PREPARATION OF FISHERY PRODUCTS. 
With the exception of a small quantity dried for their home use, 
and, on several islands, for market, the fishermen sell everything in a 
fresh condition. The Chinese and Japanese, however, buy consider- 
able quantities of fish from the fishermen and prepare these, usually 
ina dried condition. Most of this work is done on Hawaii, the district 
of Kona being especially noted for its dried fish. 
The nehu, while one of the smallest of the many species found 
around the islands, is the one usually dried by the dealers. Large 
pieces of bagging are spread on ground and exposed to the full rays 
of the sun, and the nehu, in round condition, are laid on these to dry. 
When prepared they are placed in tubs and carried around the islands 
on carts, and are generally sold to the Chinese and Japanese for about 
25 cents per pound. 
The piha, a fish about the same size as the nehu, is frequently pre- 
pared in the same way on Hawaii.
