Big Island Seafood LLC

Established in 2021 in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, Big Island Seafood LLC was founded by Jared Dufault and Wim Koki. Jared brings a lifetime of fishing experience and an extensive background in the Hawaiian seafood market. As the original founder of Kona Seafood Market LLC, Jared decided to sell that business to embark on a new venture with Wim Koki, a Big Island native with deep ties to the local community. Together, they created Big Island Seafood LLC, a company deeply committed to serving its community and supporting local fishermen.

Big Island Seafood LLC sources the majority of its fish from Hawaiian waters, prioritizing partnerships with small, local fishing operations across the Hawaiian Islands, especially from the Big Island. While some species, like salmon, must be sourced from outside Hawaii, the focus remains on promoting local, sustainable fishing practices. Additionally, Big Island Seafood LLC collaborates with cutting-edge fish farming operations, including Big Island Abalone and Blue Ocean Mariculture, further supporting Hawaii's innovative seafood industry.

Jared and Wim's combined experience in dining, seafood market operations, and their strong community connections uniquely position Big Island Seafood LLC as the premier choice for locally-sourced Hawaiian fish. Their dedication to giving back to the community and maintaining sustainable practices ensures that every purchase supports Hawaii's fishermen and its local economy.
