Aloha Fish Company quietly opened Monday at oneC1TY and promptly turned West Nashville into a mini Hawaiian fish market. Tucked into a bright shipping container next to Sand Bar, the compact spot packs in a retail fish counter, a casual raw bar, and a to-go window slinging Pacific-fresh seafood, poke bowls, and island-style sweets.
The market lists its address as 3 City Ave, Suite 200, and posts hours and ordering details on its website. Pick-up and delivery are available for scheduled weekly shipments of fresh fish, so you can plan your sashimi nights in advance. According to the Aloha Fish Company site, the shop is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., with shortened Sunday hours. Customers can preorder larger quantities and set up subscriptions or deliveries for special orders.
From Pandemic Pop-Up To Permanent Market
Founder Jenn Cheung Cline, who grew up in Hawaiʻi, started Aloha Fish Company in peak pandemic uncertainty after a cousin on Oʻahu sent an initial 80-pound shipment of fish that quickly snowballed into neighborhood orders. What began as a one-off delivery turned into a growing side hustle that spread through farmers' markets, pop-ups, and social media. Eventually, Jenn and her husband, Jerry, a chef who has worked for the Tennessee Titans, moved the operation into the oneC1TY container village, according to Nashville Lifestyles.
Market Case, Poke Bowls And Weekly Sell-Outs
Inside the container, a rotating cold case and grab-and-go lineup keep things feeling more Honolulu than West End. The menu features Hawaiian Ahi and Ora King salmon poke bowls, premium sashimi platters, and shutome (swordfish) poke, along with hot plates like Jerry’s gumbo and a Kalua pork plate. Retail shelves and the weekly pop-up menu add musubi, butter mochi, and island pantry staples to the mix, with many dishes changing weekly and sticking around only until they sell out, according to Aloha Fish Company.
DIY Kits, Classes And Home-Cook Friendly Cuts
The Clines are leaning hard into helping home cooks feel comfortable working with high-quality seafood. Aloha Fish Company offers DIY kits, recipes, and occasional sushi-making and oyster-shucking classes, while sourcing from responsible fisheries. “We don’t sell to restaurants,” Jenn told Nashville Lifestyles, emphasizing that their focus is on getting island flavors directly into the hands of Nashville diners.
oneC1TY has spotlighted the fish market as part of its C1TYBLOX container village, and Aloha Fish Company now occupies the space that previously housed plant-based restaurant Avo. The location puts the Clines in the center of a built-in crowd of nearby apartments, offices, and campus events, which should only boost the visibility of their Hawaiian-style seafood hub, according to oneC1TY.
