What Kind of Fish is Ono?

Ono, also known as Wahoo, is a fast-swimming fish found in tropical and subtropical waters worldwide, including Hawaii’s nutrient-rich oceans. The Hawaiian word “ono” means “delicious,” which perfectly describes its mild, slightly sweet flavor and firm, white flesh. Ono’s taste is often compared to cod or halibut but with a denser texture, making it ideal for grilling, baking, pan-frying, or even enjoying sushi or sashimi.

Where is Ono Found?

Ono thrives in warm waters across the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans, but it’s particularly abundant in Hawaii due to its pristine, deep-sea environments. It’s typically caught near the surface using trolling methods and is a favorite among both commercial and recreational fishers.

Nutritional Benefits of Ono Fish

Ono is not only delicious but also packed with essential nutrients:

  • High in Lean Protein: Supports muscle growth and repair.
  • Rich in Omega-3s: Promotes heart health, reduces inflammation, and supports brain function.
