    Recommended by locals. We ate here three times during our one week trip on Maui. My husband and I could not get enough of the fish tacos! Our only complaint is they close at 7 pm and we missed dinner one night. We would have loved to have eaten here more!

    Tuesday, August 19. Lunch. We had been here since Saturday and did not have many successes on restaurants, including strong recos from fellow Yelpers. However, this place is a must visit! Everything, and it mean everything here was great. Fish tacos, Shrimp tacos, kalua pork tacos, calamari steak strips, ahi tuna burger, tako poki, and yes,even the French fries! All delicious and generous portions. Reasonable prices. The place does not look like much from the outside. It is nestled in a residential area at the bow end of several shops and restaurants. When you enter, it looks more like a fish market than a restaurant. Limited seating. Wooden bar stools along the perimeter of the space and table seating outside. But don't miss this opportunity if you are out here. PS-they don't take American Express but VISA is ok.

    My wife and I totally lucked out. We were looking for Ono Tacos and it was nowhere to be found. We ended up here and the fish tacos are amazing. Especially the fried ones. The chips were great too! Can't wait to come back to Maui and eat here again.

    Wanted to be able to rate this place higher, however the service was terrible. We attempted to buy ahi poke four times throughout our 10 day stay and they were "sold out" each time. Normally wouldn't down rate for this, but the male employee at the fish case told us to "come back at 3", we'd follow his instruction only for him to tell us "try again in an hour" upon our return (Monday 5/18). After giving up and opting for some chowder instead, the female employee working the other side of the market acknowledged that they wouldn't be making any ahi poke that day.... Not sure why the message was inconsistent between employees, but I don't appreciate being toyed with and having our time wasted. Moral of the story, call beforehand if you want poke. Other than that, the food we did have was good!

    Vacationing in Lahaina and locals told us about this great place. It's a small store selling fresh seafood and fresh food. It was so freaking good we went there three times in one day. Staying at the Hyatt in Lahaina and you couldn't compare the awesomeness of this little joint. All in one day we ordered fish tacos, ceviche, fresh oysters, salad and poki!!! Because they get so busy on our last order we decided to bring the food at a local park facing the beach nearby. That was amazing. What else could you want in paradise?

    Delicious gem on a strip mall in west Maui. They sell fresh fish to take home or lunch that is delicious and can be eaten at one of the small table or take out. I ordered the BLT which is my go to lunch sandwich and it was amazing! Crispy and copious amounts of bacon and a fresh herb baked bun were the highlights. We're here five more days and I believe I will be eating at this restaurant at least two more times...

  • Jessica T.

    This place is very unassuming but serves some of the best fish on Maui. If you don't mind the relaxed style, this place is simply awesome!! I had the the fish of the day burrito (mahi mahi) and it was delicious. They aren't stingy with the fish here and at around $11 it was very reasonably priced. My partner had the seared ahi tuna sandwich which was equally as good. Check it out if you want a casual lunch or dinner in west Maui!

  • Travis H.

    Picked up to go from the hotel, hurry they close at 7pm. Got Mahi Mahi, pork with rice and macaroni, green salad. Good local food and far better than anything you will find in a hotel. Need to go back to try there poke. Pork was well cooked and not to heavy.

  • Allie H.

    My mom and I visited the fish market a week and a half ago and honestly if we could rate it 0 stars we would. We didn't even get to try the food so this is purely on the service. We ordered in between two large orders and waited about a half hour and watched as people after us in line left with their food. I went and checked to see what was going on and apparently our order got lost. So they started it again. After an hour of waiting we checked again and they had lost our order ANOTHER time. At that point we asked for our money back and for the tip we had given them back. They proceeded to have truly bad attitudes and threw the money at us. No "I'm so sorry" and no compensation for the 1+ hour we waited. Again this is purely on service but we won't ever try them again based off terrible attitudes.

    Best tacos I've ever had . We go here all the time . You won't be disappointed ever. Gets real busy around lunch time. I recommend this place. Always fresh food.

  • Melissa H.

    ABSOLUTELY loved it! Very first place we ate at when we landed in Maui! Had the shrimp fajita taco and it was AMAZING. Also ordered the pork taco meal and it too, was AMAZING! No complaints at all. Must try!

  • Mario G.

    Ordered baja fish taco and ahi sandwich. Ahi was seared to perfection but the taco was full of more flavor by far. Next time, 2 tacos should do.

    (4)

  • Danette W.

    OMG. The Baja fish tacos are to die for. I wanted to try them based on a picture I saw of them on yelp. I was not let down. Return customer here.

    (5)

  • Maureen C.

    Even though it's called a fish "market", the store front is actually very small. However, their food is very fresh and I loved my ahi poke! It's a ways from the main strip of Front Street, but definitely worth it if you love fish. The prices are pretty affordable too and good for when you're not extremely hungry but still want some quality food unique to Hawaiian markets.

    (3)

  • Armin B.

    The Ahi Tuna Sandwich was awesome - 5 well deserved stars. House made chips and cole slaw on the side were really good as well. I'd love to try one of the other fresh fish dishes before the end of our vacation but I fear the Ahi Steak Sandwich is just too good to not order it again.

    (5)

  • Melanie H.

    Whenever I come back to Maui from the Mainland the first thing I do is go to the Fish Market and get the seared ahi sandwich. I cannot tell you how ridiculously perfect it is.

    (5)

  • Tiffany C.

    Came here for dinner. Got the fish tacos, coconut shrimp, oyster shooters and ahi tuna sashimi. Everything was fresh and delicious. Fish tacos and oyster shooters were a little spicy (wasabi I think) but still so perfect. The ahi sashimi wasn't on the menu, but I showed them a Yelp picture and they were able to whip it right up. The coconut shrimp was perfectly sweet and the accompanying fries were very well seasoned.

  • William T.

    Recommended by a family member, had their traditional poke, so good and fresh. Certainly worth coming back.

    (5)

  • Jonathan G.

    Excellent!!! This is the best place in the Kaanapali area to buy fresh fish!!! The selection depends on what has come off the boats that day ... If your not in the mood to take fish home and do the cooking yourself they also have an awesome selection of lunch items prepared with that day's catch. The fish of the day tacos are my Fav! I also recommend the fresh Poke made to order.

    (5)

  • Brian F.

    I had a couple of fish tacos - great flavour and the fish was perfectly cooked. They were a bit messy to eat, but well worth the effort. Check it out if you're in the area.

    (4)

  • Sadie S.

    Fresh fish. Did I mention fresh! We had the Baja and fajita fish tacos and both were yummy. Probably the best I ever had! Maybe a little too much sauce but that's because I'm a health nut and like to cut calories. We also got mild and medium poke to go. I planned on saving some for my sister but I couldn't resist eating it all. My friend takes it with him for his flights back to the mainland. Definitely beats airline food.

    (5)

  • Candi D.

    Great fish. Wouldn't miss it. So fresh it doesn't even smell fishy. Casual, reasonable expense, good service. Baja tacos, poke with hot sauce and fish ceviche!,, great!

  • Sunny T.

    All I can say is this place serves the best fish burger I've ever tasted~ Must get the Ono Burger

  • a w.

    Everything was delicious and fresh, service was quick and pleasant! Even my parents, who are picky eaters enjoyed themselves.

  • Deborah R.

    My boyfriend had the Ahi burger and I had the crab cake burger (sandwich?) It was pretty good. The Ahi burger was better, but I think if I had had the crab cakes as the platter instead of the burger, it would have improved the crab cake flavors - I think he stuff put in the burger took away from how good the crab cakes were. We also had the shrimp ceviche was pretty good though it was my first time ever having it so I can't compare it to Shrimp Ceviches around the world. We went back and had the catch of the day plate, and it was EXCELLENT, I am changing my review from 4 stars to 5 :)

    (5)

  • Nicholas D.

    The food is tasty, but the portions are weak compared to the price. Fish tacos have great flavor and their catch of the day is great with the mango salsa.

    (3)

  • Pete C.

    Wow! I tried the Catch of the Day Burrito and it was by far the best I've ever had! Very tasty! I came here with a friend who lives here and she said they catch all their fish daily and prepare it fresh. This is a must try if you're on the island! It is kinda small with limited seating, but we'll worth any challenges finding a space to sit, if they're busy.

    (5)

  • Helen M.

    Delicious ahi sandwich - the sautéed onions really made it! Yum! The Cole slaw was really good too, check this place out!

    (4)

  • Mike S.

    Awesome fresh fish to pick from . Incredible mix to order poke. Cooked food is really tasty as well. We love coming here for their fresh fish and poke. When you want to grill your own, come here.

    (5)

  • P B.

    Had the fish tacos. We have been trying several places for fish tacos this trip, and this one is ok. Price was in line with the other places. Seating was a little to tight. Not the cleanest place we ate, but acceptable.

    (3)

  • Sam L.

    A fish market that also serves great sandwiches and tacos. The staff can be a little spacey, but the food makes it worth it. The proteins are super fresh and sandwiches come with a great onion roll. The salads also have a great tangy vinaigrette. Great prices as well.

    (4)

  • Krista B.

    This place is a gem! Not very expensive and the fish is super fresh with a variety of preparations.

    (5)

  • Ling L.

    There are two separate counters for food here. One for fresh meat an another for cooked food 5 stars for the poke. They mix in the sauce when you order it. Really fresh tuna. It was 16.99 a pound and i bought 1/4 pound. I think half pound would have been a perfect lunch Fish and chips- 3 stars. I'm use to my fish with a light batter. The Panko batter was thick which overpowers the mahi mahi. This is a waste of mahi :/ Fries appear to be precut and frozen.

    (4)

  • Monique H.

    Fish tacos are amazing!!! Kaluah pork burrito was tasty too but the fish tacos were the star.

    (5)

  • Dustin T.

    The Fish Market was worthy of the hype. We wanted something fast and inexpensive but fresh and quality. If you're ever looking looking for a place that fits that bill and you're near Lahaina or Ka anapali, go hit Fish Market before 7 (closes kinda early). We had the fish tacos, with fresh Ulua (never tried Ulua before but it was better than Mahi Mahi). We also had the ahi tuna melt sandwich, which was tasty (they definitely do not skimp on fish). And finally I had to get some of the freshly made ahi Poke salad. You can choose hot, medium, or mild. Regardless of how spicy you want it, it was the best Poke I've ever had. Very fresh!! We'll be coming back a few times this week...

    (5)

  • Rene G.

    I almost didn't notice this place, as it is located in a little strip mall, but I'm glad my husband suggested it. We only got one item on the menu, the Baja fish tacos and man were they good! This place uses really fresh fish, and it definitely shines. The mahi mahi was perfect, and the tacos came with a really tasty cream sauce and fresh pico de gallo. Yum! A great find!

    (5)

  • Bill M.

    The Fish Market was the only place we ate at multiple (three) times on our trip to Maui. Incredibly casual (anything more than sandals and tank tops and you'll feel a bit out of place) without an ounce of pretentiousness. Just great, fresh fish/seafood at reasonable prices compared elsewhere. The dishes my wife and I tried were the Ahi plate (traditional Hawaiian style served with sticky rice and mac salad), lightly breaded Mahi-Mahi, Pork Tacos, Fajita shrimp tacos. All excellent (and don't forget the hot sauce). Note, however, it's really more of a take-out place with limited tables. Forget Mama's. For a third the price the food is better here....

    (5)

  • Vivek P.

    Had the Ahi sandwich. The quality of the Ahi was fantastic, but the rest of the sandwich flavors with the caramelized onions and wasabi mayo didn't really come together for me. I'd try a taco or maybe just poke next time.

    (4)

  • Terrence R.

    Fantastic fresh local fish, fit for families and foodies alike! This small market and restaurant serves up some fantastic fresh fish. From fish (and shrimp) tacos to seared Ahi, everything is wonderful! My teen aged kids begged to go back again, and again. Order ahead for takeout... and enjoy!!!

    (5)

  • Sandra M.

    Foodie family loves this fish market! Hidden gem! Generous portions and the good has a lot of flavor. During this visit we had lunch there 3 times! Must tries are their specials- mac crusted fish with mango salsa! Coconut shrimp was very good and portion was generous. The seared ahi sandwich was seared to perfection!

    (5)

  • Evelyn T.

    Oh, it's so good. Recommended by a local when asked about where to get poke. Their poke was really fresh, I would recommend it. They have mild, medium, and spicy to choose from. I also tried the fish tacos, which were not as good - I wouldn't order them again or recommend them. They were just okay and underwhelming. On the other hand, the mahi mahi burrito was great. Fresh fish and a good size. There are not many seats here, so to-go ordering may be the best option. 4 stars for the poke and mahi mahi burrito.

    (4)

  • Javi G.

    Excellent mahi mahi fish sticks and tuna sandwich! Opens at 11 and it gets packed. Be there early.

    (5)

  • Coleen L.

    AWESOME Food!! The Baja Fish Taco was just plain excellent! My son had Coconut Shrimp plate and it was scrumptious...

    (5)

  • Hello K.

    Love their food from fish taco to fish and shrimp dishes. My bf got a peel and eat shrimp dish . It was so flavorful. Kind of reminded me of a at home Indian shrimp dish I had a very long long time ago. It wasnt curry or anything just lots of flavor. The deep fry fish taco was so moist and crispy and pretty decent amount of fish too. I also had a macadamia crusted fish dish. So moist I love it! Must try when your in Maui .

    (5)

  • Darrin K.

    Their seared ahi steak sandwich is worthy of the hype, satisfying both in quality and quantity. The caramelized onions and wasabi aioli add the perfect compliment to a generous slab of fresh ahi. A must-have item every time I visit Maui.

    (5)

  • Jin S.

    Hidden gem of the fish market is their $1 oyster shooters - fresh oysters swimming in spicy horseradish coctail sauce. Had 8 when i went there :) The catch of the day tacos were also very good. They're pretty big so 2 is more than enough for lunch if you get a soup or other sides. Would return every time I'm in the region.

  • Kathryn L.

    Narrow along-the-wall dine-in counters with tall wooden bench stools, small fresh fish counter...you get that "neighborhood local fish shop" feel walking in. However, FMM's low-key & relaxed vibe seems to contradict the fresh & bold flavors they're dishing. We did the lobster bisque, ahi burgers, and a couple hot dogs for the kids. Lobster bisque is good, a bit too thick and salty for me, but locals swear by it. The burgers - ground & seasoned ahi with caramelized onions & veg on an onion bun and served w/ Maui onion chips - were very good, especially w/ the sweet wasabi aioli. Next time I'll try the ahi sandwhich ($13.99) instead, as that's seared ahi steak vs. ground ahi. I have to say they rip you for the hot dogs, which are large but taste like the ballpark brand and charge $6.99 for them. Of course, you don't order hot dogs @ seafood joints, but do my toddlers care? No. 4 stars for their delightful poke! Made to order with requested heat level...tossed with Maui sweet onions, scallions, chilies, and glistening w/ sesame oil...I started tasting it w/ my little wooden chopsticks and before I knew it, my little container was sadly empty. I only ordered 1/2lb to taste, but next time I'll go with the full pound, even @ $16.99/lb.

    I don't know that I could say anything bad. In a one week vacation, we ate here twice. It's nice because it's a little farther away than some tourist would go, but with the great reviews it can get busy. It's in a little strip mall with limited parking and if you want to eat in there aren't too many inside or outside tables. The food was amazing. Everything was fresh and reasonably priced. I think it's safe to say that I am obsessed with their Baja fish tacos. I took down 3 of them for dinner and probably could have done 2 more. Don't be fooled though, the fish is big, and the flavors were great. I can't wait to come back to Maui and this will be my first stop.

    (5)

  • Greg B.

    It's a small place in a strip mall that doesn't look like much...but the food was delicious. We went back two days in a row. The two items my whole family loves are the Baja fish tacos, and the crab cakes. Possibly the best crab cake we've ever had.

    (5)

  • Alan A.

    My fiancee and I came here based on the many great reviews. Unfortunately, we were not impressed with the taste of the two seafood items that we had ordered here. There wasn't too much taste to the Ono Burger and Fish & Chips. The batter on the fish was not good, and the fries were nasty. I ended up tossing the fries away. Based on our experience with the food, we will not be going back there again

    (2)

  • April S.

    The BEST fish tacos of my life, their fajita fish tacos are awesome. I kept craving this place the whole time we were in Maui and when we came back to this island it was the first place we went! My son loved the shrimp tacos but I would challenge any fish taco in Maui to the fajita fish taco. This is a tiny little place and they can get very busy but if is well worth the wait. Very sweet staff as well. We went out to higher end restaurants sometimes bc we wanted the atmosphere/ romance but the food was a let down. This little place is far better than the over priced restaurants on the island.

    (5)

  • Tony Z.

    The fish market is a MUST if you are staying in the area. The poke and Baja fish tacos are amazing. You also can't go wrong with the ahi sandwich or fish of the day specials. Everything they serve is fresh and made to order. The poke is pricey but so worth it if you like Ahi!

    (5)

  • Howard E.

    It was our first meal in Maui. We were hungry and tired after a long day of travel. We were really trying to go to Oyazuya & Deli Honokowai but it was closed since it was Sunday. So we thought we'd give The Fish Market Maui a try because of the 4 star Yelp rating based on 682 ratings and because there was a crowd. My 2 star rating is based on the tacos. Since the sign said "Maui's Best" tacos we ordered one Baja, one fish, one Kalua pork taco and Mac salad. The service was great. Despite the crowd our tacos and Mac salad came out fairly quickly. However the tacos ....let's just say I have had better. So the bar was high. The batter on the Baja was too heavy and not enough fish; the fish taco was short on fish as was the Kalua pork.

    (2)

  • April C.

    Best Baja fish taco's in Maui, they have really fresh fish, which is actually hard to come by in Maui surprisingly! Kids meal is reasonably priced & good portions! The atmosphere is nothing fancy, but your paying for good quality food which is way better! A little pricey but def worth it!

    (5)

  • Jessica S.

    Price Point averages from $11 to $17 but the food is fresh and delicious today we had the coconut macadamia crusted mahi mahi + seared ahi plate w rice& macaroni salad ... Delicious! Hubby had the mango glazed mahi mahi fish plate said it was cooked well fresh but not fond of the dressing & mango glaze topping. Macaroni salad was delicious of all the places we ate on the island so far. Will def be back to try other plates like the Ono burger sounded good.

    (5)

  • Alex P.

    I typically do not like seafood but this place change my opinion of it. This place is actually decently small and can be easily missed. The Fish Market Maui is, as the name implies, a fish market but they also serve food as well. I thought it was pretty cool that the owner catches the fish that he sells and serves the in the morning before they open. I ordered the seared ahi which includes rice and mac salad, and although is seems like a pretty basic meal the fish was fresh and perfectly seared and the mac salad was probably the best I had during my stay in Maui. I wish I had the opportunity to eat here a second time but I know where I going when I come back to Maui.

    (5)

  • Ivona R.

    Pretty good. I was surprisingly unimpressed with to be ago sandwich. I think the onions and aoli are too sweet and the sandwich all together lacks flavor. The Baja fish tacos, however are great. The crispness of the fish, freshness of the tomatoes, and coolness of the cream sauce go well together. The prices are very reasonable too.

    (4)

  • linda p.

    Amazing fish tacis. Perfect and very reasonable. Couldnt find a place in wailea even close to this place . Few tables outside to sit at. Enjoy!

    (5)

  • Chelsea W.

    Hands down, the best fish tacos I've ever had. Portion size is great too. I've had the grilled fish taco, the kahlua pork taco, and the Baja fish taco. Great prices too!

    (5)

  • Brad P.

    Badic food done right. Great fresh fish, and not too expensive, but small portions. Stopped in for a light dinner and couldn't have been happier. Great place to drop in and have a quick bite. REALLY fresh, tasty fish. Delicious! Be sure to check out their special of the day. ($15 per person +/-) Also a good place to buy fresh fish to take home and cook. Not a wide selection, but that's because it's all whatever's been locally caught.

    (4)

  • Manfei W.

    The food was served pretty fast and if you arrive early, say 5:30 pm there will be no line. The nut roasted plate was great( I forgot the full name), the sauce was very nice. As for the coconut roasted, if you would like to have something lighter, that's pretty good choice. My boyfriend and I both had plates, not sure about their sandwiches.

    (4)

  • Amnon F.

    The seating is kind of odd, but to food is f..king awesome. Everything is fresh, we kept going every night and take their poke and ceviche to the room, goes well with sea weed and white wine. Avoid over rated and expensive restaurants, stick to the small food places, price is right and fresh food.

    (5)

  • Tina D.

    Located in a little strip center, The Fish Market was packed full of people. One side has a great selection of freshly caught fish and a few salads. Perfect if your renting a condo or home while visiting and want to prepare your own meal. On the other side of the market is a full selection of tacos burritos, etc. Two Baja Fish Tacos and two drinks for a total of $12 ! Best deal on a meal so far in Maui and certainly the best fish taco I've ever eaten. Yum, yum, yum....a must while visiting.

    (5)

  • Matthew R.

    Super friendly place. Part fishmonger, part cafe with a Mex twist. Pork taco was far superior to the shrimp (which was well over-sauced).

    (4)

  • Tim S.

    A little grubby. We ate our sandwiches on dirty little tables within inches of car bumpers. BUT!!! The AHI sandwiches were unbelievably good! Best meal in eleven days. We returned a few days later to buy some ONO and Mahi to grill. Great fish, very fresh. Yum, with flash-sautéed peppers, rooms, and zucchini. We will try to do this again before we go home. In two days..wahhhhh

    (4)

  • Chris J.

    Came here to get fresh fish. Had excellent, blocks of sushi grade ahi. Other fish available in the case were ahi steaks, wahoo, mahi-mahi, ono, pink and grey snapper, and monchong. Was later in the day (3-4pm) so was disappointed by selection (i.e., we wanted to more of monchong but only had 1 fillet. Others you can generally get in the supermarket so nothing special. Didn't seem extraordinarily fresh to me either.

    (3)

  • Megan L.

    Mahi mahi (fish of the day) Burrito was seasoned well, large portion, and so fresh. This place was recommended by our hotel and we would highly recommend it! Very good value for the money, also!

    (5)

  • Tara D.

    Tried the seared ahi sandwich and the mahi mahi special (macadamia crusted with mango glaze). Definitely tasty, but not quite 5 stars. I'm thinking about going back to try the tacos.

  • Vic M.

    This review was intended for the Lahaina Fish Co on Front St. I can't figure out how to delete this so please recognize that this review is fir the Lahaina Fish Company. Went there for lunch and we had great food. The fried artichoke was prett tasteless however unique and so ok. Went back for dinner a week later and all was excellent. The sashimi appetizer was excellent was was the Lua lua dinner. The paella was much different than I've ever had and was awesome. Moist and soupy and a dish that if you like cioppino (without tomatoes) this is the fish meal for you. I'm definitely going back for more paella. The seating is open to the ocean and very nice. Not too noisy of a restaurant and in Lahaina this is my most favorite place for dinner. Great selection of fish as well.

    Best fish tacos and fish and chips in Maui !I go there every time I'm on the island and can't wait to get back:)

  • Ivy T.

    The Fish Market had some yummy food to choose from. I had their kalua pork taco and my fiance had the mahi mahi. The downside of this restaurant is that if customers substitute the two scoops of rice and mac salad for a salad, there is a $2 charge. Kind of sucks when we are both trying to eat less crabs. I noticed many places on Maui also have a $2 charge if salad is substituted for rice and mac salad. Kind of defeats the purpose of staying slim while on vacation especially when one is trying to rock in their swimsuits at the beach. I really like the sweet salad dressing with lavenders. It has a unique taste. If customers wants to order a fish that isn't listed as the fish of the day, they have to buy the fish raw and cook it at home. Which really sucks for tourists who don't have access to a kitchen but wants to try exotic fish. There is no comfortable place to sit. If you sit outside there are flies and inside have limited bar stools with no place for women to hang their purses.

  • Tiffany W.

    Everything we wanted in seafood! The oyster shooters were a great start as we waited for our fish sandwich and Baja fish taco. There are many different types of hot sauce for the oysters or food in general. The people their are super nice and had plenty of smiles. The fresh fish and ahi poke looked delicious but we did not try any. The fish sandwich my husband got was soo good and I only had one bite. The Baja was also delicious with their secret sauce. Highly recommend you visiting if you are in the area. The price wasn't bad either for the freshness!

    (5)

  • Richard B.

    Small spot located in a strip mall. On one side you can get fresh caught local fish and the other side you can order prepared food. From the fish market side I ordered ceviche and from the other side I ordered a fajita and baja fish taco. All three of these items were absolutely amazing. I have had my share of ceviche and even more so of tacos and this was some of the best ceviche and by far some of the best tacos I have had anywhere. In all my travels to Maui, this was my first visit here and I wish I would have known about it before.

    (5)

  • Peter A.

    Went the other day for lunch, had the fish tacos and shrimp tacos. 4.50 each. The fish tacos were bland, the shrimp about the same. The pico de gallo on the side though was very good. Overall not impressed.

    (2)

  • Lisa M.

    Best fish tacos period! I dream about their Baja fish tacos and swear I could eat them everyday! I love them so much I've never tried anything else but I'm sure everything is just as amazing. I can't wait for my next trip to Maui so I can get my Baja tacos again!!

    (5)

    We only discovered this on our last day - otherwise would have been there every day! Baja fish tacos were the best I ever had! The place is pretty cool with a market on one side where you can order fresh fish, prepared fish, or poke to go. Then on the other side is where you can order cooked food - every kind of fish possible done in everyway possible. Definitely try it!!!

    Man this was AWESOME.. went there two days in a row! Best fish and chips I ever had, with more of a bread crumb crust instead of the thick tempur type crusts most fish have!

    5 stars for the ahi poke. Damn, we left Maui more than a week ago, and I'm still thinking about the poke. We were lucky enough to get it twice (according to some of these reviews, sometimes they run out/don't have it?). Overall, 4 stars. We had the seared ahi sandwich in addition to the poke, and it was pretty tasty, but nothing to rave about. It certainly tasted fresh and "caught to order" as I described it to my friends. I'm currently searching for sashimi-grade ahi in local fish markets so I can try to make that poke at home... my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

    You know the fish is fresh...when they are selling filets at the counter next you. Super primo fish, local produce for things like Pineapple Salsa, special preparations at a fair price. Dont believe me....look at all the other 5 star ratings....we'll be back a few more times before we leave i'm sure!

    This is a small market with limited indoor seating and outdoor tables. We were staying at a condo near by within walking distance, so we just ordered to go and brought the food back to our place. We had the fish and chip, fish tacos, and the garlic shrimp. Fish and chips were pretty good, not too greasy, fish tacos were cooked perfectly, garlic shrimp is excellent - full of flavors but you would be messy after that tho.

    Oh man...this place was just soooo good! All we wanted was just some fresh fish after our nightmare of a dinner at Aloha Mixed Plate the night before. I yelped Poke and The Fish Market came up and we were on our way for lunch. We ordered the much talked about Ahi Burger, some mahi mahi fish taco's, and half a pound of their fresh poke. The poke was made fresh to order...and it was so good, we finished it off in 2 minutes flat. Yes, it was that good. We waited a bit for the rest of the food and proceeded to inhale everything we ordered. We waited 15-20 minutes for the food to be prepared...and we finished it in 6 minutes flat. Everything was so wonderfully cooked and seasoned. Would definitely recommend this place!

    You know those rare times when Yelp lets you down, this place is one of them. Portions are small and bland... Worst meal on Maui so far. Wouldn't even go back if it was 1/2 the price they charge.

  • Tony L.

    We visited the Fish Market a couple of times on our trip to Maui. What this eatery lacks in ambiance, it definitely makes up in the quality of their fresh seafood. We had to order the fish tacos several times, each with a thickly cut filet on a bed of fresh veggies and a tortilla. I'd say skip the plate and double down on the tacos. We also tried a few other dishes including the peel and eat shrimp special--it was pretty good, but what really stood out, ironically, was the peppers and onions sauteed in butter and Cajun seasoning over rice. While you're there, check out the farmers market next door and the playground across the street, which makes it a great spot for families with young children.

    Pretty good poke, but nothing beats the one on lanai. Fish didn't taste as fresh as I've ever had but their seasoning was not bad. Better than Coconut's Fish Cafe's poke by a tonne.

    Taking the "service" out of food service. Food was mediocre at best and service was HORRENDOUS. "Seared" Ahi that is cooked all the way through and drowned in wasabi aioli!?! What decade are we in? Fish and chips were over battered and fried so long you could build a house with the resulting pieces of wood. Poke was good but seriously, this is Hawaii and you almost have to work hard to mess up the delicious tuna that can be found almost anywhere on the island. Even the local organic grocery had poke that tasted nearly as good and their service was impeccable, even offering me a sample of the 6 different varieties prepared. I will not provide all the details on the treatment I received but do understand that it was quite possibly the worst service in my 38 years. I spent 16 years in the food industry, was a chef for 9 of them and there is no excuse for treating your customers in this manner. This place is so disorganized that most people didn't know where to order food and where to order fish. The help was so rude that it took all the self control I could muster to not make a scene with my family. I know I'm not a local but the people working here must realize that the economy on these islands is supported by respectable people like me coming here to visit these beautiful islands. If they don't like it then they should leave or increase their education so they don't have to work in the service industry. I know that this will not affect their business but the point of writing this is to paint the picture for them and others that their actions are not without consequences. The attitude of let's screw this guy and make him wait forever for his food while overcharging him and his family cause he'll never be back does not work in today's "everyone's a critic" environment. Eat at your own risk or at least approach the situation prepared to be treated like you are a lower form of life if you are not from the island.

    They have fabulous food!! There is NO atmosphere; it's in a strip shopping center and has few seats inside (bar seats inside, a few tables outside), but the food was well worth it! My husband had the Macadamia crusted mahi and I had the peel-and-eat garlic shrimp. I can't say enough good things about the food--it was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. Go for the food, not the ambience. You'll be glad you did!

    Calamari was 5star, awesome with chili sauce for dipping. Shrimp taco was good, not great. Wife loved the pork taco. Will definitely go back! ***one bad item, did not give "to go" utensils*** overall, good food!

  • Jim Y.

    We decided to try The Fish Market since it was close to our hotel and some yelp reviews. We started off with the mahi mahi poki which was as fresh as can be and seasoned perfectly. I tried the seared ahi sandwich with homemade Hawaiian chips which was excellent. My son had the fried calamari sandwich with fries...we all took a bite since it was huge! My wife had the Kalua pork taco which she enjoyed. Finally, my daughter had the mahi mahi fish taco special which was excellent. A great dive for budget friendly families.

    This is our 2nd year coming back to this establishment. Very close to our vacation Condo and off Lower Honoapillani Rd. in a strip mall. There's a private parking lot. Seating is limited to bar stools and counter space inside, as well as 3 iron-wrought tables & chairs big enough for 4 persons out on sidewalk. Frequented by tourists and locals alike. The fish is freshly caught daily and prepared by the chef on-site as ordered. After getting off the plane and checking into our condo, the first order of business was to conquer one of the daily specials from here! So far we have eaten various fish tacos, fish special of the day Burrito (huge!), Marlin Burger, Mahi Mahi burger, and even purchase fresh fish to cook in our own kitchen/grill. All have been tasty and filling. Worth every penny. We've had the traditional plates with Mac salad and rice, as well as the sides of chips with home-made salsa fresca (fresh and tasty!) and potato chips. Service is friendly and prompt. Our meal was cooked in record time. Prices are typical Maui pricing for fresh fish/food outside of fast-food. With 2 burrito or fish plates, 2 drinks and a tip our bill was $32. Hours of business are 11am to 7pm. Perfect for lunch after snorkeling or dinner after a day of outdoor fun!

  • Catherine C.

    Found this place on yelp, as we wanted some local food for lunch. We got the pork taco, shrimp taco and ahi tuna steak sandwich. The food was amazing. It has bar seating around the store and some outdoor seating. The place is in a local area but can get pretty busy. We also ordered a plate of ahi tuna sashimi. It was pretty fresh and hit our sashimi craving. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

  • AJ A.

    Fish Market is a good place to get some fresh fish and not pay $30/person. We got 2 Baja fish tacos (come with bell peppers and a chitpotle sauce), house chips, and a Mac nut crusted Mahi Mahi. Both entrees were solid and the house chips were strangely good but slightly stale at the same time. Don't expect a lot of service here, you're bussing your own table and refilling your drinks. I'd come back here to get more tacos (and I don't usually go for fish tacos).

