Ono (Hawaiian word for excllent) has that name for a reason. Fresh Ono is
absolutely outstanding! It's meaty, but yet light. It's a favorite for
pan-frying, sauteeing and grilling. Any restaurant on Maui has it on the
menu - but for a price! You can have it prepared a multitude of ways, but
you won't find it for less than $25.

I have never heard of it baked, to be honest. Maybe it was just the
preparation that didn't work for this fish. Don't discount it - yet. Try
it coated in breadcrumbs or parmesan cheese or finely chopped macadamia nuts
and pan-fried. It's da bomb!
