Native Hawaiians called the fish Maku'u or exploding intestines

A description of walu from the Honolulu Fish Company.
Walu has a rich, buttery flavor that is luscious cooked and a delicacy raw. This exotic sashimi grade fish is also known as "white tuna" because of its rich oil content and tuna like texture. Density and high moisture retention make this a versatile fish to prepare and a valuable commodity raw. Its paper white color marks up especially well on the grill.
Sounds delicious! Except they left out the exploding intestines and ruined underpants part.
State Representative James Tokioka did some research and drafted a bill that prohibits catching, selling or even possessing walu in Hawaii.