  • Joshua M.

    House salad with seared Ahi. Pretty awesome. They've got all if these delicious sauces that they give you with the fish. So good. Haven't done the fish-to-go yet but will soon. Love this place. Go here for lunch.

  • Eat U.

    Poke was very good (spicy) but the fish and chips is probably the best I had on the islands. The combo comes with shrimp and fish and they are covered in a batter that is tasty! Tacos were actually good too and the portions are generous.

  • Stefanie M.

    Ordered the macadamia nut crusted special with mango salsa & glaze with fries for an additional charge. Without asking, chef decided to make me the pineapple special...brought it back, got the fish with no sauce and when I received it, no fries, but Mac salad and rice. Geez! How hard can it be?

  • H J.

    Food was pretty yummy. I had a poke bowl. The service was great. The older lady helped us and when I asked for furikake for my rice, she told me the guys would get it with my order and to let her know if was an issue. Before I even had a chance to order my poke, she came over and handed me a "to go" container filled with furikake! It was super sweet of her. Parking was tight, the joint isn't very large, and seating is limited.

  • Bianca E.

    Wow! Just what we were craving: fresh fish, simple, flavorful with great service! I had the seared ahi plate, and my husband ordered the ahi sandwich. Both were cooked perfectly--we would have taken a photo but we ate it too fast! We agreed we will be back a few more times before the end of the vacation!

    (5)

  • David G.

    Looks are deceiving... This place is quite a diamond in the rough. Although seating is lacking, the staff are friendly and attentive. I suspect it could get very hectic during the lunch rush. The food is delicious. I had the fish of the day burrito and it was great. A bit messy but very tasty.

    I will never look at fried calamari the same way ever again. These were huge strips, seasoned perfectly. They were amazing. Had their Baja fish tacos as well, and those were amazing. This place was super busy, but we got our food quick. I get why this place is so packed with clients!

  • Jeff C.

    We were excited to eat here after reading the reviews, so after a morning at the beach, we strolled in for lunch. It's got a laid back vibe, perhaps a little too laid back, as the guy at the counter didn't seem too enthused to take our order. I ordered the ahi sandwich and my wife ordered the ono fish burger. A few minutes later he comes out and tells us they didn't have any more ahi... doh! So I ordered the grilled fresh fish sandwich, which was uku for that day. The ono fish burger was not super "ono", not much taste. My sandwich was decent. The mac salad was blah, it didn't have any flavor. We ended up tossing half of it because we didn't want to waste any calories on eating filler. We did really like the homemade potato chips that came with our sandwiches! Those were good. Maybe my opinion of this place would have been different if they had my ahi sandwich, but as it is, I'd rather hit up Okazuya a couple doors down for some good food.

    Some of the best meals that we had in Maui were either cooked or purchased here. The Ahi sandwich that it seems most recommend was good and I would get it again if I go back, but my favorite by far was their Ahi poke. Poke is essentially raw seafood (in this case fresh Ahi), mixed with raw sliced onions, green onions, sesame oil, soy sauce, and chili peppers (or chili sauce). You have to go to the fish market side in order to get poke. They ask what heal level you want and then add the oil and chili to the dish. The spicy raw fish mixed with onions was crazy delicious. I went there at least 2 or 3 times just to get a container. MMHhh... It was also my favorite version of poke I got on the island. The final thing that we got here was multiple pieces of fresh fish that we later grilled out. The only type of fish I remember getting is Walu (AKA Butterfish, AKA Escolar), though we picked out 3 or 4 different species. I remember the Walu because everyone in the family was head over heels for the grilled Walu. It truly is smooth like butter. It also has a high oil content that sometimes gives people diarrhea, which we didn't know at the time. It didn't seem to bother my stomach and none of the people in my party complained, but I figure I probably should give you a heads up not to make and eat a shit ton of Walu on a first, second, or third date or you might shit a ton. Wah wah. If you happen to be in the area definitely pick up some Ahi Poke. You wont regret it, unless you dislike raw fish that is.

    While on Maui, the Fish Market was the only restaurant we visited twice. For less than $5 you could get a great tasting fish taco or for $15 you could get a wonderful fish and chips. During prime time lunch, parking is difficult as is seating. If I had a kitchen, I would have definitely purchased some fresh fish.

    (4)

  • Dick A.

    Don't eat here unless you want great food. Fresh fish, had to dodge a load on the way in, and an excellent selection for lunch. Yes it's in a strip mall and that why it's not a five but it's clean as a whistle and delicious food. Have them fix up son ahi poke, spicy, oh so good.

    (4)

  • Cid H.

    Overall, a good dining experience. I order the ahi burger, and my wife ordered the seared tuna sandwich. Perhaps I should have chose another option, because I wasn't completely blown away by the ahi burger (although it was somewhat tasty). My wife, however, really liked her seared tuna sandwich. You could tell the potato chips were freshly made, and the cole slaw was above average. As for the iced tea (and I consider myself an iced tea snob), I definitely commend The Fish Market for offering a unique brand of unsweetened black iced tea, but the flavor may disappoint those looking for a more traditional black tea. All of that being said, I still recommend this restaurant because their fish was very fresh, and I would be wiling to bet that some of their other options were just as good (if not better).

    (4)

  • Julie T.

    Yummy, yummy, big, succulent tuna! My only con was the pricing (around 18 dollars for one item - after taxes)... other than that, you get a delicious tuna sandwich! I got the grilled ahi sandwich which comes with a side of fruit salad and a bag of chips. It's a very simple place with a simple menu. It's not super filling, but this sandwich hit the spot for my fish crave. I wish I had the chance to try more of the deli options, like the poke and fresh produce.

  • Katherine M.

    *Review for "restaurant", not the fresh fish counter.* After reading the reviews for the seared ahi sandwich, we HAD to try this place. It's very small with extremely limited seating. The employees looked like they wished they were anywhere else; it gave off an odd vibe as you walked up to order. Everyone enjoyed their food, but I don't think anyone was blown away. A staff attitude change could really improve the customer experience. I wouldn't say the experience was unenjoyable, but I think our expectations may have been a tad too high. Having said that, their fresh fish looked amazing! Instead of eating there, I wish we would have just picked some up and grilled it ourselves!

    We stopped here for lunch with our 4 year old twins. Ordered the baja taco, and shrimp fajita taco. Baja taco was better. Hub had the Ono burger and it was delicious. Kids shared the fish and chips. They loved it. This has been our favorite meal all week. Great little local spot.

  • Rachel J.

    My first Maui dinner. Absolutely incredible! The freshness and interesting flavor combos were incredible. They didn't have any more poke when we got there so I settled on the sandwich. I got the ahi tuna steak sandwich (10/10) and my husband got the crab cake (7.5/10) and shrimp taco (8.75/10) Fresh. Crisp. Heaven on a plate. Going back tonight and trying the poke!! The lobster bisque (8/10) was yummy but different, very unique from what you normally get in a restaurant. Still polished it off, very creamy with yummy veggies chunks. Reminded me of cream of potato soup with lobster!!

    (5)

  • Kristin M.

    Great meal of simple, fresh seafood done perfectly. We had the fish of the day grilled plate and a burrito. The oyster shooters and lobster bisque were great as well. Prices were affordable and the service was fast and friendly. They also had a retail market where you can buy fish to cook yourself.

    Ok, so the fish tacos my daughter and I ordered weren't great. The fish was over cooked but still ok. The hubby had a Ahi Tuna sandwich and said it was good. The real reason to come here is the Tuna Poke made to order. They take the fresh fish and mix with onions and a sauce that can be made in different levels of spice. We ordered medium spice (as to still taste the fish). It was spectacular!

    Great lunch stop. Had the seared ahi tuna steak sandwich. Big slab of fish steak with good slaw and condiments on the sandwich. Wife got calamari which was super tender. Would definitely come back!

    We stopped for a snack as we had a big breakfast and we each ordered a fish taco. I got the baja. It was great. White sauce had a tiny kick of spice. The guacamole wasn't spectacular but the taco didn't need it. My daughter got a grill cheese with homemade potato chips and both were great. I wish we would have come sooner in the trip, the crab cakes look amazing and will try them next time

    I have been to Fish Market Maui three times now. Twice having the Ahi plate and once the Mahi Mahi plate. The quality has been consistent. It's a good meal for not a lot of $. The environment being in a strip mall across the street from the beach is not ideal, but the food is good that I will return.

  • Kayla L.

    My hubby and I read the reviews on this place while in Maui and were either going to eat here or down the street for some Loco Moco. So glad we chose the Fish Market! Had the grilled fish sandwich with the catch of the day being mahi mahi. I must say, having eaten tons of seafood in my life (both parents are from different islands and my husband is a fisherman), this ranks as one if the best sandwiches I've ever eaten. Ask for a side of guacamole to give a little extra zing, not that it needs it, but a little avocado never hurt a sandwich. Oh, and the homemade chips and slaw are fantastic sides for this awesome lunch! It is a tad bit pricey, but well worth it for how fresh the whole meal is. Try it out and enjoy!!

  • Liz G.

    The tacos are huge! I made the mistake of ordering two baja fish tacos, thinking they were going to be the size of California fish tacos. I could only finish one. The tacos were MEATY. The fish was tasty, and the cabbage, tomatoes and sauces provided a complimenting tangy zest, but did not over power the fish. I guess I've always had fish tacos drowning in all the other stuff, so I didnt know how good they could taste. These were the best fish tacos I've ever had! Minus one star because although the food was great, there were tiny ants on the counter. Not that bothersome. I'd eat here again.

    We drove all over Maui looking for Ono fish n chips. We asked locals, hotel staff. We called all over. It wasn't to be it seemed. We called Maui Fish Market. A local secret. People coming and going with delicious looking dishes. We got ours To Go. I had a fish taco and a kailua pork taco and coconut crusted Mahi. Hubby had Baja Style Ono fish and chips. Not on the menu, made special. The service was great. We were made to feel welcome. Prices very reasonable and food quality fantastic. Eating there again tomorrow to check more menu items.

    Had the macadamia nut crusted fish Plate. It came with a side of rice and macaroni salad. The fish was incredibly, presentation was awesome for the price point, not too fried, overall awesome. Macaroni salad though had too much mayo and the rice was bland and unflavored. I liked the tomato hot sauce they had too, quite spicy. I would definitely go back here.

    2.5 stars - Can I have some fish with my Salt? This store is split into two parts - 1) a fresh fish market on one side and 2) a small restaurant specializing in fish sandwiches, tacos and fish plates. Fish Market - 4 Stars. Lot's of fresh local fish. If you spend some time in the store, you will see local fisherman delivering their catches. They sell various marinades for the seafood they sell and offer friendly cooking advice. They also have a variety of Poke which is a bonus. This is a great option if your staying in a condo and want to do some of your own cooking. The restaurant - 2 stars. They must love salt here. I had the fish sandwich which would have been great if my fresh Mahi Mahi was not marinated in salt. My wife ordered the fresh fish plate - same thing, incredibly salty. I'm not sure if this was a one-off since no one else commented on this. Not sure if I will return... BK

    Wow. Now I have to confess we were pretty ravenous after a long afternoon of snorkeling and being that hungry sometimes skews your judgement but I gotta say this place was flat-out legit. Especially after the disappointments at a not to be named (Geste Shrimp) truck, we wondered if there was any good food that wasn't either overpriced or over-greasy. Fish Market Maui delivered. I started with a fajita-style shrimp taco and kalua pork taco made the same way; with sautéed peppers and onions drizzled with a spicy, creamy chipotle sauce. They were both amazing, just melt in your mouth good. I wanted to try the fish one, done with a Cajun spice rub and I asked for this one fajita-style as well. Equally amazing. My wife had a veggie burrito and I tried a bite, super-fresh and equally epic in its own way. So far the highlight of our dining in west Maui, definitely check it out. Dudes running the place are super-chill too, laid-back vibe.

    The Furikaki Seared Ahi is melt in your mouth fresh and big. The wasabi/teri mayo adds a little kick too but gotta admit to adding a little shoyu too. Served plate lunch style with rice and Mac salad. My husband tried the fried calamari. He said it was good but the panko was a little too thick. Next time I'll try the fish tacos.

    I LOVE Fish Tacos and the Fish Market did not disappoint! I had the Baja Fish Taco and the fish was fried to perfection, it was like a tempura fry! I also got the Shrimp Taco, which was also good but not as good as the Fish Taco. I got their homemade Corn Chips and they were amazing as was the Pico de Gallo! I go home tomorrow and I can't wait to come back to Maui so I can go to the Fish Market again!

  • Alexis M.

    I've searched far and wide for good fish tacos in Maui, I didn't think they existed, and then I tried them at the Fish Market. I've eaten there before, so I know the fish is really fresh, but wow did these fish tacos blow my mind. They beer batter and fry a huge piece of fresh caught Ono, sit it on a corn tortilla with green cabbage and then top it with a simple house made pico de gallo and a perfect tangy crema sauce. It was simply the best fish taco I have ever had (and I live in California, so I've had a lot! :) You must try this place during your trip to Maui. It's amazing!

    On our way to the airport, we stopped for one more Maui meal. Yelped it, and it worked out well. You don't come to Hawaii and expect good Mexican food like you wouldn't go to Mexico and expect good Hawaiian food. That being said, I would TOTALLY recommend the fish burrito. For $12.99 some people say pricey, but hey it's Maui. Not pricey for Maui. Portions are "right sized" in my book. Fresh pico de gallo, tortilla seemed to be homemade, crisp veggies and delicious fresh fish. I don't know how "Mexican" it is but it was delicious. Hubby completely enjoyed his calamari sandwich, and I can't imagine how big the buggah was considering how huge the calamari portions were on it. Would definitely return

    We ate there for the first time 4 days ago and have already returned because it was just that good! Super fresh food that's crazy delicious. Yes, the service is a little casual, but so what? Seafood chowder has huge chunks of fish in it. Fish tacos (whether deep-fried fish or not) are not only packed with flavor, they're packed with fish! And the flavors in the seared ahi sandwich were like what you'd expect from a 5-star restaurant (but you wouldn't find a piece of ahi this big at a 5-star restaurant, which makes this place the far better deal). Please please please try this place. Don't let the hole-in-the-wall appearance scare you off. You won't be sorry!

    If you want the BEST fish taco on Maui...go to the Fish Market. We got the recommendation from some locals and they were right. The oyster shooters are great, shrimp and fish tacos are wonderful, but the crown jewel is the Baja fish taco. We went twice, if we would have known about this place before we got to the island, we would have eaten here everyday. Quick, inexpensive and fantastic.

    We tried fish, shrimp and pork tacos at several places on Maui and this seemed to be the best. A little out of our way since we stayed in Kihei but drove to Lahaina to get tacos here twice. Very fresh ingredients and some of the biggest tacos, stuffed with fish shrimp or pork. Fish was definitely our favorite, followed by pork. Also had very fresh salads. Great place to p/u lunch on the way to Kapalua beach.

    Had the ahi steak sandwich Cooked very well. Tasty, wish they came w fries vs chips. If we have more time I'll stop by and try the fish tacos. They were sold out of poke . Overall a good value.

    The ceviche and spicy poke salad were delicious. My son had a Kailua pork sloppy sandwich and loved it. I had the ahi steak plate with salad and was pretty satisfied. I totally recommend this place.

    I was very excited to try this place and I was let down. the pork was terrible and tasted burned. the fish taco was ok, I have had better other places on the island. the mac salad was good.

    Seared Ahi Steak sandwich was 10/10 and the clear specialty here. Cooked perfect, no fish taste, so could tell it was very fresh. Perfect combination of toppings on the sandwich too ... Yum! Also tried the Baja Fish taco which was good 8/10 but fish was too big for the tortilla shell and it was tough to eat. Almost forgot about the lobster bisque. Very good but different texture more like potato soup. Was still great with big chucks of lobster/crab.

    We had to wait quite a bit to order, and it was kind of confusing as to what was the line to order whole fish or order entrees because no one was helping us. When we were helped, the old lady seemed happier to be rid of us. Bad starts aside, we finished with a bang. The crab cake sandwich and shrimp tacos were fantastic. Definitely recommend checking this place out. So fresh. So yum yum.

    Tried the seared ahi sandwich, the ahi burger, the fish and chips and the veggie burrito. I couldn't decide which sandwich I liked more, and their chipotle mayo sauce is great with their awesome french fries.

  • Lydia G.

    I love local restaurants - where 'fresh' means FRESH! The fish taco was over-the-top delicious. Mahi cooked to perfection with a gentle sauce that didn't over power. And the staff was genuinely friendly. Be ready to sit on bar stools or at one of the few tables curb-side or make it a to-go platter and walk across the street and sit by the sea. Or select from the cold case and take some home to cook for yourself.

    Decent food for the price, but if you are visiting check out Shark Pitt food truck - their taco's are stellar in comparison. I liked my food here but wouldn't rush back.

    If you are a visitor to our Island and you want fresh semi-cheap seafood this is the place to check out. Not only is the fish market reasonably priced but it is delicious. Warning this is not a quick bite to eat, because of its popularity you may wait 10-20 minutes to get your food based on what time you stop by.

  • Joanna V.

    Their pork, oh my goodness! Great food and doesn't make you feel like you are at any old tourist place.

    (5)

  • Jessica C.

    The food was decent, but it took us over 30 minutes to get our food. Maybe I'm still stuck on city time and not island time but 30+ minutes was totally unacceptable to me. Maybe they were having trouble catching and reeling in the fish out front? Ugh.

    I rarely ever visit a restaurant twice on one vacation, the last time I did that was Phil's BBQ in San Diego and that earned a 5 star review, so here I am, another 5 star for Fish Market Maui. Tucked away off the road in a small strip mall (at least there's free and ample parking), it is a little ways away from the touristy areas of Lahaina but worth the drive if you have a rental car. It's about 5 minutes drive from the main hotels in Kaanapali beach and worth it. I encountered no wait both times I came here. They're primary business is to sell fish and for that they have one side of their store ready for that. Their case has all kinds of fresh catches that we even saw them bringing in while we were sitting at the restaurant portion. They also have some semi-prepared offerings like their poke, ceviche and ocean salad. We tried their poke (mild) although you can get it medium and spicy and it was very good. Light on the sauce, they literally make it in front of you as to not saturate the flavors as it sits there in the case. The fish is practically sashimi grade, very fresh and delicate. Their ocean salad was also very good. My parents have been obsessed with ocean salad forever and I've tried many different brands and this ranks in the top 3. The balance of the salad is very good. On the other side of the shop is their prepared food counter. They have bar seating throughout the store and some tables set up outside so you can enjoy the great Hawaiian weather. I ordered the Ahi Tuna Melt the first time and K ordered the crab cake sandwich the first AND second times. The Tuna melt was unlike any other I've had, probably because the tuna was fresh and chunky. The onions, lettuce and tomato all added crispness to the sandwich that helped to counter the creamy tuna. The crab cake was also equally creamy and very tasty for K. The second time around, I had the seared Ahi Steak sandwich. This one was also very very good, probably better than the tuna melt because of the fresh ahi that was seared with enough fish taste. The wasabi aoili isn't too strong but you could definitely taste wasabi if you aren't a fan of it. I know the prices are a bit high, lunch typically cost for both of us $30 which is more than I would pay at home but hey, it's vacation, its Hawaii and you aren't going to get fresher fish and tastier sandwiches in this area. Rather than pay $30 at a hotel restaurant for food that is from the freezer, why wouldn't you travel here and support a local business and have something authentic? Come here, you won't regret it.

    This is super close to our resort and went here because of the reviews. Food was good but next time will ask for the seared ahi sandwich to be more raw. The fish tacos were dry so I don't recommend it but the calamari was good. The challenge is limited seating so I would get things to go.

  • Mari M.

    The quest for my go-to for fish tacos in maui has ended (for research purposes I ate different fish tacos everyday for five days). The crab cake sandwich is definitely Ono (Hawaiian for yum) too.

    The Baja and Fajita tacos were out of this world amazing. Sad to be leaving tomorrow because we would definitely be going back. The place was packed with locals, don't pass this place up!

  • Diana C.

    We came to The Fish Market three times: the first to get lunch and the other two to get fish to grill. During our first trip, we ordered the seared ahi steak sandwich that many Yelpers were raving about, a cup of lobster bisque, and half a dozen of oyster shooters. All of it was good, but it wasn't as amazing as I had hoped it would have been. IMO, The Fish Market's local fish selection is the true gem of the place. Those who travel to Maui often hear that it's very expensive to eat out all the time while vacationing there. We also decided to save some dollars by buying some local fish and grilling it at the resort, and it turned out absolutely fabulous with a simple seasoning of salt, pepper and lime juice. The butterfish, just like the name suggests, tasted just like butter. Omg, it was so good! We were able to buy cuts of ahi tuna, wahoo, shrimp, and an awesome crab salad from them, and they were all very fresh and tasted delicious grilled as well. So if you want to cook up yourself a local seafood feast, get your ingredients at The Fish Market. You'll definitely enjoy the results!

    This little hole in the wall is soooo tasty. fresh fish every day, multiple deliveries a day. The lobster bisque is really good, we also had the calamari strips which were AWESOME!!! Service was good, people were friendly. Definitely stop in here if you get the chance.

    (5)

  • Patrick M.

    Did not eat at the restaurant only bought from the fish market. Sashimi and Ahi poke. The sashimi was fishy smelling and the mushy I had tried in 2 weeks on the island. Can't say much for the poke either!

  • Patrick L.

    Great mahi mahi burrito. Definitely the best I've ever had. Chock full o' fresh fish, with great cream sauce. The tortilla was fresh and slightly crunchy. My wife absolutely raved about the buffalo shrimp taco. Apparently, the owner goes fishing himself and sells what he catches. When he doesn't catch enough (which is often) he buys off other fisherman. If it's a bad haul that day/week he orders fish. So, just ask what's fresh (not frozen) before your order and you should be good. They lose a start for the lobster bisque being very average and the so so service. We were disappointed they didn't have poke available. The place is very laid back - perhaps too much so. I was there 45 minutes and heard at least three people ask for poke. The guys just kept saying "we haven't made it yet but it'll be available in an hour." May be worth coming in a bit early to prepare Poke? We'll be back next time!

  • Pancakes D.

    The service (or lack thereof) is astounding. Staff was not friendly or gracious at all, despite the astronomical prices I was paying for mediocre deep fried & uninventive food. Calamari steak sandwich - Regular looking buns. Good salad, sliced tomatoes and caramelized onions. However, calamari was coated in thick batter and then fried to a hard and chewy brown. Fish & chips - 3 pieces of fish, again coated in thick batter and fried to hard & overly crisp strips. Served with abundance of very bland regular fries. All for almost $30!! I'd rather skip lunch...

  • Stacy B.

    Probably the best fish taco that I have ever had in my life! Just a little hole in the wall joint located in a strip mall north of Lahaina in Honokowai. Next to the restaurant section is a fish market where you can by fresh fish and poke to take home. Not a lot of seating so not great for a large group. Bar stools along the window and a few tables outside. Nice menu and everything looked great. Great prices too!

  • Alisa B.

    Great fresh fish. Came back a second time. Busy due to great food and fast service. We have a Boston Whaler boat and catch our own salmon, halibut, rockfish, and Dungeoness crab off the California coast. We know fresh fish, and they've got it here too. Our youngest didn't feel like seafood and ordered a pork burrito. The pork was moist and very flavorful. We will come back next time we're in Maui.

    We enjoyed our take-out from the Fish Market tonight. Started with the seafood chowder -- delicious, and a more than ample serving. For our main, we had the fish special -- the catch of the day, macadamia nut encrusted with a pineapple salsa. It was good, but the fish was a wee bit over-cooked. The fish came with traditional scoop of rice and scoop of Mac salad. My partner liked the mac salad; it had a bit much mayo for my taste. Good fresh seafood, with tasty, straightforward preparations.

    (4)

  • Anthony B.

    The clam Chowder had no flavor. The fish sandwich had little flavor. The laboster Bisque was da bomb. The owner was nice and understanding when it didn't like the clam chowder. He had me try the lobster Bisque and was accommodating to my request to change the clam chowder.

    Two years later... We ordered ahi poke at every restaurant and the Fish Market still serves the best ahi poke on the island. None of the restaurants compare to the freshness, size of tuna fish and deliciousness from this place. They run out early so aim to pick it up closer to lunch time.

  • Connie C.

    I love the fishmarket on Maui! I've been there now four times this week and will be going at least once or twice more before flying back to the mainland the day after tomorrow. We've tried almost everything on the menu with the exception of the deep-fried foods. Everything is super fresh and incredible. We saw fishermen carrying their fresh catch in and out of the restaurant all day long. They had one dollar oyster shooters which were at the best we've had in a long time. The oysters were so sweet! They said it is from Washington state. I think they have the best fish tacos on the island! They also have this incredible dish called furokaki ahi, which is ahi fillet coated with furokaki then pan fried. The Cajun shrimp over rice was also really really good. Shrimps were fresher than anything we had in New Orleans. The macadamia crusted mahi-mahi was also incredible. They also had a fresh seafood counter where you can buy fish caught that morning and then cook it up in your condo. I can't really think of anything negative to say about this place. It's not a fancy place. It's best to take your food to go. There's a beach across the street with picnic tables in a beautiful view over the bay between Maui Molokai and Lanai. We had varying degrees of friendliness among the people that worked at the fishmarket. There was one woman who was not very friendly, but all the other servers were extremely friendly. They took the time out to talk to us about where they get the fish and what time the fish would get in. The only reason we don't go there for every meal is to try out other restaurants. But really I can't think of anywhere better to go then to Maui fishmarket. If I can give them six stars I would. I can think of only one equally impressive place as the Maui fishmarket and that this the Lahaina Grill, a very upscale restaurant which I will also recommend, but comparing them would be like comparing apples and oranges.

    Awesome fresh seafood and for the non seafood eaters there is yummy pulled pork on the menu. This is a hole in the wall lunch place. We went whale watching in Lahaina and asked a local for some good authentic food and this place was recommended. Totally casual and always has a line, but worth the wait. I had the fish taco and coconut shrimp, it was perfect. Decent portions. Definitely worth it if you are in the area.

  • Brenda M.

    Came here on my last day in Maui and wish I came sooner. Do yourself a favor and get the Baja fish tacos. I lived in San Diego and ate the fish tacos at Rubios on a weekly basis. I would go so far as to say these were the best fish tacos I've ever had.

    (5)

  • E R.

    Fish tacos were awesome and my husband loved his shrimp burrito! My parents ordered the lobster bisque and it was more like a seafood chowder--they wished they ordered tacos or burritos--so I would shy away from the soup.

    Difficult to put into words lunch at this place. Just take a few seconds and browse the images on here. Such a great, local, hole-in-the-wall, hidden gem. Must get an Ahi sandwich.

  • Bob L.

    Read the positive reviews and decided to give this place a shot. Very close to the resorts on Kaanapali Beach and a perfect spot for lunch or an early dinner. The dining room is small...with a counter to order food and separate counter to order fresh fish. Some stools by the windows to eat. We arrived before 1 and ordered right away...but it got crowded very quickly. I ordered the fresh fish burrito (MahiMahi) and thought it was fantastic! Crispy tortilla with chipotle cream sauce and some great fish...a messy dish, but very much worth it. Wish I'd had a chance to go back and try the Ahi sandwich which looks to be a hit. If you want a cheaper lunch/dinner option while vacationing near Lahaina, give The Fish Market a try!

  • Joyce L.

    We went there for lunch. Ordered baja fish taco, calamari stripes and fresh fish sandwich. Taco was just like any places you could find on the side of the road. Nothing special and the sauce was a little too rich and provides extra fatty flavor. Calamari stripes were served with french fries. Average taste. Personally think that the oil for frying might been used too many times. Did not have the fresh oil taste. Fish sandwich, the best dish of the three. I give three stars for it. An OK place, not sure I will come back.

    Love the seared ahi sandwich here. Excellent selection of fish to eat in or take home to cook. Only place I've found on Maui this vacation that sells Opakapaka! Stoked to make some tacos tonight. Service is nice too. The guy who sold us the fish was the one who caught it!

  • Rebekah W.

    All I can say is I am so thankful to all of the yelpers who helped me choose the fish market for dinner. The hubby and I took our two children and really didn't know what to expect. It is in a strip mall with minimal seating inside and a few tables outside. When we walked in, I expected to smell fish. I didn't smell fish and it made me so happy! I live in Minnesota so our ability to have seafood that doesn't stink is pretty much nonexistent. I had the fish of the day burrito (you can't go wrong with the fish of the day in Maui), hubby had a pork taco and a fish taco, girls ordered a grill cheese and hot dog. I should have taken a photo of my burrito but the rate at which I consumed it didn't really leave time for the photo op. Ditto for the fish and pork tacos. The fish was so fresh and delicious, the service was great and I loved that it is tucked back on a quiet street (read: not a freakin tourist trap). Did I mention that the fish was perfectly prepared and tasty? It was so great, I can't wait to go back!

  • Josh W.

    Great fish tacos. Hidden in a strip mall, but they sell fish and food. Go for the fish tacos. We've been in Maui 3 days and this is our third fish taco experience. Ranks 2nd so far. More to test. Definitely with checking out.

    While staying at the Paki Maui across the street, I stopped at this fish market and got 2 ahi tuna steaks and some tuna poke. Very delicious! Staff was very helpful and made recommendations as I wasn't entirely sure what to get.

  • Elizabeth S.

    Had the Ono burger- was very good. Regret not getting the ahi burger, since everyone raved about it. Was definitely big enough for two people! Mom got the shrimp and chips. 12 shrimp medium sized and a lot of fries- good deal. Shrimp come from WA. They were Panko crusted with herbs and had some awesome ginger Thai-ish dip sauce, very good. Nothing but great remarks from us. Highly recommend this place. Best for pick up or quick lunch.

  • Iris L.

    Boyfriend and I both ordered the Fish of the Day Burrito, which was mahi mahi, and it came with a side of chips and salsa. I assume that they make everything fresh because we waited a while for the burritos. I also wanted to order the chowder, but they keep it in those steel heated containers up front. It was disgustingly covered in caked soup drippings and didn't want to imagine how long ago the soup was made. The fish was overcooked and somehow it leaked so profusely with what I think is fish-water that it somehow leaked out of my tray, through the mesh table, and all onto my leg. They don't have bathrooms to clean up in, so I ended up smelling like fish and was a sticky mess until I got back to my hotel. A water cup is also 25 cents here and you are limited to only one refill for your soda. I guess soda and drinking water for the beverage machines are imported commodities at this restaurant? And when it is closing time, they'll let you know by stacking all the unused chairs, turning off the music, and staring at you until you get the point that you need to leave.

  • Virak R.

    I had the Ahi Burger and my wife had the tacos. The Ahi Burger was mmmmm mmmmm...Great bun to patty ratio with grilled sweet Maui onions, lettuce and tomato. The Maui onion chips that came with it seemed to be a perfect pairing! I though the tacos my wife had were over seasoned and a bit dry. Located in a small strip mall, you can easily miss it if you are not paying attention. I felt the prices were a little high. Overall I give it 3 stars. Food was good, limited seating (inside and outside), staff was nice. I would eat here again, but wouldn't go out of my way.

  • minna p.

    The grilled market fish burger was extremely fresh and tasty( minus one eyelash we found inside). That didn't stop us from finishing our burger!! Only reason I'm giving it a 4 star review is because of the cleanliness of the joint. Not the cleanest place but def worth giving their fish a try!

    (4)

  • Kimmi M.

    The poke was to die for. Period. One of the best things I've ever eaten. Along with cajun mahi cajun shrimp and tacos that were fished out of the ocean that morning, I've never had a great fish experience. My poke was made to order, and melt in your mouth tender. I'm sad I didn't dive into the market side and buy items like calamari steaks to cook myself, but staying in a hotel was not conducive to that. Fish Market Maui is easy to find, and a true beacon of delicious Hawaiian seafood. So if Arnold from Happy Days tells you to "Please try the fish," and you happen to be here, DO IT!

    (5)

  • Erin B.

    A tad pricey but a great place to buy day-caught fresh fish. I have been here a few times to buy from their fresh fish counter and the quality has never disappointed. They also offer a variety of tasty marinades and dry rubs, and make recommendations on fish/marinade pairings and cooking times. Plus they carry some of the rarer local fish - opah, walu, opakapaka. Haven't tried their prepared food yet, but the ahi sandwiches looked really good. I'd recommend coming in shortly after this place opens at 11am to make sure you get your pick from the catch of the day.

