HRS §328-50
Selling fish caught on commercial fishing boats
This section lets commercial fishing boats sell fish right when they return to port if the fish were chilled right after being caught. Any fish not sold must be kept in cold storage and can be sold later as long as they are not spoiled or unsafe to eat.
The statute, as written — Fishing on commercial fishing vessels
Anything in the statute or rules and regulations to the contrary notwithstanding, fish caught and immediately placed on ice or otherwise adequately chilled on commercial fishing vessels may be sold upon their return to port. Any fish remaining unsold shall be placed in cold storage and may be later sold at any time thereafter as long as the fish are not spoiled and unfit for human consumption.
