About 'Opelu

'Opelu, or mackerel scad,  is important in Hawaii as both a food fish and as live bait for big gamefish like ahi, mahi-mahi, and marlin. These pretty fish are common when we dive offshore, with an average size around 10" and up to about 20", weighing in at about 1/3 lb. They spawn from March through August, peaking May–July. Juveniles remain pelagic until about 6–7" when they move inshore to shelf habitats during the summer.

Ubiquitous on the Hawaiian reef, schools of 'opelu are emblematic of our weekly dives. Their pretty blue-purple sides streaked with yellow chaotically flash everywhere when you are diving with them - welcome to the reef!

US Shipping: The good news – shipping for all US orders over $100 is free!  Otherwise our standard shipping rates are $9.99 anywhere in the US (8.99 in Hawaii).  If you are fortunate enough to live in Hawaii, we are happy to arrange a pick up.

International shipments: Please be patient while your purchase makes its way to you, we are a long way from most places. In fact, Hawaii is the most remote place from any other land mass in the world! Know that we will diligently get your order out as soon as we can, but that even with the best of timing, it may still take a few weeks to arrive. If you would like it sent somewhere not in our shipping list, please contact us or email at hello@alohikai.com and we’ll look into it for you.

Timing: ‘Alohi Kai jewelry is shipped from Hawaii, and some jewelry will be made to order which takes a bit of time. If we have it in stock, we’ll ship it out immediately. For silver pieces made to order, allow 1-3 days to ship; vermeil can take up to an additional 2-3 weeks to finish.  If you have a deadline earlier than this, send us a note to be sure – we may have one we can ship immediately. We generally use priority mail (5-7 days for shipping), but please allow 2-3 weeks delivery.

Our shipping is generally done via USPS First Class mail, however if you need something faster, and we have it in stock, we can send it priority mail (3-5 days from ship date), please email us at hello@alohikai.com to arrange it.