    (4)

  • Jen H.

    Pretty good. Solid 3.5 stars. We ordered the seared ahi tuna sandwich (it was a thick piece of ahi tuna!) and fish tacos. I personally like the fish taco (although a little salty) better because I am not big on fish. I can't believe they charge for tap water....

    We had trouble finding good food in Kaanapali. We had a lot of uninspired food in Kaanapali and nearby Lahaina. Fish Market is worth mentioning. They sell $5-$6 Fish Tacos. A bit on the pricier side for quick service tacos. However, you get a big giant piece of fish with each taco. It's almost too much fish for the size of the tortilla. One taco will probably be enough for one person. Tried the Baja Fish and the Calamari taco. Both very good. However, the Poke is excellent. Very, very fresh. Definitely one of the better Poke's we tried in Hawaii.

    (4)

  • Kini T.

    I love this place! Every time I visit Maui I try to go here at least a couple times. They have the most delicious & fresh seared Ahi burger I have ever tasted and the Ahi poke is also really incredible and addicting. I always look forward to eating here.

  • R C.

    Whenever my husband and I are in Maui, we always make a point to stop here at least 2-3 times before we fly back to the mainland. The fish is always fresh, it doesn't compare to most places. I'm always sure to grab their poke, taco, and seaweed salad. When they have oysters in stock they are so fresh. My husband loves their fish burger. The type of fish always changes, it depends what they catch. Until our next trip...

    (5)

  • Hoosie U.

    Love the mama pop shop feel here. Get the seared ahi tuna sandwich with a side if spicy ahi poke and seaweed. You won't regret it. Thank you Fish Market. It was worth the walk from Westin Kaanapali. I need to walk off all that was consumed. Can't wait to come back next time.

    (5)

  • Huanming C.

    Got their special fish sandwich of the day and sheared ahi tuna sandwich... both were amazingly good! After you eat there, you will crave to go back! However the place is so-so and the price was around $30 for two people. Portion sizes are filling but not what you expect for $15 each dish. The reason I am giving it 5 stars is because I am back in San Diego and for the last 2 years I have yet to eat Seared Ahi as good as this place!

    (5)

  • Catherine C.

    My husband and I liked this place so much, we ate here two days in a row on our recent trip. We tried the poke, fish & chips, fish sandwich, fish tacos, and fish burger. Everything we had was fresh and mouth-watering good. We will definitely return to The Fish Market on our next trip to Maui.

    The Fish Market is located at the end of a newer strip center with Ohana Tacos at the other end. As the name implies it is a combination of actual fish market and order at the counter restaurant. The market has an excellent variety of local fish at Maui "market" prices. The type of fish served on the restaurant side varies from day to day depending on availability. I had both Ono and Mahi Mahi fish tacos ($4.69 ea) on a several occasions. The Ono Baja Fish Tacos were my favorite. They were deep fried in a very light tempura batter served with cabbage, pico de gallo, and their house sauce. This was my favorite fish taco of many that I had on my recent visit to Lahaina. Melt in your mouth delicious. There is limited seating both inside and outside so I opted to take my lunch back to the condo which worked out just fine. Lots of free parking in the lot. The Fish Market is definitely worth trying during a visit to the island. By the way, the Lahaina Fire Department showed up for lunch at one point so this place has to be good!

  • Isabelle S.

    Maybe I got the wrong thing but the fish and shrimp were way overcooked in the tacos. The fresh fish selection looked good but I didn't try it and I think they make poke to order which might have been a better option. I have had way better fish/shrimp tacos though elsewhere.

    I wandered in here while waiting for my fish tacos a few doors down. Ended up having a boatload of $1 oyster shooters with my friends while we waited. Oysters were über fresh. Only thing that could have made them better was vodka in the shooter lol. At $1 each, it's the best bargain on the island lol

  • Jon M.

    With previous reviews saying things like "mind-blowing" and "best ever", we went into this little place with high expectations. They were met...and exceeded. I ordered the Ahi sandwich, and my wife got the Catch Of The Day (which that du jour was Mahi Mahi) burrito. We also got root beers from the fountain. They give you free refills. The Ahi sandwich was insanely good (if messy), piled with deliciously fresh fish and caramelized onions. My wife's burrito was "the best burrito she's ever had" (although even messier), and looked so good that the woman sitting at the table next to us asked what it was and - despite having ordered already - ran back in to order a burrito. The kitchen was fast, the Asian lady handing out the food was really nice, and the portions were big. And there was entertainment while I waited for our food: I saw a teenager in the back slam a four-foot Mahi Mahi on a counter and expertly fillet it in a few minutes. Only Bad Thing: The guy at the front counter seemed a little sullen, like he was called into work on his day off. He also said I could sub mac salad for the coleslaw and potato chips that normally come with sandwiches, but when my order came out, there was coleslaw and potato chips. Meh. The chips were good. Oh, and there are only a few tables out front, so if it's packed just get your food to go and head to a nearby beach for a picnic.

    Amazing fish tacos! You get a nice long piece of fresh fish, perfectly fried. While the shrimp and chips were a little over-fried, they still tasted good. We hope to come again during our next trip to Maui.

    The food tasted great, we started our meal feeling good about this place. However if anyone in your group has nut allergies, be careful. A friend of my daughter was with us and she's allergic to nuts. She asked when she ordered if there were any nuts in the crab cakes and was told there were none. She ate about 1/4 of her sandwich and started feeling bad and then began to have trouble breathing. After a few more questions (the cashier insisted there were no nuts) they told us that they cook everything on the same grill and we had seen that they have mac crusted fish on the menu. We ended up needing to call 911. The EMTs came and then she was taken to the ER. In the end she was fine, but a little more info from the cashier would have saved all of us a lot of trouble.

    Overpriced and the service was not great. Food was delicious, but it's questionable on whether it's worth the price. We had the fish tacos.

    Convenient location to get a quick bite in the Honokawai area. There is a large variety of fresh fish and seafood. The fish sandwiches are served on focaccia bread. The ono burger was not whole ono, but processed and shaped into a round patty. I don't generally order ono anyway, it is pretty bland, but my wife likes it. I ate here a few times, and tried the grilled mahi, onaga, and ahi. All were decent, but nothing to write home about. The shrimp ceviche and fish ceviche are sold seperately. I mixed them together, as in the photo. The soups are homemade. They looked gloppy, so I didn't try them. They had a very interesting selection of "gourmet" iced teas and sodas to choose from in the cooler. All in all, a decent place for lunch, but nothing to go too far out of your way for. Watch out for the agressive flies if you choose to eat at the outdoor tables.

    Food: 4.5 Service: 4 Value: 5 Atmosphere: 2/na We shared Ceviche, Mahi sandwich, Mahi plate, and seafood stew. Food was outstanding, especially at $14 each for the sandwich and plate. These items good easily be $20+ elsewhere (and not as good). Very limited seating so assume you'll have to take out.

    Delicious fresh poke and ridiculously amazing seared ahi tuna steak sandwich. Poke is made to order so it's not slimy like other stores, and can be made mild, medium, or hot amount of spiciness. The seared ahi is crazy amazing, delicious wasabi mayo, caramelizes onions, and fresh seared to perfection piece of ahi, topped off with a delicious onion bun, its going to be the comparison for all ahi sandwiches for me!

    5 stars are for the coconut shrimp, poke salad, and lobster bisque. Doesn't get much fresher than what this place offers. If you don't need a fancy restaurant atmosphere do yourself a favor and get these good eats here.

    I will dream about this ahi steak sandwich until i return. The onion bun is stellar and with the perfectly cooked ahi and grilled maui onions my mouth is watering just thinking about it! We went twice during our stay and i even thought about cancelling our final dinner out to go back for a third time! Did i mention we also took fish home and cooked on the grill, the best hawaiin butterfish YUM!

  • Minh D.

    First time my wife visited maui and wanted to try some good local seafood place. She had the fish tacos and pork tacos and I had the seared ahi sandwich and both were awesome!!! They also had $1 oyster shooters which were very good too. This was good that ate here 3 times and told are friends to eat here as well which they loved too. I do wish they can stay open just a little longed. Price was very typical Maui prices so don't expect to cheap food but it is worth it at the very end. Can't wait to come back and visit Maui and we are sure to stop by again.

  • Josephine L.

    Repeat after me: Bored teenage girls do NOT make good servers. So you made a mistake and said both the seafood gumbo and lobster bisque were available, charged me for both, then realized you were out of lobster bisque and didn't even apologize. Oh, and technically, if I'm substituting the second order with another helping of seafood gumbo, I should get a dollar back because the gumbo is cheaper. Nope. No mention of that. Nothing. Several repetitions and a couple of soup-sloshed bowls of soup later (more napkins please!), and I was finally able to actually try the food. The seafood gumbo is nice and rich, loaded with sodium and overcooked shrimp. Got sick of it after getting only halfway through my 16-oz bowl, and still had another one to go. The boyfriend loved his seared ahi tuna sandwich--I was not a fan. Too many caramelized onions. Never liked mixing savory and sweet. The salad was nice but again, too many onions. Also, the place had so many flies everywhere I was definitely questioning the cleanliness. Do not plan to ever come back.

    Food tastes alright, but wouldn't say it's the best. We ordered the following: Grilled Mahi Sandwich - Tasted good, I liked the herb bun it came with. Cajun Mahi Tacos - Alright, but there's better tacos on the island. Ahi Plate - Fish tasted fresh, and they ran out after we placed our order. We came on a Saturday, right when it opened. We paid about 40 bucks for the three of us.

    Very good pork and fish tacos! A beautiful creamy lobster bisque. Good service at the counter, whats not to like!

  • M B.

    The GOOD (unfortunately wasn't the food): - easy parking - food wait was a minimum once you ordered (15 minutes at most, there wasn't a lot of people) The AVERAGE: - the ahi was cooked well but it wasn't fresh (considering this is a fish market --you should be carrying fresh fish!) The BAD: - ordered the lunch plate and i got days old rice. It wasn't even in a round scoop --it was clumpy! I couldn't even separate the rice --that's how old it was. - the macaroni salad that came with was drenched in mayonnaise. It was so mayonnaisey, it tasted gross! - sloppy jim was sloppy, yes but that's all you can taste --bbq sauce and nothing else - credit card is accepted but they charge a fee of $1.50 This place was mediocre at best and I wouldn't be in a hurry to return.

    If you're looking for ambience this isn't for you but if you're looking for great fish you've found the right place. Amazing fish tacos and sandwiches at very reasonable prices. Fish was fresh and tasty. Would go back.

    Just a hole in the wall but we felt like locals after ordering tacos for lunch and fresh fish to take back to our hotel for dinner. We def appreciated the kid behind the counter who counseled us to share a wailu fillet and not risk a belly ache. Can't wait to return.

    Pretty good sandwich and it was definitely a hole in the wall. I decided to come here and get a fish sandwich before we decide to head to the beach. Might as well make a picnic on the beach. Ordered the ahi and the crabcake sandwiches. One for me and one for my gf. We split each at the beach. The fries got a little soggy but that's just the way my gf likes it. Not for me though. Good flavor but I do wish it was much larger. From what people were mentioning I thought it was going to be large but it was a normal sized sandwich. I'd probably come back if I was here on vacation.

    A tad less heavy, not as salty and in your face kinda taste than Okazuya next door. We had the crab cakes and seared ono with rice. Fish was perfectly cooked.

  • Suzi T.

    The only thing I order here is the ahi tuna sandwich. Imagine ahi slightly seared on an onion roll with lettuce and wasabi aioli, with chips and coleslaw on the side. So good for 13.99! It's not cheap but it's so yummy that it's worth it. This place is a tiny hole in the wall, and on one side you can buy fresh fish, and the other side serves lunch like sandwiches. Not much seating inside and a couple of tables outside for a quick bite in this strip mall.

    OK, first props to Yelp in helping find this place. I absolutely agree with the high ratings too! After another round of golf, my buddy and I decided to check this place out since we were already on this side of the island. Great call! Highlights: - Seafood gumbo: A+ - Poke: A+ - Crab sandwich: A - Lobster bisque: B The fish they offer is caught fresh from the owner and you can tell. Another one to repeat whenever I get back here. Folks, it is worth finding this place!

  • Marty L.

    Ahi poke here was something that rarely made it out of the parking lot: we'd order a pound of it (mixed on the spot) and maw it down with chopsticks before going back out on the beach. Had it multiple times during our 2 week stay, and it was truly amazing every time...a perfect lunch for sure. The folks inside were super nice- we miss it being a daily stop.

  • Kenny P.

    It should be 3.5 stars. More than OK! Yet, I am not convinced to be the fans just yet... Why ?? here it is The service It was fast food style. You go to the counter, you place your order and they will call your name when it's ready. So basic and I cannot comment on anything about this. But I did not have bad experiences The Food It's true that they have a very very fresh fish. However, the food that I ordered which is taco was not that good because of the spice. they used some kind of cajun but it was a funny taste cajun. I do not like my taco. I have to use a lot of chili sauce to cover the weird cajun. but The ono burger and the fish plate was quite good though. I tasted a bit from my friends plate. The fish was so tender and fresh ! that is undeniable. But, the way you cooked and the spice you put might compromise the freshness The Atmosphere Table was so minimalist. I do not enjoy eating here as I feel being rushed by people who are waiting The Location parking is easy and it is not difficult to find Will I come back ? Only if all the restaurant closes or the one that left is fast food !

  • Ona d.

    I had to spit out my first bite. It was filled with meat which would have been great except I'm a vegetarian and ordered a veggie burrito! Turned out they miss-labeled my box vs my husband's. The actual veggie burrito also has chunks of meat- mixed in EVERYWHERE. And shreds of meat as well. I was so disgusted. Their to-go bag also did not come with any napkins or utensils- which would have been ok if they hadn't tried so hard to feed me meat. NEVER EVER GOING BACK AGAIN.

    Convenient to many of the condos on Lower Honoapiilani Rd, we were ecstatic to find fresh fish at relatively low (by Hawaiian standards) prices. Our only disappointment was they were out of Ahi (we arrived right as they opened) but enjoyed some Uku & Mahi instead. We enjoyed both their plate lunch & sandwiches. :15 minute wait for 4 meal takeout. Worth the wait for fresh fish. They also use compostable eco containers. While this was a plus for us, some may find it annoying that there was no bag for the 4 containers (we had brought our own out of habit). Great fish!

  • Kelly G.

    Thank you Yelp! What a great find for my last meal in Maui! The seared ahi tuna sandwich was what I expected and more. Great sear on the ahi, but kept nicely firm and rare. Wasabi aioli with slaw cut cabbage and caramelized onions on a seasoned foccacia bread. The wasabi aioli had a great kick that complimented the ahi and cabbage. The onions just rounded out the sandwich with its sweetness. The crab melt sandwich was also great. It's on the lighter, delicate side compared to the seared ahi sandwich, but delicious nonetheless. Both sandwiches came with a salad. They had a lavender soy vinegrette which I tried. The lavender was surprising strong in aroma which threw me off a little. But the salad came with tons of tomato, croutons and red onions. SO NOM NOM NOM good! Parking was not as terrible as I anticipated. The store was a bit hard to find. If you see a storage place in the strip mall, opposite the ocean side, you're at the right place. It's the southern most store on that strip. Pricing was also a bit steep for me, but like he says...its Maui.

    We stayed in Maui for a long weekend and arrived late afternoon. We chanced eating here since it was across the street from where we were staying. I went it not expecting much and was pleasantly surprised! We got the taco plates and loved every bite!

  • Betty B.

    This food is really good. Very good quality of food. I ordered the seared ahi tuna sandwich with Carmelized onions. Sooo good. I would of liked maybe something crunchy in the sandwich .. The cabbage didnt cut it for me and since the ahi tuna and onions are both soft... Maybe some fried onions would be better? I ordered the lobster bisque which was just ok. The poke was supperr good but the ceviche not so good. it had too much lemons and onions not enough shrimp. I would of like some avocado in the ceviche or cucumber .. Some jalapeño maybe? My husband ordered the shrimp sandwich with bacon and cheddar. Weird combo but my husband liked it. My son had the kids chicken fingers and he liked it. Our family recommends this place with two thumbs up but ready to spend some money here.

  • Armando A.

    This place was great! Not fancy, not much vibe, but the fresh fish and the preparation were spot on! Everyone in our group ordered something different, no disappointments. Would definitely come back when we're in Maui again. Reminds me of a couple places in San Diego.

  • Andi F.

    Delicious, fresh fish! Hubby loved the fish sandwich. I had seared ahi..also fresh and tasty. Didn't love the fish tacos. Overpriced and bland..but definitely fresh! Would go back, but not for tacos. For that I'd go across the street for some straight up legit ones at Ono Tacos.

  • Andrew R.

    It says cash only but they do take cards. You can get tacos, sandwiches or buy fish to grill at home. We had fish and pork tacos. They were delicious! I used the locally made Hawaiian chili water on my tacos. It was very flavorful but really spicy. One night we got fish to grill back at our place. We bought mahi mahi and shrimp. They have marinades to go with the fish so it's really easy. We used a Thai sweet chili for the shrimp and a soy ginger marinade for the mahi (rocked the house), macaroni salad and Cole slaw. We got our veggies at the farmers market down the street. Our meal was amazing!

  • Colby W.

    The fish market has great food but not great service. The computers went down for about 15 minutes but when they were up again, it took at least a half hour. I had the grilled fish tacos and they were worth the wait. We will be coming back next time.

  • Rico L.

    Three words Seared Ahi Sandwich... truly delicious (and this is coming from someone who usually avoids seared ahi whenever I see it on a menu!). Also tried two of their catch-of-the-day sandwiches -- Ono on first visit and Yellow Spot Papio on the second visit along with the Seared Ahi. All three sandwiches were excellent with the Seared Ahi being the best one in my opinion. My only regret was that we didn't have time to try out the other menu items. If I'm ever back in Maui, I look forward to hitting this spot daily. The staff was also very nice which is always a plus.

    So when I found that I am pregnant, my first thought was, "Oh crap, I have to limit my seafood intake now!" This is contrary to most women's initial thoughts like "Yay, I am going to be a mommy!" or "Yay, my boobs will get bigger!" This realization kind of sucked for me, since I love seafood, especially ahi tuna, which has like high levels of mercury or something that can make your baby dumb. Before I left for Maui, I knew I was going to consume at least some ahi tuna on the island, so I deprived myself of seafood weeks before. When I got to Maui, I stuffed myself with an ahi tuna steak sandwich from The Fish Market -- totally worth the mercury levels! It comes with a really fresh salad with a superb dressing. My husband's crab meat sandwich was delicious as well. My friends (with kitchens) like to purchase their fresh catches of the day to cook at home. I heard good things about their butterfish with miso marinade, but it is seasonal. If I could spare more mercury consumption, I would definitely give that a shot. I will let you know later if my baby turns out dumb. Stay tuned for a review update in couple years.

  • Joanne L.

    I REALLY wanted to like this place more, but the food was just OK. I got a Mahi Mahi fish plate for about $12 and it came with the usual rice and macaroni salad. The fish tasted pretty fresh, but sadly it was the macaroni salad that tasted the best from the plate. The fish just had no flavor or I'm not a big fan of drowning my fish in tartar sauce. It's a nice little hole in the wall spot and the staff seemed nice enough. Cashier had really pretty eyes if you're into that! They also give out free samples of their chowder if you can't decide which one you want. Probably wouldn't come back again if I were to ever come to Maui for vacation again.

  • Marc M.

    A bit of a hole-in-the-wall (or better put: a small shop in a strip mall). Parking is scarce, and the seating in mostly outside. But hey, it's Maui - is it ever not nice enough to eat outside?!? I almost did not believe this was the place everybody on Yelp raves about - I had to ask the guy behind the counter if this was it. It is partly a fresh-fish market, but they also serve yummy meals. I had the fresh fish sandwich (I think wahoo?) which came with a yummy side salad. Fountain drinks and the whole meal was $30 for two people. One of the best meals we had in Maui!

    (5)

  • Chrissy M.

    I read great reviews about fish market on Yelp, so we decided to stop in for lunch. My fiancé had a ahi tuna sandwich and it was well worth the price. It beats out most sandwiches on the island. I had the taco plate special with the Cajun style mahi mahi. The portion was huge for a taco but I ordered a kalua taco too. The macaroni salad was really good too for those who like a little pickle juice flavor in their macaroni salad. All the diners looked content with their food. There are a couple of tables to eat counter style indoors, but we opted for the seating outside. Definitely recommend this place.

  • Jeremy A.

    This was one of our last spots on our way to the airport after spending a great week in Maui. We read that this place had some good sandwiches so we were excited to try it. This place is awesome because one part of it is a fish market that locals come to pick up dinner to take home the catch of the day while the other side of the store is a sandwich shop. The ahi sandwich however was totally awesome and perfectly cooked. It was one of the best fish sandwiches I have ever had with the perfect compliments to the ahi. Soft Onion bread, caramelized onions and wasabi mayo made this a fantastic must try ahi burger. We also got lobster bisque and fish tacos and ahi. The tacos were ok but the lobster bisque wasn't really that good, just kind of bland without much lobster in it at all. The surfer dudes as other reviews say could care less about your order, but you're coming to a fish stand basically so it comes with the territory :) Definitely stop in an get an ahi burger if you get the chance. Im sure the other ones are awesome too, I got my eye on you ahi BLT.

  • Sarah H.

    Loved the Baja and the Pork tacos. So delicious and incredibly filling. Service was fast, cheery, and the portions were larger than I expected. At first, a single taco price seems pricey, but from the first bite to the last, it's worth every penny. This place is definitely worth it.

    (4)

  • Cody K.

    Tried the fish market for the first time tonight. It is definitely over rated, probably a 2 1/2 stars the most. I ordered the lobster bisque which doesn't worth a star at all. The soup is lumpy and tasted more like tomato soup w some fake crap pieces. Far from calling it a "lobster bisque". Even if it is just a tomato soup, it is not a good soup at all. My hubby had a fish burger. It looks good with a big piece of fish filet. However, the fish is dry and tasteless. The lady at the cashier is not even friendly like I am bothering her. Thumbs down down down. For $13, I rather go to the next door take out place.

    (2)

  • Evan S.

    I had to try the seared ahi steak just like everyone else. The sandwich lived up to the hype. The tuna was cooked to perfection - not to dry. The cabbage and wasabi were perfectly blended together. Definitely go with the salad and lavender dressing as the side. It too lived up to the hype. Most meals cost about $13/person. Drinks are another $2.50. Cash only with limited seating. Speaking of seating. Don't bother eating at the restaurant. Across the street is a beach with picnic tables... go there instead. My wife had the shrimp tacos... they were just ok.

    best ahi poke ever! honestly the best thing we've ever eaten, as decided by the group of 6. we ate it every day and went back to The Fish Market every day. killer fish and shrimp tacos as well. blew Shark Pit foodtruck out of the water. and don't forget the fresh Ono, Opakapaka, etc. great for grilling! keep it up, Fish Market!

    Great place for lunch. Located in a small strip mall with a mostly take-out menu. There are a few tables outside but they fill up fast. It is a fish market primarily but also serve various sandwwiches, tacos, burritos, etc. I had the ahi steak sandwich with a large very fresh piece of tuna, tomato, and great sauce. My wife had the pulled pork and it was a very generous serving of the pork. Both came on a fresh onion roll with chips and slaw. We will definitely be back.

    The freshest poke on the island! My sister and my brother in-law kept telling us that we HAD to come here on our honeymoon and so we did :) We were the first customers so we didn't have to wait at all! We ordered the seared ahi tuna sandwich, mahi-mahi sandwich, the kalua pork tacos, salad, AND poke. Yes, we had to take some of it home :) The portions are very generous! The mahi-mahi was amazing! I preferred it over the ahi tuna because I'm not the biggest fan of wasabi. The lavendar dressing on the salad was scrumptious and the poke was SOOOOO good! :) Definitely a place you have to visit in Maui - yes it's a bit expensive, but pretty much everywhere you go in Maui is. :) Just make sure to bring cash!!

  • Parmy C.

    I ordered the seared ahi sandwich after reading the reviews. To me, the dish was good but not great. My husband ordered the crab cake sandwich. After I had a "taste" of his sandwich, it became mine! There was plenty of crab without a lot of filler which is the way crab cakes should be. We also ordered shrimp ceviche and oyster shooters. The shrimp ceviche was so-so to me, as it was too sour for my taste.The oyster shooters were good but the horse radish over-powered the cocktail sauce.

  • Maddie C.

    Um, are we all eating the same thing? Hubby and I both ordered the seared Ahi Tuna Sandwich w/salad. Verdict = meh. My Ahi was overseared, and anyways it didn't taste that *fresh*. Not that it wasn't fresh, but it was kinda soggy and limp. To me, that's not indicative of super fresh fish. And it was overseared. I also thought that the wasabi slaw in the sandwich while good, did not complement the sandwich overall. On a positive note, the salad w/the house dressing & the bread it came w/ was delicious. Overall 3 stars for the food, docked 1 star for the price. It was not worth $13, since you can pay $14 at the Hula Grill for an equally mediocre seared Ahi Tuna sandwich. But at the Hula Grill, you're next to the beach and there's ambience and musicians playing live music. At the Fish Market Maui, you can stare at cars and flies while enjoying your sandwich. Not that this matters much if the food is worth it. Here, it's not. (I love hole-in-the-wall joints as much as the next yelping foodie but this place ain't it.) Oh yea, and the wait was over 15 minutes long too, w/only 2 other ppl ahead of us. Verdict = Skip it. Seriously, it's not that good. There's better places to eat on vacation (like the Paia Fish Market, which charges $10 for perfectly grilled fish sandwich of your choice w/yummy slaw). Don't believe me and rather believe the hype? Go eat at Paia Fish Market, then eat here. You'll be eating a 2 star sandwich.

    Best mahi mahi fish tacos I've ever had, fish was cooked perfectly and the taco was simple, not too busy with sauces and what not. The made to order poke was extra fresh and made perfectly, loved it so much ate one order there and then ordered another to go. =)

    The left side of the market is where you order prepared dishes. The right side is where you order fresh fish and poke. We ordered the seared ahi that came with rice and macaroni salad. We ordered mild shoyu ahi poke. The seared ahi came with a wasabi flavored tartar sauce that was delicious. The poke was made fresh while we watched. Both the seared ahi and poke were delicious. Couple of tables outside. We ate at the beach on a picnic table with a nice ocean view. Will come here again when in Maui.

    Make sure to call first to see if they have any ahi available for the day if that is what you want. I don't think anything on the menu is worth getting except for their fresh ahi tuna, but be sure to take plenty of cash.

    We had the Seared Ahi Steak Sandwich, the Seafood Chowder, a Fish Taco, and a Kalua Pork Taco. All were good, but the Seared Ahi Steak Sandwich was EXCELLENT. Next time, we will just get two Seared Ahi Steak Sandwiches and forego the rest. The tacos and chowder were also good, but not as delicious and tasty as the Sandwich (still, we finished everything), but the Sandwich was great.

    mahi-mahi burrito. holy shit. don't bother with the mac and heads up-- they have extremely high priced fish here (greater than $25/lb). Although the fact that while we were in line to order, a bro in flip flops walked in the door with 3-foot long dripping mahi-mahi in each hand makes this a bona fide fish market (with a slim selection) as well as a good taco/burrito place.

    Had the tuna steak and it was just meh...not much flavor, not a hint of wasabi even though it was advertised as having it. In the up side, the fish was fresh. A second down side, I have heartburn now! For $14, I wouldn't come back here.

    We were staying at nearby and decided that we wanted some fresh fish to grill - this place helped make the meal of the trip! When we asked them for a recommendation on a fish to grill, at first I thought they were trying to upsell us by giving us the uku (grey snapper) over the mahi mahi. We got it with the soy ginger marinade, tossed it on the grill - and man, it was some of the best fish we've had in all of our trips to Maui and still half the price of a fancy restaurant. Not the cheapest, but super fresh and comparable in price to getting a nice steak from a butcher.

    Fantastic fresh fish. Terrific sandwiches. Salsa has a bite. Affordable and great for lunch or dinner. Limited seating; takeout works well. Friendly workers and fun to chat with other patrons while waiting for your food. Quick, fresh, and wonderful!

    This place was an amazing take-out place. We were lucky enough to be right across the street at a condo. Had a few lunch and dinners from here. The seared ahi sandwich was amazing, loved it... tacos where great, kids ate everything up.

    Went to the Fish Market Maui with my eyes open, thanks to fellow Yelpers. Chose the seared ahi steak sammich with salad instead of chips ($14) and the fish tacos ($12). The sammich was, indeed, very good. The fish was very fresh and seared just right. The toppings -- cole slaw (??), caramelized onions, and tomatoes -- were all super-fresh, and the mild flavors really allowed the ahi to shine. Even the bun was unusually fresh and tasty, and just lightly toasted. The salad was not a typical iceberg bag mix, but hand-chopped green leaf with fresh tomatoes. So did this represent $14 of goodness? Mmm... maybe. But I'm happy to have found out what all the hubbub was about anyway. The fish tacos, on the other hand, were disappointing. All the ingredients were as good/fresh as the ahi sammich, but the fish (papio on that day) was completely overwhelmed by the cajun spice rub they use. I don't think it would have mattered what fish they used -- could have been farmed catfish from Vietnam just as easily as local papio that had been swimming around that morning -- because they only thing you could taste was the spice (which I found to be too salty as well). Defo not worth $12. Overall, I'm glad I went to the Fish Market, though I prolly wouldn't go back twice on the same visit. Not worth a drive up from the south if that's where you're staying. Note: While the company's web site indicates that they accept Visa/Mastercard, I assure that they do not. They make this abundantly clear by posting "cash only" signs on every available vertical surface.

    Came here twice in 3 days! Cash only. Fresh local ingredients. Fresh fish. My favs: 1) Seared Ahi Steak sandwich was outstanding! The wasabi aioli was the best! Ahi tuna was seared perfectly. 2) Tacos with a cajun mahi mahi and cajun shrimp. If you like a little heat in your food, this is it! The only down side is that service can be a little slow especially during lunch time. Also, it's cash only. Considering it's Maui and how expensive things are, I would expect them to take credit cards.

  • Wassilios L.

    Went there to buy fish to cook, but decided to take out food instead. The plates were freshly made, Ahi sandwich and the Monchong was the fish of the day. Came with the usual 2 scoop rice and mac salad. The flavor of the fish was excellent, cooked just right, the sandwich was generously filled with really good Ahi, so, definitely happy to return there. An additional thank you that they were able to accommodate a shellfish allergy and cooked the one plate separate from the rest, Mahalo to go that extra mile for us!

    Very simple storefront w/ lil selection. But turned out to be our best meal in lahaina, and cooked in our own hotel condo. Bought and cooked the butterfish... YUM! And got the ready-to-go lobster salad and the ahi poke spicy seasoned.

  • Steven B.

    This place was really good. Everything was very fresh. My wife's ahi steak sandwich was seared to perfection and tasted very good. Her coleslaw wasn't the best, but she doesn't normally try that kind of stuff anyway. My crab cake sandwich was a little heavy on the green stuff, but otherwise very good. It was not deep fried like the majority of crab cake sandwich patty's... it was grilled and a welcome change in pace. The sweet/spicy sauce they included on the side (thank you!) was very good. Both of our meals were served with the coleslaw and chips. Their chips tasted basically like re-branded Lay's potato chips. Drinks are sort of where this place falls short. Couple dollars for a soda, and only one free refill. That's kinda janky and cheap considering their location. They also charge $1.50 to use a credit card. I would go here again, just next time I'd bring my own drink; and cash.

  • gail c.

    Yelp recommended their ahi poke, I went back twice! They make it fresh and spicy upon request. One note, the left side of the restaurant is for cooked food and the right side is the fresh fish where you order the ahi poke. We also had the ahi burger, shrimp tacos and crab cake sandwich. It was fresh with decent flavor but their ahi poke is the must have!

  • Helen F.

    Skip the overpriced Lahaina fare & c'mere (just a couple of miles away) for a sandwich (with salad or chips) or poke. Take it to go...there's only 10-20 AMAZING beaches and beach parks nearby with guaranteed ocean views :) I had the mahi mahi ($11.99) & tuna melt ($10.99). Both were superb. The ahi poke was amazing - but I could've done with less sauce (but he gave it to me for free, so not much to complain about). Choose the salad option (fatties) because omg that dressing is RIDICULOUS (and I never say that about dressing). Oyster shooters for a buck - sure (they're from Oregon).

