Awa, milk-fish (Chanos chanos). The awa referred to here is the awa kalamoho, a large fish of the color and meat of the anae (sea mullet), only it is much larger in size, some being as long as six feet, and easily ten inches thick at the largest part. It is shaped very much like the salmon. The awa is a hard fighter. ↑
