Squid Ink can be used as food coloring and flavoring, providing a very dark black color and a slightly salty tasting flavor to foods such as pasta or risotto. Some popular cephalopod ink dishes include spaghetti, risotto, and paella. Just adding a teaspoon of the ink goes a long way in color and taste! Fun Fact: Squid ink has many non-food applications such as in traditional medicine, writing, art, and cosmetics. 

Sustainability 

This squid ink comes from cephalopods caught in Portugal using traps and pots. It received a yellow (Good Alternative) ranking from the Monterey Seafood Watch Program.

Soft, Buttery, and Delicious 

Albacore is one of the smallest members of the tuna family. If the Albacore were to continue with their migration and growth patterns they would end up in Hawaii where they are then called Tombo Ahi. Albacore’s raw fillets are soft and fall apart easily in large flakes but firm up upon cooking. Due to its mild, buttery, fatty flavor, albacore is a perfect and unique product for sashimi! It is also a popular fish for the Japanese cooking method called tataki. 

Sustainability 

This Albacore was caught in the South Pacific Ocean with trolling lines and was rated best choice by the Monterey Seafood Watch Program. The albacore population in the Pacific is healthy, and overfishing is a low concern. Also, there’s little to no bycatch in this fishery.

“Hands Down, this is the Best Shrimp You’ll Ever Taste.” 

Known for its sweet flavor, superior texture and stunning visual appeal, Kauai Shrimp is the preferred choice of Kauai’s and Hawaii’s top chefs. The frozen Kauai shrimp delivers the same high-quality flavor, texture, and visual appeal as the fresh shrimp simply frozen for your convience! 

Kauai shrimp are raised in pristine, well-sourced, saltwater, and fed a high-quality diet with NO chemicals or antibiotics ever used. Combine all this with Kekaha’s sunny weather and West Kauai aloha, and you have simply the best shrimp you’ll ever taste. 

Sustainability. 
We source our water at both our hatchery and farm from wells that penetrate a saltwater aquifer 500ft deep into the center of the island. The resulting water is high in salinity, bacteria free and is part of the secret to the sweet flavor of Kauai shrimp. 

We cultivate our own algae to add to the ponds for the optimum environment in which the shrimp thrive. This is a chemical free product as we don’t use any antibiotics in the grow out and no sulfites in the processing of the shrimp. Much of our power is produced by a hydro plant up in the mountains behind our farm which minimizes our carbon footprint.

Furthermore, it can be thawed and re-frozen without losing any of its succulent flavors. Freezing further tenderizes the octopus. Our products are flash-frozen on-vessel. This process provides a high-yield, significantly higher than non-tenderized products. Non-tenderized octopus yields between35+50%, whereas the Gullo’s tenderized/tumbled octopus yield between 65+85%, depending on the size.

Traceable and Sustainable
Gullo Octopus are caught in zones 34 and 37 off the coast of Spain in the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea using Traps and Pots that result in nearly zero by-catch.

Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch: Good Alternative.

By far, the largest sustainability concern for Chilean Sea Bass is traceability. To ensure the end consumer that Chilean Sea Bass is caught from a responsibly managed fishery, all of RHS’ Chilean Sea Bass is from Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified. These frozen portions are a premium product and its high-fat content keeps it moist while cooking and allows for that melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Despite its name, Chilean Sea Bass is neither a bass nor from Chile. It is a Patagonian Toothfish, caught in the southern Atlantic Ocean around Antarctica. Nevertheless, Chilean Sea Bass has grown quite popular in America over the past 15 years due to its exquisite taste, fat content, and texture.

The high-fat content makes it difficult to over-cook the fish, thus dry-heat cooking methods such as grilling, broiling, and sautéing are very effective. Once cooked, the meat falls off as large, moist flakes that melt right in your mouth. Chefs and connoisseurs agree that this fish is overall (cooks and tastes) exceptional.