  • Safford B.

    Based on our fellow Yelpers, all four of us tried the ahi. Three got the seared ahi steak sandwich, and one got the fresh ahi plate lunch. The ahi was good quality, though I do prefer mine more rare than it was served. The salad was ok, though the tomatoes were kind of anemic. We liked the squirt bottles of Cholula and Tapatio on the counter. We loaded up prior to carrying out and found that Tapatio was a great complement to the tuna sandwiches. The cash-only stance is annoying. I understand the reasoning, but when you're getting $14 for lunch (and I paid this times four), you can afford the 3% merchant fee.

  • Colleen B.

    I think this is the business my husband and I have most-frequented while in Maui. Never eaten at the restaurant, but purchased from the fish counter numerous times (great for a traveler trying to enjoy the local seafood on a budget). Really fresh fish, and a great, ever-changing selection. Definitely recommend their pre-prepared dishes, i.e. the oyster shooters, crab cakes, ahi poke. love love love

  • Vinay T.

    We came to the area planning to go to another restaurant but ended up here instead because the other place was closed ... and we are glad we did. FOOD: 5 out of 5. My wife ordered the Mahi Mahi Sandwich (fresh catch of the day) and I ordered the Mahi Mahi tacos. The tacos were much healthier than the sandwich - but not as tasty because it didn't have the fix'ins. The fish was so fresh and cooked so well - that we have to give it a 5. It was such an unexpected surprise to find this place. SERVICE: 2 out of 5 I am not sure if the person taking our order was the owner or not - but he was extremely cold ... no Hi / Hello / Thank you ... nothing. Maybe I'm being too picky - but it was a little irritating. Also, cash only for a place that is $10-$15 per plate seems a little silly. I think they can afford to take credit card.

    Great seafood soup. Seared ahi sandwich to die for.

    Awesome ahi sandwich! Definitely check this place out! The reviews are correct! The wife did not enjoy the lobster bisque, but it was the end of the pot, so maybe it wasn't the best that it could be. Also, her fish tacos couldn't compare to my ahi sandwich.

  • Stephanie W.

    Have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally stopped by for lunch. Had their tacos (one shrimp, one fish, one pork) and they were a-ok. Prices were fine, and service was acceptable. I'll definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

    This place was fine, but nowhere near the 5-star level suggested by other posters. My companion got the kalua pork burrito, and I got the fish taco. Both of our dishes lacked some serious seasoning--salt? acid? Anything? It was all just sort of bland. And my fish was overcooked and chewy, unfortunately. Having said that, the portions were generous, and I appreciated the fresh vegetable toppings.

    (3)

  • Food C.

    Fish taco was totally over seasoned in cajun spices so that you didnt even know you were biting into fish, Way over priced for a thumb sized piece of fish, cam with pasta salad drenched in mayo. Slow slow service with stereo blasting what ever the chef wants to listen to in the back round! All around a very disappointing experience . Now I understand why a taco place just opened next store to them.

  • vic f.

    Bring on the lynching mobs... Yes the Mahi Burger was fresh, the two oyster shooters were good, the small Poke was yummy, and the kids liked their two hot dogs, but REALLY just south of 50 bucks for eating off a lunch counter??? I guess it is Maui and everything is flown in, but isn't the fish just caught off shore??? The three stars are for the top grade cut of tuna in the Poke, the rest I could do without for that price...I didn't even get a kiss after that.

  • Dan L.

    REALLY Pricey but really, really good!!!! Fresh fish makes a difference! Had the mahi mahi fish burrito two days in a row! If I would have went there the first day of vacation I think I would have ended up having it every day! It's that good.

  • Stephanie A.

    GET THE OYSTER SHOOTERS!!! You will buy more, it's a great deal for $1 a shot! The sandwiches we ordered were decent. Nothing to write home about. Better than the deli next door, that's for sure! Would be nice if they offered Maui made chips rather than the cheapy onion frito lay brand stuff.

  • M M.

    Five stars to this place!! I have never had a bad experience there in over two years! They have punch cards which earn you a free meal after only eight punches, right on! They always have the FRESHEST catch, and the most "ono" burger on island (actually, it's the only "ono" burger I have ever had). They have Arizona iced tea with flavor (blueberry, mango, etc) in the case, which is a nice change from the beverage variety offered by most other food establishments. I usually get my food and take it to go. The salad dressing is some kind of seed-base (I think I heard them say once that it is lavender seed?) and a good balance of oil and flavor. They use biodegradable containers instead of styrofoam, kudos! I will keep coming back. By the way...to everyone who is bitching about the hours and it being "cash-only"...welcome to Maui. Try living here!

  • Garland R.

    This place is excellent especially if you want the best fresh fish around. Can't really go wrong if you stopping for lunch their fish sandwiches and burgers are great. If you want to grab something for later they make the poki to order. And it is also the best place to grab some fish if you feel like having a barbecue at home

    (5)

  • Mike M.

    Arguably my favorite place to eat in Maui. Their seared ahi tuna sandwich is exquisitely delicious. The onion baguette is super soft, the caramelized onions are an excellent compliment, and the wasabi aoli is the sauce that brings it all together. I've also tried the fish tacos but honestly, they pale in comparison to the tuna sandwich. As a side dish, the ahi poke tuna is also some of the best I've had. Seating is limited inside to a bar and half a dozen stools, on top of a few tables outside. In addiiton, the restaurant only takes cash payments. Don't be scared away though and give this place a try!

  • Angela W.

    great ahi poke (a good 5 star), soso everything else (3 star) not sure if it was because we were here close to closing but the fish taco and soup were just ok. the poke is really great! come earlier than later, and get it spicy. best poke i had, and i had some every day from a different place for a week!

  • Karen T.

    We stopped to get lunch here and the food was pretty good. We ordered the tacos (one of each kind), mahi plate, kalua pork plate, and the ahi burger. The adults really liked the kalua pork. I thought the tacos were really tasty but the ahi burger was my favorite. The burger was so good that we ordered another one to eat later.

    This is the best fish place on the island. They have the most amazing soy lavender viniagrette on the planet - so opt for the salad instead of the chips with your meal. Buy your bag of Maui Onion potato chips at the store. Your tastebuds will thank you! The lobster salad, ahi, fresh fish selection (caught daily)....all are awesome. And we love Jimmy, too :)

    (5)

  • Jeff O.

    The restaurant half has wall-seating only, no tables (there are tables outside, though). However, the ahi mixed plate and the ahi burrito we had was amazingly good. The ahi was fresh, the seasonings were just right. The market half was less impressive, there was only one variety of poke. Go elsewhere if you want poke, but definitely eat here if you want good fish.

    (4)

  • Fernando A.

    Real simple, really good. I had the Mahi tacos and my wife had an ono sandwich. The fish was fresh and perfectly cooked. My only complaint is that my mahi was overly "blackened"with spices. A fresh piece of fish like that just needs some lemon, pepper, and salt. Will come back for sure later this week.

    YUMMY!!! Came here on my last day of my 6 day trip in Maui. I had the catch of the day which was the Rainbow Runner. It was so moist and juicy.. my mouth is watering right now just thinking about it! They put this pesto sauce to add flavor and it was just the right amount of sweetness. I got mine with a salad and even their dressing was delicious! The amount of food they give is just right too. We also got the tuna melt which was also good but not as good as the Rainbow Runner. What's crazy is that we came around noon and about 10 minutes after I ordered the Rainbow Runner, they ran out! It was literally the catch of the day because they caught it that morning. Yes, it was that fresh. YUMMY! I also had the seafood chowder which I don't recommend because it was kind of bland. A friend had their gumbo before and said it was way better. I'm not giving it all 5 stars because of the times they're open! Come on! They close at 7pm?? And 6pm on Sundays?? We tried to go there 3 times and was finally able to go on the 3rd try! They should know they would get so much more business if they opened a little later. I wish they had something like this in Dallas.

    We were staying nearby, so we came here for our first quick bite to eat after getting into our condo. It was open on Sunday, which seems to be rare in Maui. The first time we went - that's right, we went back! - I got the shrimp taco plate and added a fish taco. It came with rice and mac salad. I was surprised that I loved the mac salad as much as I did. I don't usually like mayo based salads. The shrimp taco was my favorite, but the fish taco was good too. My husband got a shrimp taco and a pork taco, and then ate my rice off my plate. He raved about the pork! He is a big fan of pork, and said this pork had great flavor. With 2 cokes, our bill came to the $mid-twenties. The second time we came back, we each had one shrimp and one pork taco except we both got the plates. Both times we ate at the little tables outside. The food was good, and a good price!

    When you go to a tropical island you expect to eat lots of good fresh seafood. However, I've found that in Hawaii, it's mostly about the large quantities of fried meats, rice and gravy. If you want really fresh delicious fish then go to the fish market Maui. We got there at 12pm which was a huge mistake because they only have 1 cashier and 1 cook. The wait took forever but made the meal all that much better! My family ordered the seared ahi sandwich, 2 Ono burgers and a mahi mahi sandwich. All came with salads on the side. My seared ahi sandwich was incredible! The huge chunk of fish was complemented nicely with cabbage and a spicy wasabi sauce. The bread was also really good and might have been a Maui onion roll? Anyways, go early and go often but be sure to bring lotsa money because there kinda pricey... But what isnt in hawaii these days.

    Spending our last night in Maui, looking for a decent place to get dinner. This restaurant is small, they sell fresh fish, and seafood. I ordered the fish (mahi mahi) burrito and my husband ordered 3 tacos (fish, shrimp, and pork). The food is pretty good, simple, not fancy, but good. Service is good, and location is easy to find. Oh and they have oyster shooters....delicious!!!

    (4)

  • Jason Z.

    If you're on the west side of Maui, this is THE spot to get fresh fish for the bbq. They will even marinate it for you and they have ready to eat rice for sale as well. Stop off at the market next door for some veggies and you're good to go for a meal back at the condo!

    (4)

  • Brendan M.

    I had the order of fish tacos (comes with 3) and my wife ordered a burrito. The order cost $26. Both were excellent. For the tacos I had 1 shrimp and 2 "fish of the day," which was Marlin when I was there. The tacos also have lettuce and a fresh tomato salsa in them. Everything was incredibly fresh from the fish to the lettuce to the tomatoes. Also, it is cooked to order so it took about 10-15 minutes but came out right off of the stove. The burrito was similar. It had Marlin in it as well. In both the tacos and the burrito the portion of fish was very generous. The burrito also came with a side of chips. Major downside here is that it is CASH ONLY. Overall, I would recommend the Fish Market Maui.

    The sandwiches here are awesome! The seared ahi was amazing. The mixed plate somewhat less so... it was kinda bland. They also have sushi (which we didn't try), soup (not the best crab bisque I've ever had, but pretty good), and a bucket of $1 oyster shooters. The service is really friendly. Prices are... well... it's Maui, so don't expect a bargain. Most likely a place you'll want to order for take-out, there didn't appear to be much seating. Overall a great place to grab some really good food.

  • Haley S.

    When you walk into this place you sort of think "wtf", because it looks like a diner with less ambience. We trusted the Yelp reviews although we would never have tried this place out if we hadn't checked with Yelp first. You should do the same! We both had the seared ahi tuna sandwich and it was incredible. I am not even a fan of tuna and I try to avoid it as best I can, but this was soooo good. I want to go back to Maui just for this sandwich...the caramelized onions almost makes me drool right now, I want another one! We tried the poke as well, which was a little spicy for my taste (even though we got the mild), but it was okay. Get the seared ahi tuna sandwich, you wont be disappointed!! And don't dine in, take your food to the beach park one block down the street. Great view and great food, yum!

    (4)

  • Phil S.

    It's a tiny shop on the end of a strip mall. One side sells fish, the other side sells take-out. Yet, it just doesn't get much better than this. Everything was fresh and the flavors were excellent. I'd go so far as to say "sumptuous" and I never use that word. :) Also, it didn't come across as a tourist magnet, which appeals to me. It's small, simple and really good.

    (5)

  • Roz D.

    After reading so many glowing reviews, I had to try it. But it was disappointing. The lobster bisque was watery and didn't taste much like lobster bisque. The tacos w/ Cajun mahi mahi were just so-so. I think the market section of this place would probably be better for buying fresh fish to take home and cook in your own kitchen.

    (2)

  • Dustin D.

    We had some ahi poke from the fresh fish counter. The fish was fresh and melted in your mouth. They make the poke to order. You have a choice of mild, medium, and hot soy sauce. I had the medium but wished I had ordered the hot since there was no real spice to speak of in the medium. From the lunch counter we order three entrees. I had the seared Ahi with wasabi aioli, my wife got the shrimp BLT, and my mother in-law ordered the taco combo. The wasabi aioli sounded so good we asked for a side of it the was great for dipping our chips in. :) it was so dang good. My seared ahi sandwich had great flavor and I really enjoyed it. I had a bite of my wife's shrimp BLT and it made me wish I had also ordered one because I liked it just a little bit more than my ahi. My wife also couldn't say enough about how much she loved the wasabi aioli on her sandwich. She kept dipping her sandwich and chips as she took each bite. My mother in-laws taco combo came with 1 each; fish, pork, and shrimp. I had a little bite of each taco but I have to say that they were my least favorite item out of everything we ordered.

  • Cindy P.

    Found the Fish Market based on Yelp reviews, and we were not disappointed. The Ahi Sandwich was fantastic, as was the fish sandwich one night. So, we returned the next night and tried tacos and a fish burrito. All 4 were EXCELLENT! Even better, we tried the poke and ceviche! OMG! They were so fresh and tasty! Will definitely be back on our next trip! NOTE- they close at 7 pm, so be early or you will be disappointed!

    (5)

  • Harold P.

    I could eat here every day for lunch and I almost did during my stay on this side of Maui. The Ahi burger with wasabi is the real winner especially if you sub the potato chips for the fantastically dressed fresh tasting side salad - then this is indeed a righteous experience! You'll be hard pressed to find an Ahi burger that matches this quality and price anywhere on the planet. I tried the Cajun grilled Mahi burger on a herb roll - it was a potent combination, tasty for sure but I always migrate back to the beloved Ahi burger. Watching fisherman heft in their fresh catch on their shoulders to sell to the Market was awesome too. The staff is always friendly and really knows fish.

  • Sandee L.

    This is a good place to get something quick or to-go. We were in Maui for 5 days and had two meals here because we liked it so much the first time around (and also wanted to try as many things on the menu as we could)! Between the two meals, we had the ahi poke, fish tacos, ahi tuna melt, grilled mahi sandwich, ono burger, seared ahi steak sandwich, and crab melt. The stars of the show were the ahi poke, fish tacos and seared ahi steak sandwich. Everything was very fresh. I am a fan and I don't really like seafood that much in general.

    Had the fish burrito and my wife had the Pork burrito. It was a little pricey but the quality and taste of the food was great. Definitely one of the best meals weve had over here.

  • S C.

    Had the ono burger - it was pretty good, although I was hoping for that umami melt in your mouth, can't put the burger down sense that just never came. Maybe needed more caramlized onions or something and slightly dry. Cholula sauce didn't really go with it either - but still decent. The fish is definitely very fresh though and my wife loved her ahi sandwich. The mac salad is too tart - they use the spicy brown mustard in it. In all, it's ok. I might have to go again and try something else, but for this time around, can't give it more than a 3.

    (3)

  • C R.

    This place sits in an unassuming strip mall with a few other options....I tried the lobster bisque and a shrimp taco......it was ok...I've had better shrimp tacos in san Diego..the seasoning was just ok...the mac salad had a little flavor which is better than the majority of the places I've ate in Maui. The lobster bisque was very different..a creamy base, very chunky, hard to describe. It was ok..not bad not a home run...ps nothing is deep fried here so if your looking for fried shrimp or fish this I'd not the place. The place down the walkway Ozuyuka I believe offers fried offering that are pretty tasty. ...the prices are moderate which is hard to find in Maui...so its worth a try if your on a budget and you don't have high high expectations.

  • Chuck S.

    The freshest seafood I have ever tasted. The Seared Ahi Samich was awesome. I went here based on the yelp reviews and was not disappointed. It's a small place inside a strip mall so you might miss it.

  • Heidi L.

    Hands down, feet down, fall down on the ground best sandwiches I've ever had in my entire life. Pardon my drool. Sandwich #1: Seared Ahi Steak Sandwich - [Fresh Ahi, pan seared and served with caramelized onions, shredded cabbage, Kula tomatoes and wasabi aioli on a foccacia roll] Sandwich #2: Ono Burger - [Served with island ketchup, Kula tomatoes, shoyu caramelized onions, shredded cabbage on a Maui onion roll] When I make a return trip to Maui, I'm driving straight to Fish Market for my first island meal. I'm not a smoker, but I imagine that need for a smoke mirrors my NEED for that ono burger. Ugh I have to end this review. I can't take it anymore!!!

  • Arlene C.

    Prices here are reasonable considering you are getting fresh fish/products. Food is quality and portions are generous. Came here while we were in the area and had the lobster bisque soup (would have been better if it was hotter, but flavor was good. Also, would have been amazing if there were edible/larger pieces of lobster!), fish taco (good, and fresh), and the lobster salad sushi roll (reasonable priced and delicious).

  • George A.

    We went here to savor some of the photos posted to Yelp!, but when ordering the Fish Sandwich, it turned out to be "just OK." We showed the cashier some of the photos and she said "no, we don't have that here" and I said, these were taken here and are from your menu. All and all the Fish Sandwich was tasty, but could have used more greens on it to balance out the bun / protein portion. If you must - it's OK, but only if you're in a bind, and in the area needing sustenance to support your beach-going fun activities.

    We heard about this place and wanted to try it when we were in Maui. Really good food. The place was really busy and we had a long wait before we got the food. But it was worth the wait. The food was really very good. Highly recommend.

    fresh fish and sandwiches in a strip mall. Really small spot, bar seating inside, maybe good for 4 or 5 people and the rest is outside seating. i ordered the Seared Ahi plate. came with mac salad, and green salad. it was all about the Ahi. seared perfectly outside while melt-in-your-mouth goodness inside, not well done. came with tar tar sauce, but i didn't even touch it. just ate the Ahi by itself with no sauce. Fresh fish taste good by itself. You can go right next to the sandwich place (right behind the counter) and order fish the way you want it. A lot of locals stop by for fish tacos. if you're ever in lahaina/ka'anapali area, you have to look for this spot. i think everything they have is good. my parents raved about their orders. That is all.

    Decent fish sandwiches but slow service when it is busy. Stoners working behind the counter in the evenings. Really slow and dimwitted! Not so easy to deal with. It is no Paia Fish Market. At one time this place was actually decent but not anymore.

    My first complaint is that they don't solicit feedback on their website. Only a phone #. Ok I'm from Silicon Valley. But it was a mixed bag for us. Fabulous salad and fish burger. But over salted lobster bisque and over saged seafood chowder. Very pricey $20 plus a pound but nice fish.

    This place is a hidden gem with simple yet delicious food. The Cajun shrimp taco lunch plate is the best $5.99 I've ever spent on lunch and you can call in a takeout order that will be ready in no more than 15 minutes. It happened to be in the strip mall across from where we were staying (Maui Sands) and had we not driven by it we likely never would have found it. My husband has had the fish of the day burrito twice now and swears it's the best burrito he's ever had!

    Went to Maui for the first time and with the help of you wonderful Yelpers my fiance and I found this place (right across the street from where we were staying!!). The first time we went I got the Ono burger and my fiance got the Seared Ahi Steak. We split our sandwiches and even though the ono burger was good there was nothing like the fresh seared ahi and some kind of wasabi sauce that complimented the fish so well. We both got chips. I agree with another yelper about getting the salad instead of the chips. The dressing was amazing! The second time we went I got the shrimp BLT with the salad. Awesome! It's a BLT with the best plump shrimp. There was no skimping of shrimp or bacon on this sandwich. The salad was great. I have no idea what kind of dressing it is but I wanted to bathe in it! The 3rd time we went (yes, great food + reasonable prices = many visits) I had to have the seared Ahi one last time before we left the island. It was amazing! Had the salad also, loved it! I can't wait to go back to Maui to have some more seared Ahi. Thank you Fish Market for making our trip a great dining experience!!

    This cute place in Honokowai is a bit off the beaten path, but if you are the type that likes to prepare your own meal (and you are staying on the west side of Maui), then you must make the detour. The store is actually two shops in one - one side is the "prepared meals" option; the other is the fresh fish counter. Confession - we've never been to the prepared meal side; so this review and rating is only for the fish counter. As to the fish counter, it's the best in Maui. We are serious foodies, and we cook at home nearly every day, even when we are on vacation in Maui (we rent a villa and cook). The fish is the freshest we've ever had on Maui. The variety can change daily - they tell us that availability is based upon whatever was caught that morning. Most fishmongers sell tuna that they say is "sushi grade" when in fact, it's not even close. The Fish Market sells ahi that truly is sushi grade. We have nothing but positives to report for this place, and we make sure to visit it nearly daily whenever we are in Maui.

  • Vanessa L.

    Went here while on vacation and I ordered the shrimp,bacon, and cheddar burger and my husband ordered the pulled pork burger. One word: Delicious! Wish we had a place like this back home! Wish I could have tried more items. I'll remember this place for next time we're back.

  • Henry F.

    Is it weird that one of my favorite menu item at The Fish Market Maui is the kalua pork taco plate? Or that I've been a "Fresh Catch Card" holder (buy 7 sandwiches and get your 8th one free!) for years -- and have redeemed countless free meals -- despite living over 2000 miles away? Needless to say, I'm a big fan.

  • Rod B.

    Best poke ever, even though theres no seaweed. My wife and I went back the next day to get another half pound of poke as well as the delicious fish ceviche. Next time I come to West Maui, I'm coming here to buy up lots of fish to grill up. Wish they were open a little later though

  • Reviewerz L.

    Really good fish tacos. This is not a sit down place, they have a few metal and plastic tables outside. Just a quick bite to eat, but yummy. The fajita shrimp taco was also great. The raw fish looked fresh and if I was in the mood to cook, I would buy it there.

    (4)

  • M T.

    Really tasty poke to order. Too bad we ordered way too much (go for the small container) and it went to waste. fish taco was delish. pan seared tuna was good too. If we hadn't already been overloaded with tuna from earlier in the vacay, would have liked it even more! great prices

    (4)

  • Jim K.

    Good food. Ok service. Actually, placed order, waited, waited, then waited. Went to counter, and found order had gone no where past the counter. Once the kitchen started on the order, food did not take too long.

  • Patrick G.

    I gave this place 3 stars, but full disclosure: I didn't eat the food. My wife and I came here immediately after shopping at Supermarket Times (down the street), who were selling chunks of ahi for $8.99/lb. I skipped buying it because we wanted to check out why Fish Market Maui had. When we saw what they had, and more importantly their prices, we were floored. They wanted $22.99/lb. for their ahi. Everything else was around the same price. I'm sure the quality of their fish is top notch, but those prices are gouging. They probably get plenty of tourist customers who haven't shopped around who are willing to lay down the $$ for their product. I'm sure this place has great sandwiches, but if you're looking for a place to buy fish to prepare yourself, do yourself a favor and go to Supermarket Times.

  • Songphon M.

    This is a fresh fish market stand that also sells food items. I stopped by at lunch time and ordered Ono Burger. I really loved the freshness of the fish which was perfectly cooked and well paired with onion-bread bun with a lot of green vegetables. The burger also came with a small side salad and Maui Onion potato chips. All in all, it was a perfect portion for lunch that can keep me going all afternoon.

    (4)

  • Linda L.

    Got the lunch plate, which had a good taco but the sides were a little lacking. The rice seemed a little old judging by the texture. I'd recommend just sticking to the tacos instead of the lunch plate. However, my husband enjoyed his seared ahi burger.

    (3)

  • Stephanie N.

    Great poke! We also had the mahi mahi sandwich which was really good.

    (4)

  • Rebecca O.

    I have to agree with Stephanie I. - 4 years later, and this place is still ono to the max! Their seared ahi sandwich completely blew my mind. The tuna was incredibly fresh and dressed with amazing local produce - all squeezed into the perfect onion roll bun. But their homemade wasabi aioli (mayo/wasabi/horseradish) sauce was the piece de resistance. I could seriously eat this every day. They also had a great assortment of local and interesting beverages, such as Waialua sodas. waialuasodaworks.com Finally, I have to give serious props to the guy behind the counter for handling my gluten intolerant (and high maintenance) mother without a hitch. She was utterly disarmed on our return visit when he remembered her and called her "Miss Gluten". Hilarious! 5 stars!!!!!

  • Kiki M.

    AMAZING! My husband wanted to try this place and I just assumed it would end up another overpriced tourist trap and wasn't thrilled. Oh my gosh was I proven wrong. Seared Ahi Sandwich is the best I may have ever had (and being one of my favorite foods, I've had my fair share of seared ahi). We already decided we are going back. The daily special was good too, some Hawaiian fish that starts with a "P" served on focaccia bread with pesto. I doubt anything compares to the ahi though. We're going to go back, split an ahi and try something else on the menu, can't wait!!!! If you are at all near Lahaina or Kaanapali you HAVE to stop by this place, totally worth an extra drive if you have to. Highly highly highly recommend!

  • Jules H.

    Stopped by here since it was so close to our condo, and it was a great treat. Had a very tasty mahi mahi sandwich and salad, which was large enough to share. The SO had the tacos, one shrimp and two fish. The fish taco was a tad dry without crema or sour cream, but passable with the pico de gallo. Take it out to the beach park across the street and enjoy the sunset while chowing down. :)

    (4)

  • Danny Y.

    Outstanding tacos!!!!! We bought 1 of each of the pork, fish, and shrimp tacos. We also ordered the seafood chowder, which was ok, but was a little too much to finish. From the fish market, we followed the recommendation of the worker and purchased a small piece of marlin sashimi, which turned out great. As with everything on Maui, we found this place a bit pricey, but definitely worth the trip here. Fresh fish is so hard to come by.

  • Christine P.

    Fellow Yelper, Vivian D., did some Yelp homework and found a couple of places in Maui that she wanted to try out. The Fish Market was one of the places and she definitely earns an A+ on her homework. This hole in a wall place was small in size but they're not, by far, small in taste! I ordered the seared ahi steak sandwich with a salad and loved them both. The salad had fresh ingredients and the vinagrette was so refreshing and tasty...great on a hot summer day. The sandwich could not have tasted any better. The fish paired perfectly with the caramelized onions and wasabi aioli. Each bite melted in my mouth and the aioli gave such a nice kick. Words can't describe the taste, this is one you have to try for yourself! Whenever I'm in Maui, I'll definitely pay a visit to the Fish Market.

  • Kim C.

    Fish Market Maui is a nice little gem tucked away in an off-main road strip mall. I enjoyed their tuna melt very much and my boyfriend was well fed by their overflowing tacos. It's conveniently located close by some good snorkeling beaches, so you don't have to go all the way back to Lahaina downtown to search for parking and look for food. The pricing is very reasonable, making it a great find in Maui.

    (4)

  • Jason K.

    Excellent food that is prepared to order (so takes some time from order to pickup). The fish in my sandwich was cooked very well and the bun was nice and soft. The only knock on this place is that there's not a ton of seating. That said, it's a small price to pay for the quality of food. Prices are also a little higher than you'd expect when looking at the place from the outside...but again, it's worth it.

    (4)

  • Jeremy T.

    Good fish tacos. The inclusion of a side of rice was a pleasant surprise as it works well with the fish. Just the right amount of food for a quick and light lunch.

  • Julie L.

    This place is the best! We went there twice before noon to buy fresh fish to BBQ at the timeshare. The people behind the fish counter will guide you in the marinade or rub for the fish you choose. Our favorite was the Yellow Spot Papio with the ginger, soy marinade. Best fish I have had in my life! We also went for lunch another day and had fish tacos (marlin with cajun rub). They give you 3 tacos with alot of fish in them. Too much for me..... my husband had to eat the third one. The shrimp sandwich was good, but smaller. Our friends had the fish chowder and loved it!

    (5)

  • Tiffany K.

    Decided to try this place out because of all the yelp reviews. Amazing! We have had a lot of good food in Maui, but this lunch was definitely up there. I had the Ono Burrito. Had cabbage, pico de gallo and chipotle cream sauce in it...soooooo good! The ingredients all were fresh and tasty, without overpowering the Ono. Came with chips and salsa. The hubby got the Monchong Sandwhich (catch of the day). It was on a soft focaccia roll, with a macnut pesto. Came with a bag of chips. The other side of the restaurant had the market. The fish smelled and looked fresh. They had a great selection. I would def come back here in the future.

  • Picabo L.

    We were expecting fresh, local plate but this this little hole in the wall restaurant isn't anything worth going out of your way for. I had the special burger of the day (marlin), and it was a pre-frozen patty smothered in mayo. Seating is limited to the sidewalk outside.

  • Alison W.

    So this place is a fish market, as it states in the name, as well as a quick lunch spot. The Poke is awesome and fresh! We also had the fish tacos which were grilled and yummy! They do take credit cards but I think there's a fee attached, so bring cash. It has a surf spot kinda vibe in here.

  • Holly L.

    The Fish Market is BEYOND AMAZING!! :D Before my trip to Maui I decided to turn to Yelp in search of the "best" Ahi Poke. I absolutely love that stuff and whenever I dine at a restaurant that serves it, I MUST have it! The Fish Market was one of the places that Yelp pointed to and when I saw that it was just across the street from my hotel I knew there was no way I'd miss it. The Fish Market was our first stop on our first day in Maui. Unfortunately due to the time difference and the fact that they open at 11:00 am, we were three hours too early. We decided to return later that afternoon after we did a bit of sightseeing. We returned around 4:00 pm and to my complete surprise they were completely sold out of their ahi poke. Apparently they make a certain amount each day and when they run out, they run out. Completely disappointed that I would have to wait another day, I decided on the Cajun Mahi Tacos. Soon my disappointment turned into complete satisfaction!! I have never had any kind of fish taco ever in my life. Even when I was ordering my plate, I was thinking to myself: "Are you serious?! Fish tacos?!" They were AWESOME!! Whenever I eat fish it's usually at home, made by my mom and has that fishy taste that I don't like at all. When I took a bite of my taco, I was utterly shocked! Was I really eating fish?! Are you sure this isn't some sort of chicken type meat?! I loved it!! You should really taste the freshness of the fish. There were three tacos in all and I was only able to finish two of them. I was excited to return the next day for my ahi poke because if their cooked fish tasted that good, then their raw fish must be amazing!! The following day we returned to The Fish Market and picked up some of their ahi poke, ceviche, and mac salad. These items plus many others are located on the other side of the store, they are all measured by the pound. We took our food back to our hotel and dug in. O-M-G!! The ahi poke was absolutely delicious!! Fish so fresh that it just melts in your mouth, I was in heaven!! My cousin was the one that decided on choosing the ceviche and I was SO glad that she did. It was equally, if not more delicious than the ahi poke!! The mac salad was pretty good as well. I was completely stuffed and had to force myself to stop eating!! Thank you Fish Market! I shall return!!!!

    This place was really good. It's a little expensive, but Hawaii is expensive in general. My wife and I got fish tacos and a fish burrito, and they were all delicious. It took about 15 min to make the food, and we scarfed it down in about 5. The food was plentiful and really tasty. Try this place at least once for lunch or dinner, and you will be glad you did.

    (4)

  • Michael K.

    Tried this place on my last visit two years ago and it was one of the first places I came this trip. The ahi poke & oysters keep me coming back for more. Definitely a great place to grab a meal to take to the beach or a spot with a nice view. We took our food to Kapalua Beach and enjoyed a beautiful sunset.

    (4)

  • Mrs. B B.

    Husband and I were staying in a condo last May and loved the idea of taking our fish back to the condo to grill or bake. This market isn't too far away from our favorite beach so we always would stop by on our way home from the beach to pick up dinner. They offer a great selection of marinades or crusting for your fish and even give you the dish to cook it in. The man behind the counter always gave great cooking instructions and was very informative. We didn't try the made to order food because we wanted to go back to our condo and eat, this idea is great for anyone visiting Maui! Next time we are in Maui we will be sure to come back.

