Ingredients:

  - 500g ahi tuna steaks

  - 500g opah fillets

  - 4 lobster tails

  - 2 tablespoons soy sauce

  - 2 tablespoons honey

  - 2 cloves garlic, minced

  - 1 teaspoon grated ginger

  - 2 tablespoons sesame oil

  - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  - 1 tablespoon lime juice

  - Salt and pepper to taste

  - Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

  - Steamed white rice, to serve

Instructions:

1- Begin by preparing the marinade for the seafood. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, salt, and pepper.

2- Divide the marinade into two equal parts. Place the ahi tuna steaks and opah fillets in separate shallow dishes. Pour one portion of the marinade over the fish, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the dishes and let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to penetrate.

3- Meanwhile, prepare the lobster tails. Using kitchen shears, carefully cut along the top of each lobster tail shell. Gently lift the meat from the shells, keeping it attached at the base, and place it on top of the shells. Arrange the lobster tails on a baking sheet.

4- Brush the remaining portion of the marinade over the lobster meat, ensuring it is evenly coated. Set aside.

5- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Once hot, place the marinated ahi tuna steaks and opah fillets on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked to your desired level of doneness and has grill marks.

6- While the fish is grilling, preheat your oven's broiler. Place the prepared lobster tails under the broiler and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the lobster meat is opaque and lightly browned.

7- Once all the seafood is cooked, transfer it to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

8- Serve the Kingdom of Hawaii Hawaiian Seafood platter with steamed white rice and any remaining marinade on the side for dipping. Enjoy the delicious flavors of the Hawaiian seas!
