulike St while the rest of the sides are inside the marketplace. They offer fresh whole fish, cut up pieces of fish (filet, heads, belly, etc.), sashimi and poke. Personally, I have never had their sashimi and fresh poke but I will one day as friends here and from Canada rave about it. I did buy whole fish here a few times to have prepared at Chinese restaurants for group dinners. 88 Fresh Fish Market offers to clean it which is great. I also like how neatly they pack it for you so your car doesn't get all fishy. This most recent visit taught me that you have to come early for a larger selection. Usually 2-3 lbs of a whole fish is good for an intimate group dinner but the smallest whole fish available for Chinese style fish (ginger, green onion, soy and hot oil) was just under 5 lbs this most recent visit. They actually tried to sell me on buying a 6lb-8lb fish. Glad I went with the smaller option as it was more than enough for our group dinner. I was told smaller fish that are about 2-3 lbs taste better so I'll need to go earlier next time. Fish can get pricey and it's great that they accept Visa and MasterCard since not many people carry that much cash into Chinatown. Overall, solid place to buy fresh fish in the Chinatown area. read more

I love this place. You want a decent Sashimi or poke that doesn't break a buck, this place is a must try.

If you wanna eat at the place, they only have a few small tables, so I suggest to plan accordingly when coming here. read more

I came here the other day and ordered some Toro sashimi. For ahi sashimi there's a minimum order of 1 lb and for salmon and hamachi sashimi there's a minimum order of 1/2 lb.

I cannot begin to say that good things about this place! We stopped in first thing in the morning to grab some sashimi grade fish, so that we can make our sushi at home as a family. Every single item I saw, looked fresh and high-quality, and was cleanly packaged as well as labeled and ready to roll. The gentleman helped us to check out quickly and was exceptionally helpful and courteous.

OF COURSE I have to be the one that gives a lower rating, but when I rate a place it's based on everything. Not only the food. In this case, the fish IS fresh and it is very expensive. But that's not really the problem here. The problem is that I was subjected to every "trick" in the book. First off, let's talk about the wait. Honestly, almost 1 hour is way too long to wait for someone to cut 1 pound of fish. There were no ready made trays that I saw that were available. I wanted the chu-toro but at $80/pound and BTW they told me they were unable to cut any less than 1 pound due to the piece being too small to cut for 1/2 pound. So I had to pass - I mean, it was my first time and all I wanted to do was try the fish. I opted for the hamachi which was somehow easier to cut for 1/2 pound. Then I also got 1/2 pound of ahi. We waited and waited and waited and in the meantime was able to purchase a bunch of other stuff around that market. In fact, right across at the poke place (which they own too LOL) I got 1 pound of poke - well made and with ice in a quarter of the time. We tried to leave about 3 times and every time the lady told us it was "almost ready". The last time, we were definitely leaving but they finally took out the fish for us and started cutting. When we got the fish, there was no ice to keep it cold or anything. I hurried home and ate the fish. It was fresh, but the taste wasn't anything more than some of the other fish places I go to. I literally had a pound of fish to eat due to their inability to make any smaller portions. This place makes me want to try some other places.... For me, decent service is important too. The poke place gets a thumbs up. read more

A true hidden gem! Do not skip out on this!!!! Such amazing choices and SOOOO FRESH!!! I really wish I lived here because I would be here all the time. My husband and I were only on the island for a week and my husband was there multiple times through out our stay and honestly I wish we got it even more often. Price is good. Fish just meltssssssss in your mouth! Side tip, find/ get you some fresh Wasabi aka kizami wasabi! It's so good (burns and clears your sinues but so worth it) to eat with sashimi!! read more

When did it get so hard to find fish cake?! I used to buy from Marukai but they stopped selling it during the pandemic. I was so happy to find this place. I came here on a Sunday at about 10am and got the last container. They sell it for $12/lb. Note that they have a $20 purchase minimum for credit cards. Since it's Chinatown, parking is hard. I ended up parking at one of the municipal parking lots around the corner. It's definitely better as a two person job where one person jumps out. read more

Can't believe I haven't left a review for our go to sashimi place! We've been ordering our fresh sashimi platters here for years, their quality is the best we've had. High quality that is fatty and they allow us to customize the platter to the amount we would like. We got a small platter to share there, and a bigger one to take home. Love their chutoro and king salmon. So much fat, also prefer getting sashimi here than sushi restaurants bc restaurant quality is sometimes subpar for the price. They gave us shoyu, wasabi, cabbage, ginger and even tobikko!! Recommend 110% for your next sashimi fix. Usually order ahead on their Instagram @88freshfish If you can get your hands on the Otoro, order it! Fatty heaven. Also recommend a side of kimchee tako Service is laid back, real mom and pop shop. I do street parking and have my bf wait in the car, but when I go alone, I park in the structure around the corner. read more

Took out a platter from here and got the chutoro and hamachi that my buddy recommended. Got to admit I was skeptical at first but it definitely surpassed my expectations! The hamachi was soft and oily with a great consistency throughout and the chutoro was super tender, fatty, and fresh! Everything was about 70 bucks total! It also came with a side of tobiko which we mixed in with our bowls of rice! So ono! Will definitely bring this to a family outing or home date night again!

An amazing place in the Chinatown at Honolulu! The fish was so fresh, the staff were so kind to let us try some sashimi just showing how fresh it tasted. We got the salmon sashimi and chutoro and do not regret at all. The prices may seem steep but it's actually such a good deal compared to what I would get in DC. They even package it so well. You can request it sashimi cut and they would package it securely for you to take it home with a lot of ice in the bag. I was out for 3-4 hours and the fish was still very cold In the bag while in the car. Was a bit worried it would go bad, but didn't even need to. Would definitely come back to the area to pick some fish up again! read more