    Outstanding place for fish. Had the Cajun fish taco and it was very good. It was some kind of white fish. My husband ordered the seared ahi sandwich. He said it was the best fish sandwich he ever had. We will definitely be going back. Prices were reasonable too.

    (5)

  • Laura S.

    We ate here 3 times in a week on our vacation. I had the baja taco, fish taco, and coconut shrimp. Not very adventurous but I would really try anything here and it would be excellent. And a cheaper but still fresh way to eat on Maui.

    (5)

  • Carrie C.

    This place got such good reviews so my sisters and I went here thinking we'd have a great dinner. We realized as soon as we walked in this is definitely a lunch place, especially since it closed at 7PM. Maybe we didn't pick the best food to try: kahlua pork lunch, kids hot dog, lobster salad sandwich, Ahi lunch and Mahi Lunch. But we definitely weren't satisfied since we've been to hawaii so many times. And especially paying for a $6 kids hot dog. Aloha Mixed Plate 10 min away was a lot better the next day trying the fish and kahlua over there.

    (2)

  • JN B.

    Good place, albeit a little over-priced. I understand that Maui is one of the most expensive places to eat, but I thought being on an island that fish was going to be more abundant and cheaper. Oh well... I tried the ono burger that Yelpers raved about; my wife had a lobster salad sandwich. Both were very good, but again just a little pricey. One last tip: If you are planning on going to Maui, be sure to bring a few re-usable shopping bags. None of the stores hand out plastic anymore.

    (3)

  • Joe P.

    Stayed in Maui a week and thought we'd never repeat eating at the same place twice. Wrong. We ate here 3 times! The mahi burrito and the seared ahi sandwich were amazing, not to be out-done by the best poke on the island though. Highly recommended!

    (5)

  • Mark K.

    We just wolfed down an Ahi Sandwich and a Mahi sandwich (we each ate half) -- WOW! Fantastic value for the price. At ten bucks each, this is by far the best quality food we've encountered on Maui, with the possible exception of the Paia Fish Market on Baldwin, but that's a different part of the island. The sandwiches were made with the freshest fish imaginable. We selected the fresh fish cuts that we wanted from the counter, and the guy took it to the back and grilled it immediately. Each sandwich was dressed differently according to the type of fish. The Ahi, being a denser fish that can stand up to seasoning, was dressed with a little coleslaw (delicious), caramelized local onions, tomatoes from Kula (upcountry), and a hint of wasabi. Fantastic. The Mahi sandwich, being a lighter fish, was dressed with very light tartar sauce (not at all like the jars at Safeway), fresh tomato, and shredded cabbage coleslaw. We enjoyed the sandwiches so much that on the way back to the Westin Villas we bought some fresh yellowtail tuna salad, coleslaw, and ahi poke from the counter for lunch tomorrow. Now we're counting the hours 'til noon tomorrow! BTW, this place is actually north of Lahaina in Kaanapali, down the street from the Star Market. It's in a tiny little strip of stores with a teeny-tiny Pizza Hut (yuck). There's another deli three doors down from the Fish Market which isn't as good, though the lines were longer than the Fish Market. Maybe because the other deli has red meat? Not sure. We ate there yesterday and were not impressed.

    The seared ahi sandwitch was really good. The ono burger was dry and they filled with tartar sauce (read mayo) to help. I'd go back for the ahi. The service is pretty good though and the fishes were fresh.

  • Marisa L.

    This fish market is in a strip mall a few doors down from a better-known plate lunch spot where we'd intended to get lunch but then deferred. Good thing, as I really enjoyed The Fish Market's tacos. For $10, I had two mahi mahi tacos and a kalua pig taco, heaped with cabbage, salsa, and sauce. G had a great seared ahi tuna burger. The outdoor seating's pretty primitive but it's a nice way to have a lunch on the go. Service here was non-existent on the day we went. Though we were served quickly, we amusedly watched other prospective diners walk in, putz around for a few minutes, and then walk out when no one came to the counter to help them. I'm glad to read other Yelpers say that the guys at the counter were helpful on other occasions.

  • Blake S.

    Love this place. The staff are helpful and the fish is delicious. The other day I purchased a couple of Tuna (Ahi) steaks, pineapple salsa, and fish ceviche - all were fresh and just plain fantastic. Look forward to trying one of their sandwiches. I highly recommend purchasing seafood from here.

    (4)

  • Patrick W.

    We found this place to get away from the Kaanapali resort restaurants. We drove past it twice. Talk about a hole in the wall place! There were customers there but no one was eating. Weird for food place. The guys behind the counter explained that they were waiting for the fish to come directly off the boat! Talk about fresh! We had the Seared Ahi sandwich. It was a big piece of Ahi, soft on the inside firm but not dry on the outside, and had an great sauce on it. The Poki was to amazing. I think that just the though of it being so fresh made it even better. Anyways, we had a great meal for a reasonable price. It's a friendly "local" place.

    (5)

  • David W.

    This hole in the wall offered a delightful Ono burger with grilled onions and an Ulua special with macadamia nut pesto. Both the salad and the Maui onion potato chips were good additions. This may be best for take-out as there's no view in their strip mall location.

    (4)

  • Johanna W.

    After snorkeling in Kapalua Bay we stopped here for lunch. I got the Ono Burger... It was AMAZING! My boyfriend got the fish special of the day. He said it was good but he liked the sauce on my burger better. Excellent fresh fish.

  • BSC L.

    I asked the cashier what was the most popular sandwich and she said it was the ono burger. I'm glad I chose the most popular! I enjoyed my first ono burger in maui. Not much of a fish eater but my wife is so if she says it was good then it was good :)

    We have been coming to The Fish Market since they first opened. I love how fresh everything is. They get most of their fish from the local fishermen daily. Love the sashimi, taco poke and ahi poke.

  • K K.

    Amazing! Our 16 year old had the 3 taco special: shrimp, mahi, and pulled pork--his eyes rolled back in his head at the first bite! Hubby had the Shrimp BLT, & I the pulled pork sandwich. Everything was fresh & delicious! Returning tonight.

  • Nitin G.

    Fresh Fish is actually fresh fish- I actually saw a man carrying a 3 foot fish inside. For 10 bucks you will get really awesome burgers (easily worth 25-30 bucks in the resort)

    (5)

  • Nolan R.

    Ok, so yes you're going to pay more for a fish sandwich than you probably ever have. Well, in the land of $3.50 2L Coca-Cola a $12 fish sandwich seems logical, right? You get what you pay for here. Super Fresh fish right from the docks. It's worth a try. We got ours to go and came back and watched the sun set from our room. Good stuff. We will be back! Keep in mind...they are only open until 7pm. They're good enough not to have to be open forever :-)

  • Elena S.

    Come here for some of the freshest fish on Maui. Fong gobbled down some fresh oysters and we both had some amazing fish sandwiches. They make fresh toppings to go in as well . . . some sort of fresh pesto on Fong's monchong sandwich. My ahi tuna sandwich was huge and tasty! Prices are high $10-15 but portions are generous and fresh.

    Favorites are .... Seared Ahi Sandwich, Seared Ahi Salad.. dressing is fabulous.. Taro burger with pesto added is a tasty bonus.. or spicy Ono fish tacos..

    wow...spent a week in Maui; went here after reading the reviews on yelp, and i have to agree...the seared ahi sandwich is unbelievable. i went back the next day!! both days i saw them carrying in fresh fish (huge) into the store.. i would definitely recommend a visit here for the ahi sandwich. :)

    (5)

  • Lawrence K.

    Great place to go for lunch. The tacos were awesome and plenty for two if your not that hungry. The seared ahi sandwich was great, a little too much sauce. The lobster bisque was very good too. My friends went back two days in a row and loved it both times. Prices are very reasonable. You'll get a much better meal here than at the resorts.

  • Tina G.

    We came here alot while vacationing in Maui. Overall, great food and service! The Ahi Steak Sandwich was delicious! It had a hint of wasabi mayo added to it which really brought out the flavor. Really enjoyed the crab cakes as well - you could really taste the freshness of the crab! However, I wasn't too thrilled by the fish tacos - they were nice and spicy but really dry. Really can't go wrong in this place, and value for money is great (given that Maui is overall pretty expensive).

  • Mitch M.

    Great lunch spot, recommend take out and bring back to your hotel or condo. We stayed at the Hyatt, five minute drive. Made three runs for lunch last week. We ate crab melt, lobster sandwich, ono burger, ahi sandwich, fish tacos and seafood chowder. All great for lunch and/or cheap dinner. All of it was tasty and decent portion for lunch. Price was right too for Maui. You can also get salad instead of chips. I had both house and cesar. I like the house better, but both acceptable. I hit the crab melt after going scuba diving on Lanai. Was starving off the boat and it certainly hit the spot. Brought back for my wife, who loved the cajon mahi mahi tacos. You can eat there, but it's in a strip mall, not fancy. Better take out and eat looking at the ocean or at the pool with your drink. The deli next door got great reviews for lunch also, but I wasn't in the mood for lunch plate at the time so I kept coming back here.

  • Matt S.

    This is an awesome local favorite place. I just knew I was in the right place as the locals streamed in for some fish. I came because of the yelp reviews and it didn't disappoint. I concur with what everyone says. You won't be disappointed.

    We got fresh fish here almost daily to grill up at home, and it was always excellent. We even watched the fishermen come to drop off ahi tuna right off the boat. They also serve prepared fish foods, like sandwiches or spicy poppers.

    the fish market was overall a pretty good restaurant. when you come here, you are coming for the food as the restaurant has limited seating and is located on a street mall. we started with a dozen oysters which were delicious and had great texture. for entree we both had the seared ahi tuna sandwich which was overall good but didn't taste so fresh (although we came at nighttime). overall a good food experience, and one of the relatively more affordable fish places.

    Great place to grab a casual lunch or fresh fish (even sashimi-grade) for grilling. Prices are good for Maui. Local owners put in extra effort on the food, using local preparations.

  • Kapeli M.

    Has some of the freshest, absolute best fish on the island. Whether you want poke, or to grill your own Opakapaka, Opah or Ono, this place is wonderful. Even people who routinely run from fish love what comes out of here. If you are in west Maui, you need to come here.

    Something is fishy at The Fish Market Maui. I wonder if owners have changed in the past few months? This use to be a favorite place of mine. But a recent visit had reduced hours (closing at 5 PM instead of 7 PM) and a sign in the window saying cash only. The staff was not the same as in the past and the fish looked old and uninviting. Something has to have changed for all this to occur. Why would a business suddenly have all of these changes unless something was wrong?

    i got some really salty mahi tacos, a really good kalua pork taco, and some really pricey ahi. this place may have gotten 4-5 stars if the mahi tacos weren't overseasoned.

    Good fish tacos and fresh fish plate. If you want to sit down and be waited on, then this isn't for you. If you want good fresh fish and an easy meal then make sure you try this place.

    Sooooo GOOD!!! We went here for lunch, lunch the next day, and back for dinner to take back to the resort!!! We had fish sandwich of the day, wow! Plate with the same fish (Mongchong) Ono Burger, and salad with the catch! The fish is just fresh and delicious to eat. Ono burger is interesting but good. The mac salad comes with the plate is really light, and delicious. And...where else am I going to find lavender seeds in the dressing!!! The dressing for the house salad is just AWESOME! The price for the food we get is just so reasonable. It probably will cost the same or even more for that same quality in SF. Thanks to Yelp for saving us again!

    A local yoga instructor happily recommended the fish market to us as a healthy alternative to expensive hotel meals. What a score. We had fresh Cajun fish tacos that were heavenly. We plan on making more trips to the market during our stay to try more of the menu. This place is located in a strip mall near a farmers market and bad ass coffee house. It is casual no frills and just damn good. If you love fresh fish don't miss this place.

    This was our Honeymoon trip. We checked in first and went to the Fish market for dinner.The guy new I was from San Francisco and The guy who works there is moving to New York to be with his Woman. We started off with Ahi Tuna sashimi. The fish was fresh and it was good. then we ordered 2 Crab cakes with macadamia nuts and that was good too. then we have the lobster sandwhich. That was also great too. But we were all stuffed. Then the very last day my wife had the mahi mahi sandwich and I had the Ahi tuna sandwich. they were soooo damm good. I would come back again just to eat there sandwhich. and fresh fish. My wife loved the crab cake and she is willing to come back next year.

    yummy is all i can say. I really don't eat much burgers or or sandwiches and i ordered a fish sanwich/burger.. the best i ever had. I also ordered the tacos and u can't go wrong w/it. very tasty. I love that they have the fish fresh out so you can see them. their soda drinks are made w/sugar cane and not reg. sugar so its less sweet then reg. sodas.

  • Diana E.

    You get what you pay for. Although this sandwich place is quite pricey, the sandwiches are delicious. Nice change from the higher end restaurants on Front Street. We got tired of eating out in nice restaurants during our trip so it was nice to just grab something simple for dinner. Grilled Mahi sandwich is cooked to perfection. Everything was in a large portion. House salad was good too. Not sure what dressing they used, but it was yummmyy!!

  • Jaimee L.

    We went here to get away from the resort food and have some fresh food. We ordered the cajun mahi mahi tacos and they were so fresh and delicous. The tacos were huge and we ended up making and sharing 6 tacos since each taco came with 2 tortillas each. Not sure why everyone is complaining about the prices...at $9.99 for some awesome, huge fresh tacos in Maui, I don't see what the issue is. They do close kind of early at 6 or 7 depending on the day. This is a must for us when we come to Kaanapali.

  • Tommy B.

    After trying a few different places, we ate dinner at the Fish Market Maui 3 nights in a row and lunch on the 4th. The staff is friendly, helpful and seem to know their customer's names. I assume that is because most people come back at least a 2nd time. The Ahi Poke is excellent, served mild, medium or spicy. Their sandwiches are huge! By California standards, they are not expensive. We left each time quite full and never paid more than $25 total. They do not have tables, but ample counter space to sit and eat. Four thumbs up from us!

  • Rahm T.

    Poke poke poke poke POKE POKE!!! Ahi (tuna) and taco (octopus), it's amazing here. If you like it in ten different flavors drowning in sauce to cover the low quality fish, this isn't your place. But if you want high quality fish that they simply spice after you buy it (mild, medium, or hot), this is the place to go. Get a sample before they spice it and you'll see how good the fish quality is - this isn't the tiny bits of chum most places use. I eat poke literally every day when I visit Hawaii, and this is the only one I crave. BONUS: their seafood chowder is AMAZING. Seriously, it's really really good. Get it too!

  • Joanna H.

    Great spot for a delicious and quick bite. We had a well balanced dinner with a healthy and a super unhealthy entree. For healthy: The fish of the day plate. We had the hebi which the waiter described as similar to a swordfish. The grilled fish comes on a bed of greens and a scoop of rice. Very simple and satisfying dish. For the unhealthy: Coconut shrimp and chips. O.M.G. It's BOMB. The fried breeding of the shrimp has coconut flakes, so that you get the sweet coconut flavor in every crunchy bite. An absolute must-try!

  • Carmen C.

    I think I overhyped it for myself reading all the yelp reviews! My party ordered the seared ahi sandwich, a Baja fish taco, fish taco, pork taco, a quarter pound of poke and an order of fish and chips. The seared ahi sandwich was pretty good but not as amazing as how all the reviews made it seem. The poke was ok, probably would've been better if I ate it on the spot instead of waiting till I got home! The Baja fish taco was good-- best of the three. The blackened fish taco was way too tough and so was the pork. The fish and chip-- chips were ok but the chunks of fish was way too big so it ended up being rather tough and the batter was a but heavy too.

    My husband went here twice in one week during out visit -- deserting the beach on nice days to drive over for their amazing food. He even saw a fisherman arrive with a large fresh fish for the market while he was there the first time. The second day he went, I came along to see the buzz. In a strip mall and not looking like much from the outside, the inside reminds me of the look places like Luke's Lobster in NYC are trying to copy. The fresh fish and salads are in a glass case. My husband said he could live on the poke alone. The other side has a full menu of fish and non fish dishes. There's also a full guide poster on various Hawaiian fish -- very good idea. My husband had the fish tacos and the MahiMahi and the fish cerviche. He was in heaven with everything he tried. I had the pork sandwich which came on an onion roll and was delicious and tender. I also had the fries which were amazingly crispy. There's only counter room inside and a few tables and chairs in the strip mall outside, but it's still worth not having a view for this one!

  • Nadia K.

    Great option if you are staying in the kaanapali area and you're in the mood for a casual dining option or takeout. The Ono fish burger was delicious but the calamari steak plate (mongo ika) was my favorite and so tender! Also enjoyed the Baja fish taco that was lightly battered monchong. Great menu selection and they also sell poke.

    (5)

  • Tom K.

    I have to agree with other reviews here! Probably the best fish taco I've ever had. Do not judge this place from its strip mall appearance. The food is flat out exceptional. I got the seafood chowder and fish tacos. Everything was super fresh and the staff was welcoming and friendly. They have tables outside too.

  • Michael M.

    I've only been twice but one of the best lunch joints in the area and definitely worth going off the resort, from the Sheraton Maui and the Westin Ocean Villas to get some great fish at a decent price. The catch of the day when I went there was the ono and the marlin. The ono was better IMHO. Must trys - Fish and chips Burritos Spicy Poke Only reason why it is not 5 stars - Dining in is tough as there is No AC and limited seating. Pro tip: get your order to go!

  • Arlene S.

    We started our meal with a complimentary loaf of fresh baked bread! Summer salad with fresh mango and macadamia nuts. I'm not much of a fish eater so I ordered the beef fillet. It was cooked to perfection and served with cooked veggies. Everything tasted superb! Recommend going for lunch so you can enjoy the spectacular views! Place is a bit pricey but worth the treat.

  • Christina N.

    The first time we came here, they were out of oyster shooters. We ended up ordering the seafood and chips (fish & shrimp) as well as their daily shrimp special. Both were very good. I liked the crabcakes as well! However, after we got back to our room, we realized that they completely missed out on the lobster bisque which we ordered and paid for :( BOO!! Came back again the next day for the oyster shooters and we were in luck this time! $1/oyster shooter. We ordered 18 of them! :D There's wasabi in the shooter, and we loved it. Unfortunately, they were out of ahi tuna so we didn't get to try the poke. Sigh.

    Guys that run this place are super nice. I've had the veggie burrito, but prefer the tacos. Fajita-style bell peppers and Maui onions, loaded onto corn tortillas, topped off with chipotle sauce. The chips and salsa? 5 stars. So effen good. Epic. Don't question it, just commit to their amazing tacos. Easily my fav place to chow down in Maui.

    Great little spot for lunch! Tiny parking lot & slim spaces, so bring your parking skills. Not very many tables, so not great for large groups but the food is great! Had grilled fish of the day sandwich. Comes with Carmelites onions, homemade tartar sauce lettuce & tomatoes. Simple & awesome! Service was fast. Good to our table in less than five minutes. Also have a nice selection of fresh fish of the day in market case. Bought some for dinner! Looking forward to grilling tonight

    There are many things you need to know about this lovely, local-centric fish market/casual dining spot just north of Kaanapali, but I'll keep this one brief and focus on two menu items exclusively... 1. The Ono burger: the word "fishburger" sounds gross to me when uttered aloud, but boy howdy was this thing tasty and then some. So tasty. So fresh. So fresh and so tasty that you won't need it, but... get a side of wasabi aioli and indulge your sauce fetish all over that thing for maximum enjoyment if you're nasty. I did. 10/10 would aioli again. 2. The Kalua pork burrito: life changing. I think I may have seen the Lord on this one, you guys. I mean, for reals... this one probably makes it onto the "top five burritos ingested by me ever" list. Snag some extra salsa/pico that comes on the side, and thank me in a compliment immediately after you're done inhaling this sucker. I swear to god you'll see tastes and smell happiness and you'll be rocking a new outlook on life or whatever. Of note: Not easy to get to by foot if you're in that terrifying "campus" of resorts in Kaanapali - you can walk or bike Highway 30 but the shoulder and speed on traffic's a little dicey, so be warned - but this one is definitely worth the quick Uber or taxi ride just north. Go get some real local honest to goodness good food and don't just eat at that overpriced/mediocre hotel restaurant again.

    This was a fun little restaurant. Totally casual with a beachy feeling. The food is so so good and very fresh! They have a great menu to choose from. I ordered and loved the Fish and chips. The fish was a fresh as you can get. They serve what they catch. The town of Paia is adorable! Cool shops to browse through. If you like to eat and shop, check this town out!

    Still looking for a 6-star option on yelp to rate it correctly. For the price, it is hard to find better. Amazing flavours, great varieties, lot of options. We wish we could have stayed a week in Kaanapali/Lahaina to try all the menu, but we were there only 1day. We got the macadam crusted daily fish with mango salsa (pineapple salsa also available, didn't think to ask for a half and half...) and we devoured the plate. The fish tacos of the table next to us looked also great and the family seem to enjoy as well their meal. If you stop by, you have to use the restroom (can't say anymore) which worth the surprise :)

    Fantastic find! When on an island, eat as much seafood.. but without breaking the bank. I headed here after I built up an appetite from snorkeling (make sure to come before closing time which is 7pm) and was so happy to know it was reasonably priced (they were serving similar dishes for 1/2 the price as lahaina tourist traps!). Food: - $1 dollar oyster shooters - SO MONEY! each one was individually packaged (so wasteful but my guilty conscience got over it when i bit into...) big fat juicy oysters swimming in a flavorful cocktail sauce. oh my god. i'm coming back for sure. - crab cake plate for 13.99 (i think). mmm!! i love crab cakes but usually i'm disappointed that it's too small or not fresh.. nope! it was perfect. a big round patty that was moist and flavorful. they give a sweet and sour sauce to come with it which complemented the patty but it was great on its own. it comes with a mac salad and i substituted the rice for the salad instead. mm, perfect meal. - single fish taco - i didn't try it but my sister and dad weren't overly enthused by their tacos. they loved my crab cake though hehe. - tako poke - very flavorful! almost too flavorful - stay away if you're not a fan of salty soy sauce. as for me, the saltier usually the better. - lobster salad - my sister didn't think it tasted like lobster. i kind of agree; it reminded us of imitation crab meat. however, i still enjoyed it and it had huge chunks of fresh mango in it. - raw crab cakes for 8.99 each - got some because i enjoyed my crab cake plate so much!! Setting: - tiny plaza - some outdoor seating and bar stools inside. quaint place! The place was great and we plan to come back once more on our trip.

    I'm planning to come here again before I leave on the weekend; it'll be my 3rd time ;) Whatever and however they're making these tacos, can put some Mexican places to shame. Ordered the fish and baja, with the latter the clear favourite. Guess having the deep fried component to it always adds to it lol but really, the fresh lime/cream sauce and salsa drizzled, really takes the cake. Also the seared ahi tuna burger another winner, even the bun a bit underrated, almost like a garlic/onion bits embedded. Nicely done. I've had better lobster bisque. It's pricier than most taco places but well worth it. Pretty fast too considering the long lineups. Nice touch with the hand sanitizer at the cashier, eating these tacos can sure get messy. No wonder they won Maui's best tacos.

    (4)

  • B T.

    Awesome! Laid back and well done. Poke made to order is a must try. At $17/lb it's a steal! Fish taco was top notch, one of best we've had in a long time. Trust me, ditch the tourist traps, save some money, and enjoy a memorable meal in Maui!

  • Jason L.

    First visit, I ordered one of their specials: Garlic Butter Shrimp with onions and red bell peppers. I get heartburn with bell peppers so I opted to not have them in my dish. Shrimp were HUGE, but the garlic butter was just OK. I would prefer if there were actually small chunks of garlic to bring out the flavors. Seared Ahi Burger - Quality of the fish was great, but personally, the burger itself looks better than it actually tastes. Wanted to give this place a second chance: Seafood Chowder - I was expecting maybe some clams, fish, and other "seafood" in this chowder, but there were only big chunks of overcooked fish. I wish they would offer to sell this as a half order. I would NOT order this again. Fish Tacos - Good, but the fish wasn't the star of this dish. The dipping sauce and the pico de gallo salsa was NEEDED to give these tacos some flavor. Its pretty quick and convenient, and wish I would've tried their poke instead.

    (3)

  • Paola M.

    Pretty basic place with order at the counter. Menu is centered around fis, as it should given they also sell fresh fish. I had the mahi mahi burger. Husband had the fish plate, also with mahi mahi, and then decided to go for round two and got a fish taco. Everything was delicious. Fresh, well cooked fish with nothing to distract from its great flavor. As a side I opted for fries. Good, but really a lot. Not sure I'd do it again unless I was positively starving. Would go back over and over.

    01.09.15 Great place for a lunch stop if you're in the area - it's not a place I'd travel far for, though. Luckily, it was a less than 10 minute drive from our resort. Started with the oyster shooters and a quarter pound of the ahi poke. Followed by a fish taco and the ono burger. yelp.com/biz_photos/the-… yelp.com/biz_photos/the-… No complaints, no frills, just good food.

  • Linda M.

    If you are staying on the Lahaina/Kaanapali side, this is a great place to pick up cooked fish to go (they have a few tables) or fresh fish to cook. Fish tacos, huge fish burritos, fish n chips, mac encrusted fish, poke, fish to cook. They have it all. The fish of the day varies. My son loved his fish n chips and I had a bite of my husband's really good fish burrito. On that particular day I thought my fish tacos were a tad dry (they had a rub). Also...I ordered 3 fish tacos and couldn't make it to the third. Others in our extended family had fish tacos on different days and raved. Don't miss the Farmer's Market grocery about half a block from here too.

    (4)

  • Patrick W.

    Bar none the best Baja-style fish tacos I have ever had, these and the poke (eat it with the ocean salad) alone make the Fish Market a must-visit - the 5 stars are really for these two, which are rare to find this well-executed. Everything else we tried was delicious, although the other style of fish taco was underwhelming compared to the other dishes. The kalua pork taco was good but the excellent pork is actually better on its own. Parking and seating are a major challenge so try to get there before the lunch or dinner rush, unless you can ride a bike or scooter there. The food doesn't travel well (as some other reviews have noted) so try to eat it fresh on-the-spot if at all possible.

    (5)

  • Robin C.

    I'm not an expert on seafood, but we ate here earlier this week and it was so good we came back. My first dish was seared Ahi with a salad side. The fish was delicious. Great flavor, not a fishy taste. The salad greens were fresh, tender and the dressing was sweet and sour. I would definitely have this again and maybe add one of their rubs to it. Also, the ice tea was nice and strong. Our second meal my husband had the coconut shrimp, which he thought was great! I had the Kauai Shrimp which is whole shrimp over rice in an amazing garlic butter sauce with onions and bell peppers. It took me a while to figure out how to deal with the while shrimp (peeling, beheading...a little adventure in itself), but they had trimmed the shells to make it easy. I would have asked for directions, but they were so busy. Anyway, the meal was amazing!! We had such a good meal we took home ahi steaks to grill! The only reason I didn't give five stars was the lack of seating, which has nothing to do with the food.

  • John M.

    Places like Fish Market are reasons in themselves to come to Hawaii - fantastic fish, minimally prepared to allow the quality to speak for itself. I had the ono plate, and even the rice and mac salad were top notch. An absolute must-try if staying in the area or passing through for lunch.

    (5)

  • Carol K.

    So unimpressed after the reviews I read on yelp. There were a lot of people showing up to this cute little joint across from the mega timeshare/condo things in Kaanapali. I ordered the calamari steak plate. This included heavily breaded and fried calamari which was a bit dry and boring. The scoop of rice was hard. The mac salad was creamy and the noodles cooked perfectly, but lacked flavor. Our seafood chowder was tasty. I would give it three stars. Partner ordered a fish sandwich that was good and enjoyable. It was fresh and rather small. I could probably eke another star out of this lunch but we had such a fabulous lunch at a competitor in Kihei which sets the standard for me for a fish burger. The Fish Market just cannot compare.

    Yummy food and quick service. My food came out within 7 minutes. The people were friendly and the menu was pretty extensive. It's also great knowing that your seafood is fresh. I had the lobster bisque which was delicious. And also the calamari steak sandwich. I enjoyed it, my only criticism is that it could have done without the sweet Thai sauce. There's minimal inside seating, but there are seats and tables outside. Overall this place serves high quality seafood at an extremely reasonable price. Can't ever go wrong with that!

  • Joseph D.

    Amazing poke and ceviche. We especially loved the strong acid and spice of the fish ceviche which left us craving more. Both are an amazing deal at $16.99 a pound. Fish taco and fresh fish sandwich were less impressive but not bad. The fish of the day was mahi mahi and it was actually fairly yummy with caramelized onions. The grilled fish taco however, was actually awful. Very dry fish and tortilla, no flavor. Averaged to a four for us.

  • Garrett M.

    Tasty tasty fish sandwich, and crispy baja fish taco! A local favorite, it attracts crowds for the fresh fish menu. Don't let the seafood limit you! The Kahlua pork here is delicious. Get a taco or burrito for a little variety from your local classic Hawaiian dishes. Unsure what to get? Get a few tacos of different meat styles and share with a friend. The Baja fish taco features light, flaky fish, deep fried in a light and crispy batter. Topped with cabbage, pico de gallo,and a delicious light cream sauce. Light flavors in this taco combine to create a very fresh and delicious fish taco. Freshness hard to come by on the mainland. The Kahlua pork burrito is very filling, yet light with the light dressing of the cabbage. Kahlua pork being the heaviest and most filling part of the burrito, the light and refreshing cabbage and cream sauce make it easy to finish the large burrito. One minor detail I like, is that they melt a little cheddar onto the tortilla before adding your toppings and rolling. This creates a very simple, yet flavorful burrito. I wish I could invest to start selling this burrito in the bay area! This place can get pretty busy sometimes, but the kitchen and staff works quickly and will get your order out to you within minutes. Any wait is worth it. Enjoy the island and enjoy the Fish Market.

  • Sheri H.

    This review is just for the market. During our stay, we picked up some Butterfish and Seabass on separate occasions and both were very fresh and tasty! The market cash register is separate from the restaurant so that was helpful, especially since it seemed pretty busy. Even after the typical lunch crowd, there seemed to be a steady flow of customers. I would say the prices were what you would expect for good quality and fresh fish. I would definitely make a point of returning and/or recommending this little market!

    We have eaten here twice and the food was fantastic both times. However, the 2nd time we all had stomach issues later so we haven't been back. We ate the fish burrito and added shrimp. I'm not sure if maybe one of those meats were bad or not cooked properly etc. I want to eat here again but I'm slightly skeptical although I'll probably give it one more shot. ;) You'll need lots of napkins if you get the burrito but the sauce on it is amazing!!! The place is small so there is not a lot of room for sitting inside and there are a few table outside but it was great for us. Staff is very friendly and it appears a lot of locals come here. I'd say give it a try. ;)

    Went here today based in a few recommendations. In a strip mall but don't let it fool you. Had the fried and grilled fish taco plate. Incredible fish tacos.

    I was disappointed that the two times we came here, they were out of ahi poke. It must be that good! We stayed at the Westin Villas less than 5 minutes away so it was quite easy to get here. Each time there were always people eating in the little space they have outside. First time here we ordered the fish burger and coconut shrimp with fries. Both were pretty standard and prices are on par for Maui. Second time we ordered the fish burrito that came with pico and chips. Their fish is always cooked just right, leaving it tender and moist. Not sure if I would go out of my way to eat here, but being so close to our hotel I would definitely recommend it over the expensive resort food.

    So freaking delicious. We wound up eating here twice on our visit to maui. It's a tiny place in a little strip of stores which belies the hidden yumminess. The first visit we got fish tacos and the ahi sandwich. The ahi was so good and had a really great marinade and was totally melt in your mouth tender. Our second visit we had the crab cake sandwich which sort of tasted like a very fancy tuna melt. The true winner was the shrimp burrito. Once we grabbed lunch we walked with our son to a nearby park with a beautiful view.

    A very good fish market / take out place, but still on the expensive side. The good: Fish quality, as expected was very good and very fresh. Also, their menu is quite large so there's something for everyone here. Service. They were friendly and patient as we asked for substitutions on their menu. Finally, I also enjoy the relaxed, casual atmosphere compared to the restaurants at the resorts South towards Lahaina. The less good: Price was still quite high for a casual / take out place. Maybe i expect too much, but I was expecting lunch items for $10. Overall though, still a good place to go to if you are in the neighborhood.

