Hilo - Suisan Fish Market

Fishermen sell mahimahi, okakapa, tuna and other seafood to wholesalers. The dealing can prove difficult to follow as English, Japanese and Hawaiian are used - and sometimes a mixture of all three! It resembles pidgin English, a language which originated in China to aid dialogue with the people of the Pacific (it is said that the word "pidgin" comes from the way the Chinese pronounced "business").
