The Casual Restaurant That Serves Up Some Of The Best Seafood In Hawaii

When you call an archipelago surrounded by the Pacific Ocean home, you inevitably become spoiled by the incredible, fresh seafood options available to you. While we love splurging on fancy seafood dinners every once in a while, it is the local, little-known restaurants that serve the most mouthwatering seafood the Hawaiian Islands have to offer — especially this cozy, casual eatery that serves up some of the most delicious seafood plate lunches, poke, and more.

Nestled in a cozy house at the end of Kilauea Road on Kauai’s northern coast, the Kilauea Fish Market is an off the beaten path that’s popular amongst locals and tourists alike.

Even non-seafood lovers will enjoy a visit to the Kilauea Fish Market, which serves up a variety of Hawaiian favorites, including barbecue chicken, grass-fed beef, and even a few vegetarian options. Have you ever tried sea asparagus before?

Of course, this is a fish market and you don’t have to order lunch or dinner here. They offer a variety of seafood at great market prices that you can take home to prepare yourself or enjoy later.