    Just finished (half) the kalua pork burrito. It was cheesy, porky, and chipotle-y; everything you want in a pork burrito. Usually I would eat the whole thing, but instead this time, I'll have the other half for dinner as it was rather filling. Food took about 5 or 6 minutes, got it to go. Pico and chips were a great compliment, both were very fresh. Mahalo!

    We must have visited this place on an off night. I got the famed seared ahi sandwich, and it was just plain disappointing. The piece of fish wasn't even 1/4" thick and wasn't seasoned at all. My wife's fish of the day was better, but not excellent. The fish taco was just bad. The line took a long time to get through, it is is kind of expensive for what you get. Our meals, one fish taco, a side of mac salad, and two drinks came out to just over $50. The fish seemed very fresh, but this place isn't all it's cracked up to be.

    There are only a few other sandwiches in my life that were so good that I know I'll remember them for years to come, and as I get older, the distinction of being in my top five lifetime sandwiches becomes more of an honor. At The Fish Market Maui, I got the seared ahi sandwich, and it was without a doubt ONE OF THE TOP FIVE SANDWICHES OF MY LIFE. We came here after a morning hike and had to wait about 30 minutes for it to open, but I'm so glad we did. Service was super fast and friendly, and everything looked amazingly fresh. But back to my sandwich...They started with a delicious, fresh cut of fish. It was perfectly cooked and never chewy, and it was huge, struggling to stay on the bun. But if you're starting with great fish, anyone can make a good sandwich, but this place really took it over the top with a soft, yet hearty onion bun, and caramelized onions and wasabi aoili for dressing. The portion was way too big for one person, but that didn't stop me from eating the whole thing, because YOLO. I also tried some of Alan K.'s fish and chips and mac salad, and both were excellent. The fish and chips were the best I've had anywhere, with a perfectly seasoned batter that was a little crispy and didn't fall off, and good quality fish, which is often not the case for fried fish. My only regret is that I didn't come here sooner and repeatedly.

    FRESHHHH We got the lobster bisque and baja fish taco to share to tide us down before dinner. Skip the soup and get two tacos!!! Fish is huge, fresh and crispy and the juices from the pico de gallo and tarter mayo magic is phenomenal ... I want more :(

  • Ceecee M.

    This place is a hole in the wall. Not a whole lot of seating and not good for large groups. Our table had the fish tacos and the Ahi steak place. The fish tacos were delicious and made up for the long wait. Fish was grilled and perfectly flaky. The pico de gallo and cabbage toppings went great too! The girl at the register was less than friendly. No high chairs for kids.

    Ahi steak sandwich was fresh and delicious. Not a fancy place with limiting seating... also try Ono burger.

    We stayed in Maui for 8 days and ate at the Fish Market twice. We loved all of the options for either tacos, sandwiches, plates or burritos. We got have the monchong and ono while we were there. Both were outstanding and excellent portions and pricing. We visited a lot of high end restaurants during our stay, but the Fish Market was the best!!!!! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the seating. Just a small bar table inside and 4-5 tables outside. Amazing other than that!!

  • Zach P.

    Best taco on Maui. Get the Baja fish taco. All 4 of our party rate the Baja the best. We went back 4 times during our week as well as trying fish tacos at other places in the area. The batter melts in your mouth. The sauce is amazing. Large pieces of fish. This is a must try. The other tacos were also great. We just greatly preferred the Baja. Super Casual dining. Minimal indoor and outdoor seating.

    the fish section is pretty good here. service was excellent and they are very nice and friendly. theres a good amount of fish choices. i had one of the fishes cut sashimi style and that was nice. the fish and shrimp cerviche was tasty and fresh. on the food item side, the fish and chips portion was so big! the 3 pieces of fish was a very generous and filling portion. the tacos were good too.

    The fish market was highly recommended in Maui for lunch so we drove out a little ways to check it out. Had a great fish sandwich with seared ahi tune, lettuce, tomato and a cold, white creamy "secret sauce". The bun was lightly crispy on the outside and really soft on the inside. Tasted like the buns were very fresh. The tuna was seared on the outside and completely rare in the middle. That's exactly how it should be! If you're into ahi tuna and you enjoy a great fish sandwhich, these guys will make you great one. Here's the problem....It's a take out place along a busy road. There are a couple tables outside, but there are cars pulling up and parking right in front of you. You don't have a view of the water. You do have a vie of the parking lot and the buildings on the other side of the street. Then, if you want to go to the bathroom, you have to get a key, walk down the row of restaurants and around the corner and then come back and return the key. I guess what I'm saying is, come by and get one of the best fish sandwiches you will ever have, but have a place to go to eat it that is close by. Because you won't want to eat it there. No ambiance, no patio, no indoor seating. They are not a restaurant, they are more of a take away place.

    The Fish Market was right across the street from our condo, so we got take-out dinners and lunch from here three times during our stay. I recommend trying the specials, especially the mac-crusted fish, and substitute the macaroni salad and white rice for a green salad (the ginger dressing they give is super yummy). The place is small and has very limited seating, so we always took it to go and ate it on the beach. As with everything in Maui, go early. It seems the times they were least busy were when our food tasted the best.

    Best fresh fish on the westside! The fish you buy for dinner was swimming that morning. The to go food is excellent too. We ate there around six times over two weeks and always found something new and tasty. The staff has a great attitude too.

  • Psych S.

    Just had lunch at the Fish Market. Great, great food. The fish was just as advertised; fresh and delicious. My wife really liked the place. I had to give it five stars because of her. She got real upset with my four stars .She really liked it a lot. She had the Crab Cake Sandwich. Oh, the irony! I had the grilled fish sandwich. I wish I could tell you the name of the fish but the post meal haze has set in. We both split an order of Fish Tacos. That was a great move on my part...thank you very much! Totally recommend this place. Do not hesitate and enjoy. Aloha

    Incredible food! I highly recommend, Baja fish taco and the fish platter with the sticky rice is delicious. Don't normally likes fry fish but it was perfect. Also, busy all day, they get asked multiple questions but handle is well. Normally I like to eat at diferrent places on vacation, but I had to go back once more because it was so good.

  • Scott S.

    Awesome fish tacos when staying in kaanapali. We were staying in a condo nearby and had this at least 4 times. Great food but it can be a little pricey, but you have to remember that you are in Hawaii. You can order food to go there or you can buy fresh fish to take home and cook yourself. They really do not have anyplace to sit down except for a few tables outside. It can also get a bit crowded when waiting for food since the place is small. They have a regular fish taco and a baja fish taco. Both were amazing and came with either salsa or creama. They also had other sauces like tapatio or choloula. Parking lot is small and parking spaces tight, like all other parking lots on the islands. It is in a stripmall with other places to eat. Highly recommend if you are looking for some tacos.

    Great prices and walking distance from kaanopali shores. I got the fish taco and my husband for the shrimp taco and we both really enjoyed it. We actually went back a couple days later and the food was even better! Nothing fancy...we took it to go and ate in our hotel room. Simple, reasonably priced, and tasty. :)

    Can it get any better than 8$ cup of Lobster Bisque? Hah, actually it is more like lobster chowder but it is pretty darn tasty! Calamari Steak= The breading is perfect and delicious. Crispy and the calamari was great as well. Mac nut salad was so good! Mahimahi= Dude, for 14$ this is such a steal, perfectly cooked and moist. I will be back and definitely try the poke later! Hizzah!

    Last year we stumbled upon the The Fish Market and wasn't sure what to expect except the reviews on Yelp. We tried both the Fajita and Baja fish tacos and immediately fell in love. My favorite combination is the Baja with grilled fish instead of the tempura battered (on menu). The pico de gio and special aioli that is drizzled on the top is so good. The fish is fresh and every bite is filled with tons of flavors. You can't beat the price of $4.50 especially for the Baja. The Fajita fish tacos are slightly smaller but still good. The Fish Market is my #1 place in Maui for fish tacos. Needless to say, we are back for more fish tacos this time around in 2015.

  • Valerie G.

    They have great fresh seafood and the staff are friendly. We are staying in a condo in Lahaina on vacation and have purchased food from here almost everyday for lunch or dinner from the fish case. We bought a half pound of sashimi ahi and they sliced it for us and plated it with pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauce. We've also purchased normal ahi and made sesame crusted seared tuna and the Monchongo and pan seared it. We've also had the fish ceviche with local Ono, the seaweed salad, the ahi poke hot style and the oyster shooters. I would highly recommend this fish market if you are a seafood lover. We did not order from the restaurant side only because we are staying in an ocean front condo with a balcony and wanted to enjoy our meals there.

  • James K.

    Had the Ono fish sandwich today!! A firm fillet with very little fishy flavor. It was definitely good but not the best ever. A bit pricey for lunch.

  • P L.

    Food was kind of gross, definitely had better. My husband's sandwich had a small bug in it, had it not been take out I would of ask them for refund. The fish taco wasn't fried and there wasn't any seasoning on them, the pork taco was dry no sauces whatsoever. Bottom line don't waste your money here.

  • Derek D.

    This place was Awesome! We know good fish tacos and these were some good fish tacos... Ahi was tasty and fresh. I highly recommend stopping here at least once during your vacation...

  • Ryan T.

    If you're looking for awesome tacos, this is the place for you. On my last trip to Maui I found myself coming back over and over again for their tacos. The grilled fish, shrimp, and kalua pork tacos are amazing! I found none better in Maui. My wife loved the seafood chowder, which was packed with big chunks of fish. I tried the fish of the day (mahi mahi) which was macadamia nut crusted with a mango salsa and it was fairly good, but not as good as the tacos (and far more expensive.) If you're in the mood for amazing mahi mahi, go a couple doors down in the same strip mall to Okazuya - their firecracker mahi mahi is amazing.

  • Frankie F.

    After reading many good reviews about this place I was ready to be WOWed with the food. The wait for the food was reasonably quick although it wasn't too busy when we visited. There isn't really any comfortable place to sit inside so we sat out front..would definitely take it to go to avoid swatting flys away and moving my chair for people to get around. We ordered the 3 piece fish and the baja tacos..the 3 piece fish was ok, it was too heavily breaded. The fish tacos were good but nothing spectacular. Overall this place failed to really impress me after all the great things I've heard..maybe we caught them on an off day. Would probably not return and try a different place

  • S H.

    My husband and I loved this place. We came here after trying Coconuts Fish Cafe and this place blew them out of the water. I love that it is also a fish market. I enjoyed the undecorated hole in the wall atmosphere. After our delicious tacos we got samishi. It was yummy. Yes another strip mall but whatcha gonna do.

  • Dea D.

    Sometimes I have a tendency to make my b/f order something I want to try just so I'll be able to taste it. This was one of those times. Thanks to Yelp I realized that a fish burrito was something that needed to be eaten. But I wasn't the one who was going to eat a whole burrito. Enter b/f to take that role for me. I ordered him the mahi mahi burrito and it was so damn good! It was messy, it was juicy, the fish was perfect, so much flavor! Highly recommend! I had the coconut mac crusted mahi mahi. The fish was so good and came with a nice sauce on the side. Not a huge fan of the mac salad but I didn't come here for that anyway. We also shared a baja fish taco and it was so good. My friend let me try her calamari steak meal and I was almost sad I didn't get that dish! It's not something you really think to order, but it was bomb! Do people still say that? Well I just did and it was!!

    10 STAR!!! The fish is awesomely fresh and delicious! Visitin from So. Cal. we get varieties out there but this spot ranks at the very top. Workers are friendly and service is super fast. I highly recommend this place.

  • Chandler P.

    We went here 3 times during our vacation in Maui. The best was the fresh made poke from the fish market. I also tried one of their fish tacos which was extremely delicious. I highly recommend getting some poke togo to take to the beach or on the road if you are doing the Road to Hana. The fish is so fresh, there's no worry of it going bad. I dream of that poke. Yummmmm.... Please note that there is limited seating if you are trying to attend with a large group.

  • Leland M.

    My Dad and I are from California and absolutely loved our meal. I got the seared ahi sandwhich and my Dad got the grilled ahi plate and a fish taco. The ahi was amazing and fish taco was seasoned to perfection. We also grabbed a couple oyster shooters and they were as fresh and tasty as can be. I highly recommend this spot if you're in Maui.

    Puts ivar's in Seattle to shame... And I think ivar's is so good! The fish does not disappoint. My kids fish and chips batter was so crunchy... And so flavorful! So much flavor!!! Oh and can't forget the poke!

    Loved this fresh fish place! Perfect spot around the beautiful honokowai beach ! Hubby and I ordered the baja fish taco and the daily shrimp special. so so good. Cannot say enough good things about it. they had yummy spicy sauces to go along with the food as well. Just wish they had more seating in or outside the place, since it got really busy at lunch time and we had people hovering at our table, waiting for us to leave .

  • Lisa B.

    Wish I could give this place 10 stars. So so good. We come here every year for fish to grill, and this year we were there nearly every day. If the fish were any fresher, it would be flopping off the plate. While we love the fish burger and clam chowder served there, there is no match for the fresh, made to your own desired spice level, poke with their homemade tortilla chips. Also a first for us this year was the lobster salad. So rich and flavorful. In addition, I made a Thai fish soup and the folks that work there picked the perfect fish for me to use. Always friendly and very knowledgable. Melanie served us with a smile and kept us coming back all week. We stopped by for various things five times during our 10 day stay. YUM!!!

  • Terry M.

    I came here based on the rave reviews about the Seared Ahi Steak sandwich. After looking at the photos on yelp, we ordered four for the family. It was absolutely delicious. Even my youngest daughter ate the whole thing. The Maui style chips were a were a bit of a grease trap so we discarded these but the rest was excellent. The "restaurant" is more of a store with a few tables outside. I loved this as it makes a pleasant change from the norm. You can also buy fresh uncooked fish and salads here if you want to make your own creations. We will certainly be back for more. I'll probably go for the burrito next time. UPDATE: We went back for the burritos and got the fish of the day (mahi mahi) and shrimp burritos. The shrimp was good but the mahi mahi was magic. The side salsa was very fresh and delicious. We also loved the hot sauce. Take loads of napkins as it's a bit of a messy feast.

    Incredible. My wife and I have been to Maui the past 4 years and have made it a point to come to The Fish Market multiple times on our vacations. Seared ahi sandwich and crab cake sandwich are excellent!

    Special of the day- encrusted ahi with rice and amazing macaroni salad!! They never disappoint here!!

  • Sammie B.

    Had to try the seared ahi sandwich everyone on here was talking about. The ahi is on an onion bun with lettuce, tomatoes and caramelized onions. It was pretty good but I thought it was going to be better. Wanted to try the made to order ahi poke but they were out (came on a Sunday around 4 PM). With all the food options on Maui, I probably wouldn't return except to try the ahi poke.

  • Jim W.

    Wow the flavors are amazing. I come from San Diego where we take pride in our fish/Mexican. This is on par or better than anything at home. I had the fish burrito (catch of the day), it is a little messy but of flavor. I also got the crab cakes which were pretty good as well. This was also right by our timeshare so even better than having to drive to Lahina.

  • Cheryl W.

    Beyond 5 stars! I catch myself looking at this yelp page ( ALOT) because I miss it so much! If I could eat at a restaurant the rest of my life this would be it. Tip top fresh seafood food and to the point business. I don't even care about service or ambience here! Tuna poki is the best thing ever! Pictures don't lie here. I will be back !!! Wish you were in the main land :(

  • Caroline K.

    The first trip, shared the Baja fish taco, shrimp fajita taco, and the shrimp burrito. All were awesome! The fish and shrimp were cooked perfectly...succulent and moist! Super fresh, super yummy!!! Great balance of flavors and textures...even the tortilla chips (comes with the burrito) were delish! I came back the next day and had the shrimp burrito again...it was better than I remembered and I didn't want to share...but I did. I wish I would have found this place sooner!

    (4)

  • Adam T.

    Ordered the fish burrito and was pleasantly surprised. Tortilla was soft and chewy, and grilled a little to add texture. Fish was plentiful, sauce level was appropriate and other items like cabbage and pico were flavorful and of a respectful proportion. Chips were legit. Thick, probably fried in house. Didn't try the pico provided for the chips. One of the better fish based Mexican items I've had in recent memory. Worth going out of your way a bit to try.

    This place is a hidden gem, best grilled fish tacos in Maui hands down. Make sure to get a side of Baja sauce.

    The fish market was one of the best. Their poke was so fresh and everything we ordered was perfectly made. My only regret was I didn't find this market until our last two days. The fish was fresh and the service was great.

    The fish taco was great. The Kalua pork taco was probably the best I've had anywhere. My wife let me taste the ahi plate she ordered which was equally perfect.

    We stopped here for lunch on the way back from the beach. The Ono fish sandwich was amazing! The Baka fish tacos were wonderful as well. The pork tacos were decent, but I would stick to the fish entrees. Each item came with Mac salad and rice. The Mac salad was great as well.

    Great place to eat, would've given it 4.5 star but minus .5 for not having sriracha rooster sauce. We had the seared ahi and kalua pork plate. We will return for the ahi poke that we missed

  • Jen H.

    I'm a pretty firm believer that good food is really only good if the service is great as well. We came in and ordered the seared ahi sandwich and the Baja fish tacos. The very nice lady told us it would be a 15 minute wait. We waited and waited. We noticed the couple that came in after us got their food before we do and they ordered the exact same thing. So when we followed up, turns out they forgot out order. I was really hoping the food would make up for the service. I don't think my sandwich came out "seared"..not sure if we needed to ask them to not cook the fish as much but it was dry and chewy. Definitely not the happiest of campers right now.

    Came here cus it was close to the hotel and read good reviews so here's another! Awesome location, close to Kanapali, it has a little indoor and more outdoor seating. The people here are cool and full of personality! The options are fairly wide for them being a fish market & they have cool options as sides that kinda cover all taste buds! I got their fish if the day sandwhich which was Ahi! It was baked to perfection and it came with their homemade potatoe chips & coleslaw. Both were good but the potatoe chips are the bomb! Their fish and chips were also delicious with their panko crusted outside, they serve them on the top of skinny cut fried which were delish! The location is random but the good is what keeps this place poppin! Seems like the crow new we goes away so that's always a good thing in my book! Definitely a one to try, prices vary but then again they are fish!

  • Juan G.

    This only on the meat market side. Great Ahi and Taro Poke!!! We ate this almost every day we were here. The second best item is the Oyster Shooters! At $1 each it made it easy to have 10 in one sitting. All seafood is fresh here, there is no "fishy" smell to the place nor to any of their food items. It does get busy on their restaurant side but they are friendly and get order done fast.

    No pics as we couldn't wait to eat after a morning of snorkeling Honolua Bay. The baja taco (Mahi Mahi) today and the grilled shrimp tacos were incredible. We also got a side of tortilla chips and pico and got it all to go. We thoroughly enjoyed all of it and would recommend several visits depending on your length of stay on Maui. If I lived here I would be at this place several times a week!

  • Casual B.

    A little confused why so pricey. Don't get the Mexican food all over town now. Clean and fresh. The cuts of fish were a bit hacked. Perhaps they gaffed it. I would be happy to pay for nicer cuts. Maybe they were down to the end of supply. The boats were pulling in Ono, Mahi Mahi all over the place. So maybe I come back.

    Fresh fish, delicious! Best tacos and super fresh fish! I highly recommend! We are here 3 times in 1 week. They sometimes carry Opah which is amazing good and they have ceviche, crab cakes, etc. Always full for a reason!

  • Janet P.

    Excellent! The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the French fries. Dh liked them, but I like them crispy shoe string. These were not crispy and they were just ok. Everything else was great. Fish and chips perfect and fish was soo fresh. Fish tacos amazing tasty and fresh. Mac salad very good right thickness not runny , just it was sweeter than I like my Mac salad but again very good. Definitely will go back. Only complaint stay open til 8. We got there just before they were closing at 7 and saw people turned away. We Luckily got served. We ordered and waited about 15-20 min. Took food to condo and ate there. There are tables but felt best to eat at our nice condo and chill.

  • Sarah S.

    I wanted to be WOWed here, I did not. Neither my husband nor myself even finished the food we got from here. I got take out, the kalua pork plate for myself and my husband had the fish and shrimp with chips combo. I also ordered the lobster bisque and a baja fish taco for myself. The good? The fried shrimp from the combo, the fries. The okay? the fried fish. The bad? The Kalua pork (okay, I get it...I ordered pork from a fish place. I should have known), the fish taco and the lobster bisque. I would not come here again. It just completely failed to impress me.

    Best. Fish. Ever. We are frequent customers of The Fish Market whenever we are on the island. We usually get fresh fish (especially Tuna) and cook at home, but love the plates and sandwiches. I think the fish tacos are the best on the island.

    We stayed at the resort down the street and wanted really good, local seafood. This place was swarming with tourists and locals alike. Had the BEST shrimp burrito I've ever had in my life. My wife had their fish tacos...also amazing. A must eat if you are in the north Kanapalli area!

  • Fred I.

    Being from So Cal, I can say their shrimp burrito is legit. Shrimp is big, fresh n juicy, nice slightly sweet/mayo-y sauce n just how I like it - no beans! Comes with fried tortilla chips n salsa - so good you'll want a basket of them. $12 Also tried the Ahi steak sandwich. Also fresh with the ahi, has tomato n shredded lettuce. Looks big but is light. Helps that it comes with fried potato chips and coleslaw! Shrimp burrito much more flavor. The bottled hot sauce is spicy hot n tangy - just like what you'll find in so cal. I just sold you 100 more shrimp burritos Fish Market of Maui - you're welcome.

    Traveled to Maui with my family and found this place via yelp. The food is so fresh and delicious! Everything I had there, I'm pretty sure I fell in love with. I think I mainly want to travel back to Maui JUST to get their Spicy Ahi poke again. One of my favorite places anywhere.

    One day, I got the seared ahi sandwich. So ono. Almost as good as the one at Leoda's. Another day I got the fish tacos. These were so fresh and tasty. The menu is pretty extensive...and next time I'm getting everything on it. No joke. Mahalo.

  • James H.

    While every taco on this island is commanding the same $4 premium, this place is easily the only spot that is worth the money. I had the regular fish taco which had a giant slab of grilled fish it in. The baja is the one that's fried but didn't get a chance to try because we splurged on oyster shooters (only $1 but are AMAZING). I tried the calamari and coconut shrimp which were just alright, though the teriyaki dip (or whatever it is) really adds some flavor to the two. The fries were delicious too. Overall one of the best meals we had in Maui. We were a party of 6 so we sat at the stools inside. There are about 3 tables outside big enough for 2-4.

    Great fish and chips, and fish tacos. Went here twice while in Maui. Highly recommended!

    The staff are pretty depressing here !!! No smile, not social at all ! Pretty expensive meal and not as good as some other places we tried in Maui. Lobster bisque was very very salty. The other things we had were fine (coconut shrimp, marlin burger), but 3 stars for the staff and the bisque.

    Sigh... I came here wanting to try their seared ahi burger (after reading so many reviews) but they ran out. Boo.. But I did try their fish taco. I forgot what type of fish it was. I remember it being ok to good (in between). The place is small and the service was ok.

    Ahhhh so good. Hands down just as good as the fancy restaurants, without the eye opening priciness. Their price point is fair given the freshness (and deliciousness) of the product they serve. I got the seared ahi sandwich and subbed the coleslaw for mac salad instead- good choice on both ends. The ahi was so fresh it was practically melting in my mouth. There was a great horseradish/mayo tasting combo they dressed it with that set it off too. Generous portions. Husband got fish tacos (mahi mahi) and he fell in love. We traded bites and eagerly gave each other 2 thumbs up. Nom nom yum yum goodness. Let's put it this way. Their fish is so fresh we saw a guy walk in with a fresh caught Ono from that morning. Twenty minutes later he walked out with a check. Now that's fresh. It's cool because they really do function as a fish market on top of a casual fish dining place. Someone walked in and asked for 7 filets of the fresh Ono right then and there. My only complaint would be the teenage girl at the counter. She seemed pretty distracted and hurried for some reason. I got one word answers after asking a few things about the menu. Also we walked in and stood there for a few minutes before we even realized she was at the counter, she was just hidden behind the register screen on her cell phone. No greeting or anything. Maybe she's related to the owners, I dunno. That would be the only reason they get 4, not 5. My mouth is watering when I remember how goooood the food is though! We will definitely return next time we are in Maui.

    You really can't find better seafood in West Maui than this place. You'll barely pay $15 for the best/freshest fish tacos in Maui and the pico and sauce are unlike anything you'll find. I went back 3 times while there. Make sure to try the seafood chowder too!

  • Tiana H.

    All I wanted was a piece of grilled fish and the counter guy said "we don't just sell a piece of fish you have to buy something else or we don't make money" well then raise the price of a single piece... after all it is a fish market. Being a local business owner myself I would have handled it differently.

    Great place! Had fish tacos. They were great, fish was moist and flavorful. Wife insisted I go back and order the uncooked fish( it's actually a fish market). Got the butter fish with Mac nut crust and miso marinade (semi knock off of Roy's butterfish, if you've been there, never mind if you haven't ) Also got the monchong with Thai chili butter...got a couple of scoops of rice and Mac salad. Baked the fish at 425 for twenty minutes...and it was awesome!

    love the food... minus the flies. The fish tacos were too soggy... Just ate the fish. The fish burger was good & flavorful. The exciting part was someone coming in with a 4 ft fish in hand.... ready for some more food. Definitely will be here again within a day or two :) Almost forgot but love the seaweed salad.

    If you are going to go out to eat at one restaurant (you're in Maui, you'll probably be going out many times, but for sake of example...) GO HERE! This was my family's favorite restaurant stop while on vacation last year, as well as this year. The food here is out of this world. You may just get to watch an employee fillet a marlin while you're enjoying your fish tacos. This restaurant is as 'sea to table' as it gets. The Fish Market staff are experts when it comes to seasonings and flavors in their sauces and marinades. Bag of Lays chips with your entree? Nope, not here- how about homemade chips?! All I can say, is Heaven in every bite! The atmosphere is fun, we already covered the food, and the price is very fair. Already missing it. Sigh. P.S. We actually had two favorite restaurants in (West) Maui, the other is The Shark Pit food truck about a mile away from the Fish market which I highly recommend as well. Plan these two restaurant outings during your vacation if you prefer getting away from chains and crave really.good.food.

    I had the poke. Ah I poke was good. Made medium spicy. Fresh, tasty. The fish burrito was good. Place is busy. We had to wait about 15 mins for food. Limited parking and even limited seating. We found a beach with park benches about 100 feet from the place and sat the I and ate. Very pretty lunch. I recommend this place if you want fresh seafood in casual settings the staff were very friendly.

  • Alicia S.

    This place is delicious. Fries rocked. I had the crab cake sandwich and it was amazing--fresh, filling and flavorful. The crab cake would have been amazing on it's own! My husband got the Baja fish taco and it was incredible. Great casual dinner place. A woman even said "yummy yummy" as we were walking in which tells you it has to be good. I can't guarantee a woman will say the same as you enter, but I hope your eating experience will be as delicious as mine!

  • Gwen B.

    We stumbled on this fish market. We were starving, dropped off the suit cases and just wanted food that would be quick. What a surprise as the staff is so friendly and the fresh food is available for purchase. We purchased Fish tacos and I have never had a better one, their jalapeno sauce make it the best we have ever eaten and we live near the coast in Texas. We ended up noticing the same faces over and over and then were told by many that they have vacationed in the area for over 30 years and this is the best hidden treasure on the island. We ended up eating multiple times there and taking food to go so we could eat it on the beach. I saw a negative post but if you let the folks know you don't like it they would quickly fix the problem, I am sure of that. Can't wait to go back!

    Hello paradise, this place was my FAVORITE meal in Maui. I want to give this place 10 stars. I ate a lot of great food in Maui, both mixed plates & fancy farm to table. This hole in the wall was the best!! This is an actual fish market, not a place that has "Fish Market" in their name and doesn't sell fresh fish. The real deal is always the way to go... Some of my fave places to eat are fish markets. You won't get seafood any fresher than off a boat or a really good fish market. I live in Seattle & can rattle off a list of amazing fish markets to eat at. I knew it was going to be good when a customer was picking up a whole, fresh caught fish that she ordered earlier in the day. It was only 3pm and they were already out of some fresh fishes and Pokes in the seafood market. The restaurant had 4 different specials that had me salivating. And the menu had so many great choices it was difficult to chose. I love trying specials and decided on the Coconut crusted, fresh caught Mahi with Coconut Sauce (included the standard mac salad & rice). My man ordered another special: Fresh caught, Kauai pink prawns sauteed in Cajun spices with peppers & onions. We ordered to go since there are a million spots along the beach to eat instead of the limited space at the fish market. The coconut crusted mahi was mind blowing!! They put the coconut sauce on the side so the fish wasn't soggy. Mahi was cooked perfectly and the coconut sauce was to die for. It could have been put on any fish, pork or chicken dish it was that perfect. I wasn't a fan of mac salad until I ate theirs. You can tell they use a nice stone ground mustard because the taste had a refreshing zing and wasn't heavy or bland. The Cajun Kauai prawns were another masterpiece. Nice, oh-so-tender, fresh prawns with the heads on. For some people it may be too much, but this Hapa loves the prawn heads. Who cares about fries, I usually don't, but they had some perfectly fried taters too. This meal would have cost a pretty penny at a nice, farm to table place. I'm still blown away at how inexpensive it was for such a complex, beautiful meal. I'm also mad at my boyfriend for not letting me eat there before we left Maui. He said we couldn't eat at the same place twice (stupid rule). So he insisted we go to a "Fish Market" in Paia and claimed that it would be better than this place because that's what he read in some lame guidebook. I don't read guidebooks because I don't know who these people are giving their suggestions for my vacation. Let's just say that he wishes he would have listened to me because I'm still mad and that place in Paia is NOT a fish market and had terrible food. And he agreed...I miss you mucho Fish Market Maui. You'll be the first place I eat at when I come back in the fall/winter. In the meantime I'll stay mad at my boyfriend!!!

    Order the ahi poke and the fish of the day. You won't regret it. Fish of the day we had was ono. Steaky texture but delicate and mild flavor. Plate comes with rice and macaroni salad. This was alot of food--two people can share in 1 fish of the day special and ahi poke. I recommend taking it across the street and a couple of blocks north to a nearby park-beach.

    We've eaten lunch here 2x this week. Fish tacos were very good but 2nd time, I got the Baja fish taco & it was amazing! I luv shrimp tacos & theirs is good, but not amazing like the Baja fish taco. I think the dif is the creama sauce on Baja vs red sauce on shrimp. Next time I'll ask for shrimp taco fixed Baja style to go w my Baja fish taco! My hub liked his calamari steak sandwich & fries. Not cheap, our lunch was appx $30 for sand, 2 tacos & 2 ice teas for take-out food. Staff are friendly & efficient. Despite the limited & tight parking & few outside tables to sit & eat, it's still one of our fav casual places to eat in Kaanapali area.

    Nice small place close to all the resorts. We stayed at Aston Mahana and it was a 1 minute car ride. The service was great! People were friendly, singing, and just a really happy atmosphere. On one side you can order your food. The other side is to purchase fish to take home. We ordered the Mahi entree plate and it came with a 6oz grilled filet with a big scoop of mac salad and rice for $14. The fish was good, but nothing amazing. I may be bias because there is a favorite spot back home in San Diego that I love more. The mac salad was good even though I'm not a huge fan of mac salad in general. It had a citrus taste and too rich with mayo for me. My husband on the other hand loved it. We also ordered a seafood chowder and it had chunks of fish in it. They do give you a big bowl of it. Again, my husband loved it and I thought it was fine.

  • Liza K.

    I got Ahi Burger as many people suggested. Hate to say...It was edible not enjoyable. Engulfed in a thick onion bun of which I could not enjoy the freshness of the fish so I picked it apart. I swear the pictures look damn good..but the flavors just were not there for me. The salad dressing was a citrus lavender. I'm weary of most things lavender whether it be soap, perfume, chocolate, or the flower itself. But I braved it and I was right. Still can't buy into lavender in my food. Feels like I'm eating grandma. Not to be confused for "I'm eating, grandma" Definite happiness was the $1 oyster shooters. I should have just ordered a dozen of those for lunch. They were excellent! can't beat the price, and they come neatly prepackaged for a quick snack.

