Fresh fish is also brought to Honolulu from San Francisco in the 
cold-storage rooms of the regular steamers. Until last year all of this 
fresh fish came from Victoria in the Canadian steamers, as the San 
Francisco steamers had no cold-storage rooms previous to that time. 
During 1900 the following products (not shown in the wholesale 
table) were retailed in a fresh state in Honolulu:

IMPORTS OF FISHERY PRODUCTS. 
As the domestic fisheries have not been sufficiently developed to 
supply the large home demand, great quantities of foreign goods must 
be imported to make up the deficiency. These imports consist princi- 
pally of salted, smoked, dried, and canned goods, and are very diverse, 
owing to the unusual mixture of population. The Chinese and Jap- 
anese are the principal consumers of dried abalone, cuttle-fish, oysters, 
seaweed, and shrimp; the dried and salted cod is preferred by the Portu- 
guese and Porto Ricans, while the natives are great lovers of salmon. 
An attempt should be made to introduce the abalone, as it would 
probably thrive well on the rocky reefs and sea walls. 
The raising of sugar is the principal industry of the islands, and as 
large numbers of laborers are required on the plantations, which are 
frequently not accessible to markets where fresh fishery products can 
be obtained, these must be supplied with the prepared products.
