MENPACHI Fishline Hawaii

Menpachi is a big eyed red reef fish that is a spearsman's favorite.  The Hawaiian name for this soldier fish is 'u'u which is mostly  found in groups near underwater caves.  The name is Japanese.  This fish was a prize catch for local Japanese workers in the islands plantation days who thought the taste and color reminded them of  the famous "carp" or  'koi'  from  back home in Japan.

Fishline Hawaii are T-shirts expertly printed in Hawaii on Hanes T-shirts for friends and family.   Some of these designs go back 40 years ago in the golden age of a relaxed layed back life style.     The first fishing designs series is called  " The Nat Fish Six "

To catch these Hawaiian fish, you will need a spear or a rod & reel plus a lot of skill with a little bit of luck.   All of these fish are good eating.  The excitement to catch a fish brings the prize satisfaction of the catch and the happiness of tasty  local food dishes.