    Obviously our experience deviated from the norm. We got two fish tacos and a grilled ahi sandwich. Halfway through the sandwich I bit into a totally raw shrimp -- disgusting, and made me concerned about food poisoning. My wife got baja fish tacos, which were inedibly undercooked. This place salvaged one star by refunding part of our money, but our visit was completely negative.

    Really good food. We ate there three times in our week long stay in Kapalua. If you want really good seafood and you want to do it on a budget this place is a must.

    I am vacationing from California where we have some of the best tacos. I just had the best taco hands down at the fish market! The fish taco was excellent, but the pork was amazing!! I had fajita style pork tacos with a drizzle of Chipotle cream, WOW!! I had them for dinner last night and guess what I'm having for lunch! Yes, pork at a fish market:-)

  • Kevin N.

    By far BEST FISH TACOS I had ever! Although I am 14 and I hate eating fish at home, this FRESH fish made me want to eat it at home! It was fresh, flavorful, and my actual first Fish Taco in my life. Now that may tell you I am not good at tasting fish tacos but to me, it was the most fresh and grilled I have ever seen and tasted. A MUST GO food (Lunch) destination for travelers and experienced taco and fish lovers. As for the price, not bad for the quiality. Worth it. Outstanding.

    The fish market has excellent fresh fish and great fish tacos, burritos, etc. They will also sell you the rubs and/or marinades. (The sesame/teriyaki is best.) We tend to go here at least three times a week for a fresh caught piece of fish for the evenings BBQ. It's a 15 min round trip from the Westin.

  • Lindsey G.

    Hands down THE best ahi poke and Baja fish tacos I've ever had. The pieces of fish are huge, and perfectly fried. The slaw is fresh and the Baja sauce compliments the fish perfectly. The poke is made to order with fresh onions and can be made as mild or spicy as you like. It's so fresh it practically melts in your mouth. Yummy!!!!!!

    My husband and I thought the food The Fish Market was fabulous. Definitely come here if you need a quick bite on the go when you're in Lahaina and love fresh fish! We tried the seared ahi sandwich, the ahi poke, and the baja mahi mahi fish tacos. I've honestly never had ahi in a sandwich before but this sandwich rocked my world. It was exploding with flavor and the outside of the ahi was slightly seared but you could still taste the raw part of the fresh fish. The ahi poke was serious business with the usual soy sauce, onions, green onion, chili, and sesame oil. My husband and I both agreed that this was among the best ahi poke we've ever had. The baja mahi mahi fish tacos were fried on the outside so that made it crispy and I loved the sauce that the tacos were topped with. We got our food to go and by the time we drove back to where we were staying we had already finished our food. We went to The Fish Market AGAIN before we left Lahaina and the 2nd time we went, we made sure to order 2 seared ahi tuna sandwiches, along with tacos and the ahi poke. Don't think, just go here! It's quick, cheap, and has great fresh fish. Nom nom nom. =)

    The Fish Market was highly recommended by several people so we decided to try it out and I must say.... IT IS A MUST TRY! The place is located at the corner of a strip mall and doesn't look very impressive. However, you will not regret it. I had the fish ceviche and ahi poke and my oh my! The fish just melted in my mouth. It was SO FRESH! We also had the fish taco combo, the fish was fresh but it had way too much Cajun seasoning on it which depreciates the delicious of the fresh fish. It comes with rice and potato salad. The salad was okay. I wanted to try their seafood chowder and lobster bisque because it smelled so darn delish but it was way too hot outside. Maybe next time. Good food and good price, I think most of the prepared fish sells by the weight around $15/lb. They say cash only but I think they have a card machine. I heard that they catch their fish in the morning so the best time to go is in the afternoon. :) Enjoy the party in your mouth!

  • Rebecca R.

    A regular little fish market at the end of a strip mall. It's half market and half restaurant..so you know where your food is coming from! There are only four small tables outside and seven bar seats inside which fill up quickly, so I recommend taking the food to go (maybe to a nearby beach park?). Parking was easy, and the service is a-ok. We got our meal in about 10 minutes. The fish is very good and fresh, I would rate the whole experience as average.

    I listened to you Yelpers and went for the, OMG SO GOOD sheared ahi tuna sandwich. You didn't let me down, incredible seafood, perfect mixture of fresh ingredients. I savored each and every bite. Just do itl Best meal of my trip was here!

    Really enjoyed this place. I was prepared to have the ahi sandwich but they had a mango salsa mac-nut crusted fish special which was AMAZING! my husband had the fish and chips and enjoyed it. I wish we had more time to go back, we will def. return next time we visit Maui.

    I came after finding this place on Yelp. Location was accessible and can be seen from a major road (lower Honiapilani). We were staying in Kaanapali at Honua Kai and saw this place on our way to Napili beach. Stopped by after spending the morning at the beach and got lunch to-go. You can't really dine-in here since there are no tables or wait service. Got the famous seared ahi burger. Delicious. It comes with Maui chips and coleslaw. I tried getting the poke.... They were sold out. I went at 1:30pm. I got the shrimp ceviche instead which was good. I liked the vibe. You can walk In I'm flip flops and beach attire and get really lunch. I feel like this place is best after you've had your long morning on the beach. I also like how they have dishes for people who don't eat seafood (picky kids and carnivores) I rated one star down because of the price. It's pretty pricey for a super to-go casual place. I wouldn't let the price stop me from going though.... Neither should you.

    The fish tacos were great and the calamari strips were awesome. However the best was the sauce, sweet and sour, a little spicy with something addicting! We asked for extra and they had no problem with it.

  • Rebekah B.

    The baja fish tacos are delicious! The coleslaw mix plus the yummy dressing makes the over sized piece of battered fish amazing. Atmosphere is a total hole in the wall, but the food and price is totally worth the visit. Also had the pork taco, which was good, but nothing to write home about like the baja fish taco. Get it!

  • Michelle G.

    We were going to a beach in the area and wanted to grab lunch. Good old yelp led us here. We arrived as they opened for the day. We wanted to try poke since they have great reviews. They didn't have it ready yet and said it was gonna be a wait. We ordered a fish plate and a fish of the day sandwich which happened to be mahi. The fish was incredibly fresh but for the price the servings were small. The Sandwich was good but again the fish serving was rather thin. The lady at the counter was not too friendly a bit short with customers. Since we didn't get to try the poke we may try it again next time we are in Maui, maybe a bit later in the day to make sure it's ready.

    On our first day in Maui, my family and I wanted to get take-out from a nearby restaurant. Luck would have it, that The Fish Market Maui is right across the street from our condo. The only reason that we went to the Fish Market Maui was due to its multitude of ratings on Yelp. We also noted the "Fish of the Day" Sandwich and the Seared-Ahi Steak Sandwich come highly regarded by fellow Yelpers. And as expected, when my parents ordered those sandwiches, they were quite good. The fish was both tender and juicy, which nicely complemented the Maui onion topping. If I had followed the recommendations, Fish Market Maui would have received a 4-Star rating for its quality food but expensive prices. However, I wasn't in the mood for a sandwich, so I tried the Lunch Plate with the Fresh Fish of the Day. The Fish of the Day was Machong. The Lunch plate served a moderate amount of Machong with a big glob of white rice and macaroni salad. Unfortunately, without the tartar sauce or sandwich accouterments, the Machong was served grilled and was not as succulent as I would have expected from a "Fish Market." This place was worth the try, but not worth a second visit. Bottom Line: An Expensive Sandwich-Joint that lacks Versatility

    OK, I just died and went to poke heaven. The ahi was ridiculously fresh and soft, and the seasoning is a perfect blend of sesame oil, soy sauce, and spicy-ness with onion. Too bad they don't do sushi anymore.... I was eyeing some beautiful opakapaka filets that I bet would've made delicious sashimi. Came here twice during my trip and I will definitely come here on my next visit.

    I want to make clear that we stopped in here looking only for fish to buy, we didn't eat here or order any of the fish tacos or other menu items. We were looking for fish or shrimp to take back to our condo. The fish selection was pathetic that day. We had our choice of a few sad-looking, tail-end mahi-mahi fillets, a couple of small end wedges of tombo ahi, cooked prawns, two sizes/kinds of uncooked prawns, and some expensive scallops. No ono, no red snapper, no nothing else. The prices for the fish, considering the meager amount and the quality of what remained in the case, were high. We went down the street to the Times market and got plump, fresh prawns for $3 per pound less than what "the Fish Market" was selling them for. We also got two gorgeous, thick, uniform ahi fillets for more than $3 per pound less. Maybe their tacos are good. But I wouldn't buy fish there.

    Uh-freaking-mazing fish tacos! And tiger shrimp! We even paid extra to extend our car rental on our last day in Maui so we could hit up the fish market before our flight out of Maui! The staff is SO nice too! We got a few samples of their Ahi Poke and it was delicious and fresh, did I mention I don't typically like fish and my boyfriend had me try it? Yep! Sold! Try this place definitely!

    DH and i picked up carryout here the other night and came in around 5:30 PM. I ordered the fish taco fajita style and the shrimp taco cajun style. He ordered the seafood chowder. In Michigan I could not imagine paying 4.49 for one taco, but here in Maui, this taco was worth the price. There was tons of fresh seafood coming out of each taco and the flavors were really delicious. DH's soup had several kinds of fish, but he was not able to locate other types of seafood. Nonetheless he seemed to enjoy it.

    We decided to try this place on the second to last day in Maui. Wow really wished we would have tried it sooner. The food was delicious and worth the 1.2 mile walk. Hubby and I got 2 baja fish tacos and the seared Ahi fish sandwich and shared. Both were amazing he preferred the tacos and I the sandwich. The lady behind the counter let us sample the lobster bisque and can't wait to have a bowl of that on our next visit to Maui.

    This is an amazing no frills place to grab a great (and reasonable) lunch or dinner, or buy fresh fish to cook at home. The ahi steak sandwich was one of the best ahi sandwiches we have ever had. Seating inside is at a small counter, while outside is only 4 patio tables, definitely no frills. Fish tacos are also very good.

    Can't get over this place and definitely missing it now that I'm back from vacation. The fish tacos are truly delicious along with their sandwiches and burgers. We couldn't stop coming back. We also purchased fish to cook at home which was fresh and flavourful. I like everything about this spot from the staff, music and flavours... if you're in Maui don't miss eating at The Fish Market.

    We picked up a very nice piece of Ahi here as well as some shrimp which my wife prepared Scampi style. The Ahi was truly a beautiful piece of fish which needed not even soy nor wasabi. If you want some good fresh fish in the Kapalua area, this is the place to get it

    You don't get much fresher than this folks. While we were eating, some guys pulled up in a pickup and gaffed the huge fish in the bed to carry it inside. The seared ahi plate was delicious. You could cut the sashimi grade ahi with a fork. This is probably the best deal around on amazing ahi eating out. The fish and shrimp tacos were delicious as well. Beware, they are huge. One is as big as two normal tacos. They also sell fish as a market and will even suggest a great marinade to pair with it and get the marinade started for your dinner that night for a couple of extra bucks. As expensive as groceries are in Maui, this is definitely a great deal. The fish is in the $20-25/lb range, which is totally reasonable given the quality and location.

    This is one of our favorite places in Kaanapali. We love the Kaluha pork burritos, fish tacos, Seared Ahi salad, poke, tuna salad. Everything is good. We have been there multiple times. Eat outside and BYOB.

    We had our first and last meals here. We liked it that much! The seared ahi burger was awesome! It is topped with coleslaw with light wasabi, caramelized onions and tomatoes. The onion bread is toasted to perfection. Roberto cooks it perfectly! The ono burger is pretty good, but I recommend the tacos - BF got three tacos, one of each - mahi mahi, pork and shrimp. We liked the mahi and the shrimp tacos the best. Service is great even though it's a casual restaurant. Jimmy showed us an ono fish that was in the freezer and let us hold it for a photo op! It was a great experience. Do not forget to try the $1oyster shooters! We had two each the last time and regret not getting more (we were too full though!). TIP: The ABC store nearby on the same street counts GAS towards your gift that you get when you spend $100 at any ABC shop so keep all your receipts. It was easy getting two mugs with all the gas, food and goodies that we bought from here.

    The food was all pretty good. The oyster shooters were super good. We had Ona Sandwich, Sloppy Jim (bbq pork sandwich), cheese quesadilla and salad with fish. I also ordered a side of poke. That was the best. The bill was about 65 bucks. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. We'll probably go back. Very pleasant and unassuming.

    Omg! We ordered the kalua pork plate, the coconut shrimp, and the macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi and they were all delicious! The coconut shrimp was fried to perfection and the chili ginger dipping sauce was yummy. The mahi mahi and pork were moist. Our pics tell a thousand yummy words! Unfortunately this app won't access my pics :( Trust me, this place is good-we are coming back here on our next trip to Maui!

    The best place for lunch. Baja tacos with mahi mahi are delicious and very fresh! Will definitely come back.

    The real-life, caught earlier in the day, fresh fish is served here. If you order from the kitchen, you can have it cooked and seasoned the right way. Anything I buy from this restaurant tops the other. Portions are great, of course, pending their inventory, which is up to part 9 out of 10 times. For first timers, I recommend buying their fish burrito. It will change your perception about food in general.

    For quality they get 4 states - but pricing 2. This market really ups their price on their fish and seafood. 34 dollars a pound for butter fish! Today I waited in line for this good quality highly priced fish for 1 hour. Yes you heard it- 1 whole hour! We had visitors for dinner so fish was on the menu but, could I have gotten good dish elsewhere for less- yes, bit I committed! I did enjoy the fish though. Located right in the heart of Honokowai - they do a great business in this little shop. They also sell hot items - Kalua pork tacos, crab cakes, and Cajun fish tacos just to name a few- all really good but the price ranges from 5 dollars a piece to 8 for the tacos. So good quality for sure , but I am not sure you can't get just as good for less!

  • Jamie S.

    Small little shop with GREAT food. The fish was fresh and delicious. The Ahi poke was sold out both times I tried to eat it! The Ahi steak was fresh and cooked perfectly. The Kaula pig was yummy! The lobster salad was super tasty. Great prices, friendly & helpful staff. Go to this place and you will not regret it! Will hit this place up again next time I'm in Maui! You can also purchase fresh fish/seafood to make on your own.

    Been all over the island but still waiting for that fish epiphany? Go here, and your troubles are over. Best fish I ate on Maui. Go when the sushi chef is there. Get down with your bad self. And if someone in your party doesn't like fish, the kalua pork tacos are great. Fish tacos were top notch. Best on Maui.

    Delicious!!! Most of the food I had in Lahaina was dulled down and bland. I was loosing hope until I found the Fish Market. I tried the fish taco and sandwich. Soooo good! I have to keep this bookmarked so I don't forget the yumminess that is this place.

    You know how you come to Maui and have no idea where to eat so you end up spending 50 bucks on a meal at some fancy hotel restaurant? STOP DOING THAT AND COME TO THE FISH MARKET!! Don't even over think, seared ahi steak sandwich, quarter lb of poke and a big fat bowl of chowder... The fish here is fresh, tender, juicy, flavorful and makes the fish from my local grocery store in Illinois tastes like chicken, CHICKEN!! There is no table in the little shop, but who needs that when you can sit outside, chug your sandwich, enjoy the fantastic Hawaii weather and the ocean view? The fish market absolutely made my day.

    4 stars for the fish and the service. This place is near my family's timeshare in Ka'anapali, but we've never had the opportunity to stop by. We finally made it here and loved the fish so much that we returned the next night to pick up more fish. The first day I ordered the mahi plate which comes with mac salad and rice. The fish was awesome, the mac salad was Ok as a side, the rice wasn't very good as it didn't taste the freshest and I had a few bites that were hard. I also ordered a 1/2 lb of Ahi to slice up as sashimi and it was on par with the best sashimi I've ever had - very fresh and melts in your mouth. The next day, I decided to skip the prepared food and just get some fish. They were out of the Big-Eye Ahi, but had Yellowfin. We chose to sear half of the fish and slice the other half for sashimi. Since we were on vacation and didn't have anything to season the grilled fish with, they gave us some seasoning to use. Both the seared fish and the sashimi were delicious and it was a simple meal to make. The people here are helpful, the fish is fresh & delicious! This is now a go-to place for me when I just want some fresh fish.

  • Scott A.

    Best Fish Sandwich Ive ever had in Maui! What a great fine and thanks to our Fishing Guide Brian who recommended this place for Fresh Fish! We came in to see what we wanted to put on the Grill and were pleasantly surprised to see them have a separate area to order Lunch. Had we found this place sooner we would have been regulars here for Tacos and Fish Sandwiches! Spoke to a guy there who was really informative and knew of our Fishing Guide. Totally recommend!

    We ordered the fish of the day sandwich and burrito. The sandwich was ok but the burrito was amazing! The cashier recommended the burrito and she was spot on. Looking forward to another trip.

  • Chika A.

    Hole in the wall type of place. Like the other reviewer mentioned, we also saw a huge fish got carried in to the place in a trash bucket from a local pickup truck! (Defiantly good sing!) "Tuna Poke" is die for. We bought 2-lb container full and took back to our hotel. It got disappeared less than 5 minutes. "Tuna Poke" from Costco took about 10 minutes. I was born in Japan, grew up in Japan, and helped my uncle's sushi restaurant in Osaka, Japan. Osaka was once called "Emperor's Kitchen" and Osaka people have "Kuidaore-spirit" Kyoto people are extravagant in dress and Osaka people in food.) Bottom line, I know what is good food and especially when it comes to a raw fish. Gotta try some "tuna poke" from this place with ice-cold beer. I sure found another paradise!

  • Doug L.

    Wow! This place is incredible. We're staying at the Mahana and decided to take the short walk based on the YELP reviews. We were not disappointed. My wife had the fish tacos and I settled on the fish burrito. Yum. Considering how expensive everything seems to be on Maui, we were surprised when the bill came to $22. We may just eat here every night during our stay...

    (5)

  • Derek R.

    Such a lucky find (thanks Yelp)! The concept is simple: They catch fish in the morning, and during the day, that's what they sell. Although they have prepared foods, the main value is with getting fish to take home and cook yourself. You might not find what you were hoping to get (for me, I was in search of tuna), but on the other hand, I discovered another fish (opah) that I had never tried. Marinated in a soy ginger sauce (selected from a few others that they offer) and grilled with some fresh local tiger shrimp that I also marinated, I had what was easily one of the best seafood dinners I've ever had.

    (5)

  • Daniel K.

    Failed to get the poke after 3 attempts. Maybe it was a sign that I shouldn't be eating radioactive tuna anyways. They sell out of it, so you have to come at the right time. Don't come too early (ie before noon), because they haven't made it yet. Once we came and the guy right in front of us took all of the poke in the container. So, we had shrimp ceviche in its stead, THREE times, and it was delicious each time.

    (4)

  • Kristina H.

    Second time here this week. I ordered the ceviche. There are two choices, fish or shrimp. I asked if they would mix the two and they did. It was good, I ate it with the tortillas we had back at the hotel. My second visit I ordered the ahi poke with the mild marinade/sauce. I wish I would have ordered the medium. It was a tad bit salty for my liking but overall it was fresh and tasty. Can't wait for next trip to maui to come back to this place and get a sandwhich.

  • James K.

    You must try the ahi steak if you are a sashimi or medium-rare steak fan. The best food that I had in Maui.

  • Uland W.

    Currently this place has hours from 10-5pm everyday and is CASH ONLY. With that little noticed taped in front of the door, they support an ATM inside for your convenience. The staff that we saw wasn't too helpful as he went about his own business. The place was set up more like a fish deli with a glass refrigerator on the side and on the opposite end of the place a poster size menu on the wall. We ordered a servicing of the cechive and two mahi mahi tacos. This place is alright, nothing outstanding about it. Some people say, you are here in Maui not for the food. And after trying this place, I totally agree. I'm a strong believer in helping out the little stores. So if you are in the mood to get of the beaten path, away from the strip and the crowds this might be up your alley. A few tables outside to sit and stare at the parking lot and passing cars or bench top counters to enjoy your meal.

  • Maria G.

    Found this place from reading Yelp and the place was busy! We came here for lunch and there was a constant stream of people walking in and ordering food. There are only about 5-6 tables outside the store, and every one is occupied. Food we ordered: Cajun shrimp taco -- very good flavor Pulled pork taco -- pretty good also Fish taco -- decent Mahi mahi burrito -- it's a huge burrito! My husband couldn't finish it. Taste okay. He didn't like having cheddar cheese in it, but i do Lobster bisque -- too salty... and being a bisque it is not creamy enough Food quality is okay... but I didn't expect paying close to $40 for lunch. I definitely would visit again if I am nearby, but I wouldn't make the extra drive if I am at least 15 min driving distance away.

  • Kaitlyn J.

    My dad and I just recently visited here for lunch. We both had the fish tacos which were amazing! This place has been on my bookmarks list for our vacation to Maui and we definitely plan on visiting again for some delicious fish tacos!

  • Dave C.

    Time Arrived: 7, weekday Time Wait: NA Party: 2 Atmosphere: It isn't called a fish market for nothing, as it is a fish market. You can eat outside and enjoy that maui weather tho. Food/Drink: We had fish sandwiches, the mahi and i think some local fish sandwich. Both were pretty good. The best part was the seafood chowder, generous seafood, me likes. Wish we came early enough for the Poke, when we got there they were out. Service: Stuff came out quick enough. Overall: Close to the resort area and relatively affordable quick eats.

  • Alli S.

    This is a great non-touristy place to go if you have a timeshare nearby and like to grill fish. We got some monchong in a delicious miso marinade and it turned out great! Terrific ceviche/poke as well. Reasonably priced and the folks there are super helpful.

    (4)

  • Mark O.

    Don't tell anyone about this place! The Fish Market Maui features fresh caught ahi, ono, mahimahi, etc. -- right off the boats every morning. Everything is fresh -- best poke on the island! They also run a small take-out restaurant on the premises featuring a wide variety of fish sandwiches and seafood. Be sure to try the seafood chowder or lobster bisque. A little lobster salad from the market side with a cup of chowder or bisque is a meal by itself, but I can never resist the crabcake or ahi sandwiches.

    (5)

  • Tara B.

    My husband and I make it our quest to find awesome fish tacos whenever we visit Maui. And so far, the Fish Market on Lower Honoapiilani Road has served the best fish tacos we have found in Maui. The tacos have an awesome balance of flavor and texture. All elements seem to come together to create taste bud satisfaction!

  • Crystal Z.

    My boyfriend and I went to this place randomly yesterday. After we ordered, we checked Yelp and were very happy to find this was a 4-star place. We ordered the fish of the day plate and fish chowder. Yet both of them turned out to be extremely disappointing. The fish of the day was mahi mahi. So they grilled a very small piece of mahi mahi, which was quite hard and dry, and literally had no flavor at all. I usually eat very light, but I still needed to put salt on it. The salad on the side also tasted weird. (No comment on the rice.) So was the fish chowder. The fish inside was bitter and the soup had an unpleasant smell. Also, it had little flavor and you need you add salt and pepper to make it drinkable. I don't know why people give the place four stars. Maybe we ordered the wrong items. Anyways, there is no pleasant environment for eating. The staffs are not friendly and slow. They definitely overcharge the customers for the small plate of food they provide!

    Overrated. Service is slow here and the food is just OK. I had a fish taco and a shrimp taco, surprisingly the shrimp was better than the fish. There is a lot of fish on the tacos but it didn't taste any better than Wahoos fish tacos. I would skip this place.

  • Lisa K.

    The temporary hours while we were there were 10 am - 5 pm every day, and they were also cash only (not sure if this was another temporary feature?). There was actually a smaller fish selection than I'd expected, with about 5-8 types available (plus shrimp, a couple of kind of poke, and prepared foods like soup & the whole sandwich side we didn't try). We found the fish to be pretty expensive (I'm sure for a good reason, but it seemed comparable to getting fish in a restaurant. We still preferred it to going out, but just fyi). I got the last of the ahi poke at around 3 pm one day and found it a little dull, despite having asked for spicy. One day we got our fish plain, and the other we had the herbs&oil marinade, which was pretty overwhelming. We ended up discarding most of it but it was not unpleasant on the fish. In short, I liked the place fine, but wasn't overly impressed.

    Good fish burgers. You can also get fresh fish to bring back after you are done with your meal. If you are lucky you can find some very fresh sashimi.

  • Christian S.

    We went here twice so far and will probably come back for a third time (only here for a week). The first time we went I had the tacos (2 cajun fish and 1 shrimp) and my wife had the ahi poke. The tacos were absolutely delicious. The seasoning was amazing and the warm guacamole added to it was excellent. The ahi poke was similarly great. Really fresh pieces of Tuna in a simple soy sauce and sesame oil dressing with green and white onions. A really simple and amazing dish. The second time we went we got the seared ahi tuna sandwich and the lobster bisque. The bisque was ok (not too many lobster bits and kind of corn starch gravy like). The seared ahi tuna, however, was awesome. Extremely good fish with a really good sauce (wasabi aeoli) on a really soft (and quite excellent) onion bun. If you visit West Maui, you need to come here or you will be missing out.

  • Lisa M.

    It's definitely a very casual whole-in-the-wall place, but it was a nice break from the sit-down restaurants. It may be "fast food", but it's delicious. Had the seared ahi sandwich based on other Yelp reviews. The ahi is perfectly seared, topped with sweet, caramelized onions, shredded cabbage and a wasabi aioli where you can definitely taste the wasabi. What really makes the sandwich is the perfectly soft roll, which really makes every bite melt in your mouth. Had a salad as the side item, which was very fresh romaine, carrots and tomato. The vinaigrette seems homemade and not out of a bottle. but is hinted w/ lavender, which I liked, but hubby didn't. The seafood chowder was very herby at first, but after a few bites, it kind of loses its flavor, but it was worth the try.

  • Jen C.

    Found this place on Yelp, and loved it. Wish we were there for longer or we would have gone back. Great place for a low-key lunch. We just got done snorkeling and wanted some good fish. This place did not disappoint! Cashier recommended the Ahi Steak Sandwich (which he got; and it was delicious, I wish I had ordered it), and I got the Lobster salad which was really good as well, and REALLY fresh! Sandwiches are also served with Maui Style potato chips (yum!). We ate inside and this place has a pretty good playlist too! Enimen, Rihanna, Maroon 5, Kayne West, and Outkast, all within like 30 minutes?! Pretty dope.

  • Kay P.

    My boyfriend and his daughter liked their pork burritos other than the slightly stale tortillas. I had the marlin, but it was a bit bland and overdone. Perhaps that is just the way marlin is? It was my first time trying that type of fish. I used the salsa my companions were given to add a bit of flavor to my fish. I am at least fed with a healthy meal, if not delicious. The guy working behind the counter was not at all helpful had a complete lack of personality, had no energy, and seemed kind of annoyed with his life. The cook had even less personality/energy to deal with us. It's understandable that it would be hard to be in a little shop in a strip mall being that this is paradise and everyone else is out playing, but as the food wasn't that awesome, we won't be going back while we are here.

  • Tawin K.

    This is the best fish sandwich place I've ever been too. Hands down, no contest! I honestly haven't had too many fish sandwiches but these guys know what they're doing. The spot is a little small but it's obviously pretty trendy. Their creativity really comes out in their food. I had the Grilled Mahi Mahi sandwich and everything from the choice of bread to the sauce is so well thought out. The fish itself is cooked to perfection! I also tried some of the Monchong, which was the special of the day, and the pesto sauce combination blew me away.

    Pork plate lunch, the Ahi Poke, all the sides, amazing! I can't stress enough how good this poke was. It was super fresh fish, right amount of onions, and seasoned to order right after he weighed it. I love food and thanks to Maui, Hawaii, and this Fish Market, Poke is my new passion, don't miss it!

  • jenny t.

    Thanks to everyone's reviews, I tried this place twice while we were in Maui 2 weeks ago. Twice I had the Ahi Steak Sandwich that came with a salad and I have mixed feelings. At the first time, I felt like it was the most perfect little (inexpensive) lunch lunch on Maui...especially after being on the beach all afternoon. The sandwich was perfect, fish was fresh, wasabi sauce was a good touch and the special dressing on the salad tied everything together. So I ordered the exact thing two days later, the sandwich wasn't so good (too much dressing), the fish was only fine, and there was something weird tasting (lavender?) in the salad dressing. I knocked a star off for the inconsistency, but needless to say, I still enjoyed it. My husband had also ordered the seafood chowder and tacos. The tacos were a-ok good. When we asked about what's in the chowder, they told us that it's like the New England clam chowder but with fish. But when we got it, there was fish and thick liquid. There's nothing special about the fish and there wasn't even a piece of potato.

    Reluctantly while driving around, I noticed a place that a friend recommended me at work. I've heard it was action, so I figured to stop by and scope out the scene. Everything on the menu sounded great and I was considering on eating on-the-go, so I thought it would be regular to ask for a drink lid. I wasn't too sure if the guy at the reg, was bored, had a long day, or whatever, but he quickly reached around and handed me a bag of lids, and asked me If I could do him a favor, and glanced at the soda machine. I was tempted to throw the bag back at him and walk out the door, even without grabbing my food, but I just had to think that this guy had a good reason to help me out that way. I ordered a shrimp BLT; it was the bomb. Finished half the sandwich, ordered Seafood chowder... To best describe it, it had a liquid mashed potato consistency with fish bits and choke garlic. Coming in with high expectation, I came out disappointed. It has potential, though it could clearly improve on its customer service. Unfortunately, I don't think I can say I would come back again soon, though looking at a majority of the other reviews, I'm sure this place has seen better days.

    Yum! Had a quick late lunch here today and found it based on help reviews. Totally dive looking from outside since its in a small strip mall, but it is so amazingly delicious! We ordered the seared ahi sandwich and the catch of the day sandwich and both were so good! We preferred the ahi a bit more, but both were our fav meals of the day. Out the door with two meals and two cups of water was $30, but we feel for Lahiana, it was worth the taste and very nice service from the woman at the counter. Hooray for really fresh fish! Well done!

  • Peej C.

    The Fish Market was one of my favorite meals on my recent vacation in Maui. I am from San Diego so I wouldn't consider myself a newbie when it comes to fish. The Fish Market is truly as good as it gets. My boyfriend and I ordered the ono burger and the seared ahi sandwich. Both were delicious however if we could do it again (and we will when we come back), we would order two seared ahi sandwiches. The marriage between the onion roll, the wasabi aioli, the carmelized onions, the cabbage slaw, and the fresh, perfectly seared ahi is absolutely to die for. We savored every bite! The prices are fair especially for Maui. The atmosphere is casual and laid back. The service was great... the guys working there really take pride in what they make. Go to the Fish Market and order the seared ahi sandwich... you won't regret it!

  • Steve N.

    We stopped in to get a quick to-go order. I had the tacos, and chose two Cajun Mahi and one pork. Let me describe the Mahi taco - two grilled corn tortillas, a generous fresh piece of seasoned Mahi and a few pieces of loosely chopped Romaine. That's it, although there was a little Pico de Gallo on the side. The pork taco was OK, and we also ordered the pork plate, which was OK. We'd pick another place for fish tacos, as well as the plate next time. $25 for two without drinks, for what we got, seemed a little steep.

  • Jeff B.

    Had the ahi tuna sandwich and the mahi sandwich. Both were very good. Would recommend these items and by the way go just down the road to the beach park and eat at the picnic tables on the water! Oh yeah...credit cards NOT accepted even though their website says they are.

    The mister ordered here, I did not. He shall regale you with his wit, in fact he has already started. Hi. I ordered the ahi burger. Unfortunately I ate it too late, so it cooked itself to a medium well. It was pretty tasty for being overcooked. Note, I overcooked it, not them. Mmmm, The end.

    So damn ONO! I don't know a better way to describe this place. The Mahi Mahi fish sandwich was crazy good. The super fresh fish, bread and accouterments were outstanding. My wife had the mahi and shrimp tacos and was equally impressed. You know this place has the fresh fish around when guys are walking in the store with just-caught tuna, wahoo and dorado. Very cool to look up from an awesome lunch to see a giant wahoo being hauled in. I could have come back for Dinner that night if they were open past 6 or 7! The staff was friendly and attentive. Don't miss this place! It's not a white table cloth joint by any means but it's awesome.

  • Cherry Ann W.

    This place is very casual with bar style only seating inside and a small outdoor seating area. You can buy fresh fish to take home on one side of the store while order fish burgers and sandwiches on the other half. We chose to do both. We ordered tuna, opakapaka sashimi and fish ceviche from the market side and brought them over to the other side to eat with our cooked food. We ordered the seared ahi sandwich, grilled mahi and Cajun mahi tacos. The sashimi were fresh and delicious. The tuna sashimi glistened on the plate with bright burgundy color. That was the first time we've had opakapaka sashimi and it won't be our last. It was very mild tasting and soft in texture. The ceviche had fresh tomatoes, onions and seasoned with lime and salt. The highlight of our meal was the seared ahi sandwich. It was perfectly seared, served with caramelized onions, shredded cabbage and wasabi aioli on a foccacia roll. It was perfect! If you're looking to impress a first date, don't come here. The place looks very unappealing. But if you're looking for a great hole in the wall restaurant with amazing seafood, this is the perfect place to be.

    Had the best fish tacos on the island here. Both the fajita and Baja fish tacos were filled with plump pieces of Ono or Mahi Mahi cooked to perfection. Loved the grilled onions & peppers on the fajita taco and the Baja version wasn't oily. The service gets 2-stars because the woman was a bit cranky both times and it takes at least 10 minutes to get your order.

    Two of the best fish sandwiches that I've had in the recent past, were had here. One day it was the Uku (Gray Snapper), the next day it was the Mahi! I also sampled and loved their fish&shrimp gumbo! The staff here are very patient & cool. They also know their (f)ish and can go deep if they need to! I could eat here for lunch every day! Alas tele-commuting from Maui will not be! 5 Stars!

  • Nancy K.

    I ordered the ono burger and my boyfriend ordered the seared Ahi steak sandwich and we both thought the ahi steak sandwich was amazing. We called it a sushi burger. The ono burger was ok and I didn't think it was that special. Both sandwiches come with salad or chips and we got the salad, which had really great croutons in them. Besides offering cooked food, they also sell a lot of fish that you can buy and cook yourself. We saw a big one being sliced up in the kitchen (definitely fresh fish there!) We're giving it four stars only because the prices are a little high but otherwise, it was a great meal.

  • Joshua G.

    We happened in just before a lunch time rush. Today they were serving the Mahimahi (sp?) and it was amazing! Caramelized unions and delicious sauce and tomatoes. It was amazing and we highly recommend making a stop here if you are in the area. Nothing bad about this place! Price is great, food is great. Outdoor seating only (they have a wall bar only inside, which are not for me) but the weather and scenery outside makes it a non-decision.

    We found this place on Yelp, so thank you Yelpers!!! We got the seared ahi sandwich, nothing but GOODness!!! The bf and I believes it is THE best ahi sandwich we had on the island!!! No doubt!!! Must try or live with regret! $13 sandwich was a little deep but so worth it!!! If you are oyster fan, you must try the $1 oyster shooters!!! Yummmmm!!! A friend and I purchased all 12 of the oyster shooters there and killed it within 20 mins! I think that said enough!! I also tried the fish ceviche, that was just okay, too sour and needed more flavor, like salt? Definitely a dissappointment for me. I wouldn't order the fish ceviche again. The smoked salmon and capers was awesome. I tried it with chips and that was a match made in heaven, yum yum! The prices are gouging however the foods are super duper great and most importantly FRESH!

    Over-rated and over-priced. I would rather go to any restaurant in Maui.

    Overhyped and overpriced. In all fairness, we didn't eat our meal until we got back to our hotel about 15 minutes later. That said, I got the ahi tuna steak sandwich and my wife got the mahi fish plate. My sandwich was decent, but pretty soggy (maybe a result of waiting 15 minutes to eat). I also thought the wasabi sauce overpowered the taste of the ahi. It could've been chicken in there and I'd have been none the wiser. My wife's mahi plate was boring and tasteless. The fish tasted pretty fresh, but the portion was tiny and there wasn't anything special done to make it a $13 meal. I make better fish at home for $2. Another problem was how my stomach felt after eating the ahi sandwich. It wasn't a pleasant feeling. If I return to Maui (which I'm sure I will), I'd be open to trying other sandwiches, but the fish plate is definitely not the way to go unless you like very plain, boring meals.

    We were real hyped about this spot and recommended to all our friends since last year...keyword: were. I used to eat the poke here everyday while we stayed in Lahaina. Fresh poke and fresh oysters. Last week while I was here I caught one of the workers on a lie and didn't go back. She was an older woman, not very friendly, blah blah blah. My wife and I must have eaten over 20 oysters last year (over 6 days) from this place. Now they're serving oysters and you have to buy your lemon. We enjoyed this place for the great deals on their food. A year later and the price of poke is up over 30%. Go to Lahaina Farms for fresh poke. Cheaper and just as good.

    Four seared ahi sandwiches - on yelpers recommendations. They were good, although for all the praise, I thought the portion of ahi would have been bigger. The bread overwhelmed the slab of fresh ahi, that was very fresh, but a bit on the thin side. A little over our budget of 12$ per, but not a disappointment. Just wanted a little more bang for the buck, but not much more. The fresh fish and poke, etc, looked ok. I was not inspired by the display. I suppose that is not necessary if the the product is great. Overall, a nice hole-in-the-wall stop for lunch-to-go.

    You can't really go wrong with this hidden gem. I have never eaten lunch here, but my brothers have and love it. I only come here to buy fresh seafood to take back to our family's time share and prepare myself. They always have a good selection of fresh from the sea fish. To be clear it's not a fancy restaurant, it's a market. Think of it like going to your favorite deli counter/ bodega in NYC because they always have the best pastrami, except here it Ahi.

    Their Fish is very good! Pricey, but you pay for the freshness. Their oyster was also fresh. While we were in our last Maui trip, we stopped by this same place 3x. Highly recommend it.

    I was in West Maui for 12 days and my friend came across The Fish Market Maui. It had good reviews and it was really close to our resort so we thought we try it out. Went there twice. The first time we ordered a Grilled Mahi & Seared Ahi sandwich, a fish taco, seafood chowder and the gumbo. My first impression was that the food was okay and a bit pricey even for West Maui standards. We went back again because the food was not bad and it was close by our place. We also wanted to try the crab cakes and some of their sushi roles. They were out of sushi roles so we order another sandwich, quesadilla with pork, sour cream and guacamole and three crab cakes. When I got back to the resort I found out that they had given me just the plain quesadilla. I was pretty upset b/c I paid $10 for two piece of tortilla wraps with cheese in the middle and a small bag of chips. I called them but it was just after 6pm and no one answered. We had early plans the next day and they didn't open until 10am so I did not called them to complain but I didn't have a local phone and the roaming charges that I would have incurred would have probably upset me even more. We tried frying the crab cakes but it was really thick so we ended up baking it instead. I was anxious to bite into it b/c it looked really good but I was disappointed. For $8 each I would barely taste the crabs. Not sure if it just the way it is made in Maui but I wasn't a big fan of it. All-in-all (evening without the quesadilla incident) I thought the food I had was okay and the price to be a bit high for what you are getting. We tried another place in Kihei called the Coconuts Fish Cafe and I thought the food was better there and more reasonable...although bit of a drive from Lahaina.

    My husband and I were so happy to find this place while on our honeymoon in Maui. We went there our first day in town and ordered Poke (spiced to your liking when you order!) and two seared Ahi sandwiches to go. The seared Ahi is their #1 seller and you'll know why after you taste it. The fish is perfectly seared and beautifully pink on the inside, and the coleslaw, carmelized onions, and creamy tartar sauce make this an insanely delicious sandwich that you won't soon forget. Also, the side salad was delicious and fresh with an awesome dressing - sort of an oriental flavored dressing with maui grown lavender, yes lavender. Yummmy! We took our meal straight back to our condo and enjoyed it on our lanai with a perfect view of the sunset. We liked the food so much, we went back three more times! This is the perfect place to stop in and grab a lunch to go - there's a great beach park just down the road and you can sit at picnic tables with a perfect view of the waves. If you ask me, this is definitely the way to experience Maui!

    Right next door to Okazuya Honokowai and only open until 5pm. Another place to get the food to go. Also has a small counter that lines one side, but it is really small. There are a few plastic tables outside in the strip mall parking lot. The fish looked fresh, but for us - the prices were high. Guess normal for Maui. The average sandwich is $13.99. We got the Grilled Fish Sandwich and split it. It was good - not fried - but if we could have afforded it we would have gotten two. They also list fresh sushi, but it's a single roll wrapped in saran in the refrigerator case for $12.99. Just seemed high for a refrigerated pre-made sushi roll. Soup was $6.99 or $12.99. For us - it was a higher priced place for a to-go deli. Our sandwich was good - but not enough for us to go back.

  • Princess Pompom Patootie W.

    Saw them carry a huge fish in the door as we walked up so I guess this place is really fresh. Got the fish sandwich of the day which was yum but the portion was on the small side. $12 for a sandwich was pricier than I'd like but then again probably the tastiest fish meal I've had in Maui. Oh also got tacos which were just ok. Definitely get the Cajun mahi over shrimp (& I'm usually a shrimp fan). Should've ordered the mahi sandwich instead.

  • Lily L.

    let's first give you an orientation to the store. when you walk in, the left counter is to order sandwiches, soup, and such. the right counter is to order the fresh fish, including the poke. now, the food: the mahi mahi plate lunch - mahi, mac salad, and scoop of rice - $12.99. the tartar served with the mahi was quite nice - not too heavy, a little bit sweet. just right. :) their macaroni salad isn't as rich as some other places (eg, L&L or da kitchen), with some peas and carrots thrown in for some nice crunch. the ahi poke - you order by weight ($14.99/lb). we found that 1/2 a pound is just about right as an appetizer for two -- and this is much more than you'd get at a restaurant, for a fraction of the cost! when you order, they'll ask if you want it spicy, if so, they'll add that in before handing it over. we noticed that they also have a tako salad (octopus) and wakame salad (seaweed) too. they're open 11-7pm, so make sure you get your order before then! overall? this is a great option for lunch and centrally located too (just a mile away from the westin villas).

    The best fresh fish on Maui. Everything I have ever purchased is delicious and fresh. Love the poke!

  • ERICA R.

    I've had better fresh fish at much better prices. This was the first place we stopped to eat when we got to Maui. I was not impressed, but in a pinch I would probably go again. The food wasn't bad, it just didn't live up to the hype. I had the fish sandwich of the day and hubby had the 3 tacos and we split a drink. Our total was $26. No thanks!

  • mike c.

    5 stars for the poke. It doesn't get any better than this anywhere and I know because I've tried. The fresh ahi poke may be an acquired taste but soon you'll be addicted to it. Prices are higher than Safeway or Star but grocery store poke isn't edible compared to this. Get the Hawaiian poke. They can make it mild, medium, or hot. Can't rate the cooked food since I haven't tried it. We always pick up fresh caught fish to grill at the condo and it's always great although pricey. Don 't eat too much walu or you'll get Hawaiian diarhea. I don't understand the review about the rice clumping together. That's the way it is supposed to be. It's not Uncle Bens minute rice. Saw this on their website. Too funny. Like I'm going to return a piece of fish in 14 days in brand new condition. Exchanges can be made within 14 days upon receipt of merchandise and refunds can be made 7 days from receipt. The item must be in brand new condition, un-used and unwashed.

    I never miss this place when in Maui. Grilled fish as good as you will get anywhere. Yes, it can be crowded and loud...finding a seat can be problematic too, but it all adds to the ambiance. Fun place, great food.

  • sybril s.

    A hole in the wall little joint for some Hawaiian food. I ordered the Ono plate, which was overcooked. I was kinda disappointed because I really like ono but never had a perfectly cooked one. Mr. S had the Kalua pork, which was excellent - a little sweet but not super sweet. Reasonably priced and they sell some hot sauces there too or something. Would definitely come back to try more items on the menu the next time we go to Maui :)

  • Craig S.

    My wife and I were looking for a snack on our way back to our condo from snorkling so we stopped in for some seafood chowder. It was excellent - huge chucks of fish in each scoop. We returned two days later and got sandwiches for dinner. I had an ono burger and my wife had an ahi tuna melt. My burger was a little dry but still has good flavor. My wife loved the ahi tuna. Would definitely return!

  • C C.

    The seared ahi steak sandwich is divine. Seared just right and so tasty. Get the salad - the dressing is wonderful. As others have said, it is cash only so bring enough cash. We did try the poke here - yummy but I wasn't sure it was worth the price premium vs. Foodland which also had good poke.

    (4)

  • Ryder S.

    Just ordered fish at the counter. Bought Red Snapper and sashimi quality Ahi. For $3 they will marinade or coat the fish for you. They gave me wasabi, soy sauce and Ginger with my Ahi. They were kind enough to tell me how to cook the Snapper. It turned out great. Only item of concern is pricing. 26.99 a pound for Snapper seems high. Same price for the Ahi sashimi, but that is expected.

  • Tom B.

    We just hit this place - loved it. Not a fancy dine in outing - this is a strip mall joint - but it has the best fish we've had in Maui so far! I had the Lobster Salad sandwich. Apparently the lobster is not in season here, so it is coming from India? Still, it was prepared well and very tasty. Joie had the Seared Ahi sandwich - which she said was fantastic. I had a bit and agree, it was very good. The portions were large, and the amount of fish generous. Our sandwiches came with salads (our choice over chips) and they were the best greens for salad we've had on the island. There were also some soups that I wish we would have tried, but will have to wait until next time: Lobster Bisque, Shrimp Gumbo, and Seafood Chowder. So, not a fancy setting, but a relaxed Maui setting, and food is what matters most - this place rocks!

    (5)

  • Colin H.

    Had the ahi burger. Probably should've have specified that I just wanted it seared because it was overdone and going towards dry. I also had the mac salad with my meal instead of regular salad. It was a bit sweet for my tastes. The oyster shooters were good and tasted pretty fresh. Staff was a bit unenthusiastic, oh well next time ill head over to coconut's fish cafe for a moist fish burger.

    (3)

  • Matthew K.

    Man oh man is this place tasty! Lobster salad Sando on a croissant was excellent! My son is a picky eater (21 months old) and he can't stop eating the lobster! Shrimp BLT awesome! We will be going back, possibly twice in one day. The fresh fish selection is really good quality and the dollar oyster shooters can't be beat! Way to go Fish Market Maui.

  • David C.

    It was end of the day and most things we wanted to order were out. No sushi rolls because the chef was out sick. So we just had the seafood stew and shared some ahi tacos. Soup tasted like leftovers and tacos were so so. Will need to visit a little earlier next time so I can get some fresh fish platers

  • Josie I.

    Yelp helped me get out of the crazy-every-meal-will-cost-you-$50+for two schedule in Hawaii. The Fish Market is one of those great, inexpensive places to get freshy-fresh fish. So good we went there twice in our stay. I had the Ono burger the first time, husband got the grilled mahi steak sandwich. Washed it down with locally made pineapple soda. Tasty. On the way out, saw that there was $1 oyster shots. Slapped a dollar on the counter and slurped. A bit heavy on the sauce but so good, that I had to have another. The day after, we were back for more. I got the catch of the day in a sandwich; the fish was 'hebi' and was just wonderful. Husband got the seared ahi steak sandwich with wasabi aioli. He's not a big fan of wasabi so we had to switch--i get the best of both worlds. The sandwiches were great; freshly baked bread, greens, and local tomatoes from upcountry. All yours for $8-10 and so worth it. Two more oyster shots and I'm done.

  • rocky c.

    came here for the spicy ahi poke based on the yelp reviews. the fish was very fresh, but it was not spicy at all. also, it was a little too salty. it was more of a shoyu poke. also, they don't have a very big selection, and they only carry fountain sodas.

    (3)

  • Wouldyie G.

    Tried the seared ahi sandwich after reading some of the reviews. It was good but we think it's overrated. Tried a Rainbow Roll and that was pretty good. No poke when we were there and we were told no poke for a few days with no explanation.

    The fish tacos were disapointing but man oh man...the seared ahi tuna sanwich (not to be confused with the ahi burger) is on hit. I like it so much i went be 3 times. Caution though...this place closes at 5pm...

  • Christine P.

    Ok, I joined yelp to read reviews and help me get around some good eating spots in Maui, never intended to write reviews but for this spot I'm gonna have too. The Fish Market was so good. A bit pricey but worth every penny. It's a small little hole in the wall with the freshest fish I've ever tasted. We live in the Bay Area and we go to Fisherman's Warf often and I must say the food was excellent here. We are a family of 5 and our bill came to $77 for the following: 2 Crab Melts - melted swiss cheese, caramelized onions, tomatoes and lettuce on a foccacia roll and choice of salad or chips w/ real crab, not the imitation kind. 1 Sloppy Jim - Pulled pork w/BBQ sauce, cheddar and topped with homemade cole slaw and choice of salad or chips. 1 Kids Quesadilla - Your regular old quesadilla Poke - Don't know how they made it. Ceviche - tomatoes, onions, some kind of white fish in lime. Ocean Salad - seaweed salad My daughter took a bite of her crab melt and her eyes popped open cause she said it was so good, she is a crab lover! I also love crab so no complaints from me, it was delicious. I took a bite of my son's Sloppy Jim and that too was very tasty. From the hubby, he loved the Poke and ended up eating the rest of my Ceviche. My son, had the Ocean Salad and ended up buying another order of to take back to the condo. If you are ever in the area, I suggest making a stop here. Food was good, and very friendly staff.

    Ono Burger was on point! Best Ono Burger I've had thus far. Small place, which wasn't busy when we arrived. Very casual lunch/early dinner joint; it's a place you go to have lunch after a busy morning/afternoon outside and you don't have to worry about washing the sand off your feet or washing the sunscreen off your skin. Order at the counter and they'll bring you your order (at least they brought us ours) - you can eat on the small tables inside or on the few metal tables they have outside. The owner is really friendly, so was the 8 year old girl that was mopping the floor and cleaning up tables.

  • Josh L.

    Poke was good. I think I would go for the Ahi sandwich and try the crab sandwich. The Ono burger was just okay.

  • j h.

    What a great find thanks to Yelp! On our way to snorkeling, we stopped by here for some fresh seafood! Had the mahi mahi sandwich and ono burger, both delicious, came with either salad or chips. And orderred a half a pound of spicy poke, which was a little salty for me. This was exactly the food I was looking for in hawaii, casual and fresh. Each sandwich or entree is at least 12$ if i remember correctly, but that's pretty comparable to other foods in maui. Also the homemade chocolate chip cookie is the bomb! Will definitely return on the next maui trip!

  • Nadeem P.

    Awesome diamond in the rough. The sandwiches are amazing, you can't go wrong with any of your choices. We had the seared ahi and the shrimp blt, both were delicious. We also had the oyster shooters and seaweed salad, and experienced tastebud tingling sensations we have never felt before. Don't let the strip mall facade influence you, what awaits you inside is worth multiple visits!

    Great place to by fresh fish. My family and I bought raw opakapaka from the market and grilled it on the beach ourselves. They have a 10 minute marinade (soy ginger) that was fantastic!

  • randall s.

    This isn't the chain store you find in California. We thought it might be.... I had the Seared Ahi Sandwich. They mostly have sandwiches and some tacos and burritos. I had a huge cut of Ahi in mine. It was fresh and could have gone is sushi. It would have cost be 20 plus anywhere else. 11 bucks. Awesome. This place is close to the Aston Mahana where we stayed so I have to give it the thumbs up.

    (4)

  • Mike H.

    Delicious and fresh tacos. I got the variety combo of mahimahi, shrimp and kalua pork tacos. They were all really tasty and the ingredients were very fresh. They had pico de gallo, lettuce and fresh lime for every taco and you could add fresh guacamole for only $1 which was really tasty too. The older dude taking our order seemed a little inconvenienced to take our order though and it come out a little slow but was worth the wait and still hot when it did come out. There is a fresh fish market on the other side that seemed pretty busy too.

  • Tim R.

    Read previous Yelp reviews otherwise I would have probably driven past without stopping. Great food. Between the four of us we have tacos, Ahi steak and the fish burger. A beer would have been good.

  • Alvin B.

    What an amazing find! We wanted some fish, but wanted to steer clear from the overpriced, underwhelming places in Lahaina and Whaler's Village. This place, located in a nondescript strip mall fit the bill. Excellent food at very reasonable prices. A must visit place.

  • Eliza Z.

    Came here last week on our vacation, and this was one of the best places we ate. The fish was fresh, and in comparison to most places on Maui, this was quite the steal. I ordered the catch of the day plate with ahi, and my dining companion ordered the same except with ono. The ahi plate was huge - three large pieces of seared tuna for only $13! It came with a pretty awesome wasabi mayo dipping sauce. The ono plate came with one large piece of fish and a more tartar-like sauce. We split 2 plates between 4 people and it was more than enough food. We also ordered a shoyu poke, and it was the best poke we had on our trip (and we ate poke almost every day!)

  • maverick m.

    Went out of my way to seek out this place because of the internet hype and based on that it was a disappointment. The pictures on YELP are beautiful but looking at the inside, this is not a place I would try sashimi at. Had the cajun shrimp taco, cajun fish taco and shrimp bisque and it was edible, but nothing to rave over. The salt and cajun spices overpowered the seafood. I went here for the cheap lunch and rave reviews. Tacos were $4 each so it definately was inexpensive. Bisque was more like tomatoe soup and I could not fish a bit of lobster in it. Overall it was edible, but I would not return here.

  • Howard K.

    Had the Sloppy Jim sandwich ($10.99) and the Ahi Burrito ($12.99). The pork in the Jim was tender and I love everything with BBQ sauce, including fries. The Ahi burrito was fresh and tasty, but strangely I was more enticed by the chips and salsa. I think it was partly due to fish overdose but all in all, a good and relatively cheap restaurant in Honokowai. When you head down Lower Honoapiilani Rd., you have to keep going past the first plaza and a bunch of condos before you hit the mall that has the Fish Market. The mall is called 5A Storage and the sign looks like... you guessed it.... "AAAAA Storage". There's also a small seafood deli in the Fish Market that sells fresh cuts of fish, including sashimi-grade ahi but didn't try it, so can't vouch, yeah?

  • Melissa L.

    the seared ahi sandwich was so juicy and delicious! we also tried the mahi mahi tacos which were not as good because the cajun seasoning was a little overwhelming after a couple bites. Overall a nice little quick stop place with fresh fish

  • Samantha S.

    Stopped by for some lunch. Very busy place with lots of locals. That of course is a good sign. Well...not so much. Shared the lobster bisque, took one bite and almost gagged. Can taste the strong flavor of flour, the bisque had a paste feel to it. I got the Kulua Pork. I highly recommend this. It was very moist with lots of flavor. A definite must try. Because of the Kulua Pork I bumped the rating to two stars instead of one star. My friend got the crab melt and he said it was just ok.

    (2)

  • Jules K.

    I haven't had the sandwiches or to go food, I simply come here for one thing. Fresh fish, locally caught, good quality. That and the Poke. Fish is expensive. That is just how it is. But what a treat. Had the spearfish, which we grilled, and the ono, which we baked. Very good fish market. but not cheap. And you ARE getting what you pay for.

  • n n.

    Would give it a 3.5. The two surfer dudes running the place couldn't care less about your order but the food was very good. I wouldn't normally recommend doing this for raw fish but the poke was still good the next morning!

    Nice staff, reasonably priced food with good portion sizes, but the food could use some work in the taste department. I got fish and pork tacos. They were just ok. Nothing mind-blowing, but they cured my hunger and I wasn't angry as a result of said action.

  • Jaime N.

    We got food from here 3 times during our week long vacation in Maui. Took Jimmy's advice each night and we were not disappointed! The best thing we had was the mon chong in macadamia crust with sweet chili butter. Best thing we ate all week. Soooooo good! Honestly can't wait to go back just to eat here!

  • stephanie i.

    Do you like poke? I mean do you really like it? With ogo, and hawaiian salt and all the goodness of the ocean? If you do and if you are in the Ka'anapli or even the Napili Bay area make the 10 minute drive to Fish Market and you will be so happy you did. Their bumper sticker: "Got Fish?" My answer: We do after hitting up your store! If you are staying in a condo or somewhere with a grill or kitchen you'll also want to make the trip there so you can pick up some of the freshest fish ever. The guys behind the counter of this small and non-descript store know their stuff and can help you pick the kind of fish that's right for you. They also have amazing marinades that they can pack the fish in for you. MMMMMMMM Ono baby. Ono!

    Got fish? I did...like a whole pound of ahi poke - spicy style. I shared with the BF, but i'm sure I ate most of it! Super fresh ahi, so good... -1 point for no limu =( They had a beautiful selection of fresh fish and a variety of marinades and cooking rubs. Wish I had access to a BBQ while I was here because I would have been all over that fish like flies on sh....nevermind. If you love poke, be sure to stop by!

  • Jull Y.

    Don't bother coming here. If you're a poke enthusiast, you're in for disappointment. If you're going to name your place "FISH MARKET" then you should have good fish... i guess I was wrong. They drowned the ahi cubes in shoyu and sesame oil! Not much poke selection either. When I say not much, I meant they only have one type pre made. and just add hot oil if you want it spicy. You want to get good poke on Maui? go to Foodland not in Lahaina (I know huh? that says a lot about this place.) I feel like because it's located in the heart of all these bougie resorts in Lahaina, they just jack up the price... and to be honest, a lot of tourists who are staying in Lahaina can't differentiate what's good in sashimi standards... Also had the ono burger... OH NO! it's all mayo! yuck! save your calories and time to go somewhere else. I DON'T GET WHY PEOPLE REVIEW THIS PLACE SO HIGHLY! SUPER SHOCKING! on a nicer note... the staff were friendly.

  • YMN V.

    Stumbled across this place from yelp since we are also nearby. Ordered Ono burger, fish tacos, ahi poke. It's really not worth the price but I guess most place in Maui is a tad expensive on most stuff. I had the tacos and didn't really liked the excess Cajun marinate. The Ono burger wasn't tasty either. The only thing that was good is the ahi poke. You can't go wrong with the soy sauce, onions, and fresh fish of the poke. With limited restaurant choices here I guess this might be one of those places you have to stop by to get some food or cook haha

    If you're a tourist to this island like me, I would take The Fish Market out of "places to visit" list because it was not what imagined. The restaurant is just a small take out shop with a few chairs and tables. Their fish taco and fish burrito were average. Nothing special about place. Actually I ate much better fish taco in San Diego than here.

    There's really not too much to say about this place, other than it has the freshest most tasty seafood I've ever eaten. Try the ahi poke it will change your life. Their ocean salad (seaweed salad) is so good it literally disappeared out of its bowl I ate it so quickly! If you're in Lahaina, don't pass this place up!!

    Delicious seared ahi sandwich! I'll be going back here as long as I'm in Hawaii to try the rest of the menu.

    Food is good but it should cost half the price for the quantity you get, lack of ambiance and limited seating. Nothing exceptional, just properly seasoned fish...it is a safe choice if you are close by but don't drive more than 10min for this place.

  • J B.

    DO IT!!!! You wont be sorry. We got the take out- take your own fish home. We got 1 piece of mahi mahi and another piece of sword fish. Holy COW! This stuff is so FRESH! You push on the flesh and it bounces right back, it doesn't even smell fishy! We bbq it at home. Best fish we have ever had in our LIFE!!!!!! Yes, it is slightly pricey but you really get what you pay for, the quality is amazing and it beats going out and paying 25-50$ a plate at a local restaurant!

    F'ing INCREDIBLE food!!!! Had both the tacos and the seared ahi sandwich and I almost juiced myself it was THAT delicious! True story!

    Me and my gf came here for lunch last week. I ordered the Mahi lunch plate and my gf ordered the chicken BLT sandwich. The fish was fresh and the sandwich was pretty good too. The reason I am giving this place 3 stars instead of 4 is because I think the Mixed Plate offer similar dishes with a lower prices.

    Started off the week doing those over-priced nice restaurants. Tired of all that just wanted a good quick lunch. This did the trick. Had the Seared Ahi Steak sandwich here. Awesome. The wasabi aioli is a nice touch, the bread is crispy. Also had the Fresh Fish of the day which was an Ono. Awesome. There is a place in San Diego called Blue Water Seafood Market & Grill that mirrors the quality of food of this place. I went back again for lunch today because it's....awesome. Not much atmosphere but great food.

    Mahi sandwich was delicious... Shrimp Gumbo soup was not. It tasted bland and old... stick to the sandwiches and you'll be good. Stay away from the Shrimp Gumbo. $1 oysters are good too. Nice spice to them.

  • Dave T.

    Nice little place and the fish on the market side looked great. Had the fish tacos and I give them 4 out of 5. The seasoning on the fish was alright for m/e, but could be a little strong for some.

    I've been going to Maui pretty regularly for 30 years because my sister lives there. In that time this place is one of those little gems that looks pretty uninteresting from the street and even inside but quickly became a regular stop for everyone in my family. It's a small fish market which expanded a while ago and now also sells yummy sandwiches, tacos, and more. The owners and staff are extremely friendly and the food is terrific. We routinely enjoy the poki, ahi sandwiches, fish tacos, lobster salad, and more.

    (5)

  • Nerissa C.

    All the fish they serve is caught locally, and based on our experienced, I'd vouch for them. We ordered the ahi tuna melt and the crab melt, both on fresh, focaccia bread. The salad and vinegarette were surprisingly good. What a treat! I'm definitely going back.

    Two mahi, one shrimp taco on soft shell - yummy. Next time I should skip the shrimp and just do all three mahi. Shrimp was just meh. Choose your own hot sauces. $9.95 Fresh fish plate lunch (one piece of three different fish) with rice and mac salad- not bad. But fish portions were smaller than hubby expected. I like the mac salad here over Okazuya Deli. $12.99. Hubby was still hungry so he got $5 worth of tuna salad in their deli section. My tacos were doubled up so I left three empty soft shells behind and he used them to wrap up his tuna for a tuna salad taco. He filled up on that. Good no bs food, we like that. They had lots of other stuff like lobster salad, pokes, soups, etc. Would come back again.

    Tuna melt or mahi sandwich cant go wrong. Salad w/extra house dressing sooo good

    A good fresh fish sandwich or taco to take to the beach. Fresh off the boat. Had higher expectations from earlier reviews. Hoping for fresh fish and chips , but not on the menu. Take-out service at table service prices. Still, quick and good.

  • Art I.

    We hit this for sashimi grade ahi to take to the place where we were staying. It just looked too good in the case. Hey, it's a fish market. O man. Da best. Beautiful color. Smells like the ocean, no fishy. Dissolves in your mouth. So good. Local fishermen coming through doing business. Transaction? Hand over wad of cash, joke a bit, done. Love that stuff.

    A must try when in Maui. Great fish!! Great staff!! Fun experience. I LOVED the mahi taco's..... a bit spicier than normal yet incredibly good.

  • Danielle C.

    Recommended by Mark, our Eco Tour Guide, and a good one at that! My lobster salad was delicious. The mahi mahi sandwich divine. The girl who took our order seemed a bit bored with life. They also wrap up some fresh fish for you with sauce and all, to go, so you can throw it on the grill.

  • Bernard L.

    A down to earth eatery. We've ordered the ono burger, and catch of the day sandwich. Both are delish. We've also tried their poke and it is simple and yummy. If you like fish, this is the place for you. Did I also mention that their prices are very reasonable? Bon Appetit

    OMG!!!! It came out right away after the first bite!!!! I had the Marlin Fish Burger. I would say it's the best of the best!! Juicy fish with their homemade tartar sauce. AWESOME!!

  • Brian G.

    Nice place for a quick lunch. The ahi seared burger was simple yet tasty. The bread was sweet and topped with caramelized onions. Not much to write home about, but good enough that we might return for another lunch during our week long trip.

  • Phuong T.

    I was really looking forward to the popular seared ahi tuna sandwich, but I was not aware that the sauce for it was wasabi-based, and I dislike wasabi in small amounts and hate it in large amounts. That being said, I'm sure I would've enjoyed it more without the sauce. But the service was excellent, and so was the poke and the oyster shooters!

    (3)

  • Joyce Z.

    Like some of the other reviews, this is a wonderful place to get fresh fish if you're staying in a condo. Even though it will be $25 for fish for 2 people, it is still a deal as where else in Maui can you get a fresh fish dinner for $25. The fish selection changes daily based on what's fresh and we love to choose the the more "exotic" fishes like the opah (moonfish), uku (grey snapper), or onaga (red snapper) when it is available and they will advise how long to roast it for. Usually we'll get 2-3 pieces of fish with the macadamia nut topping and 1 lb. of ahi poke and we are set!!

    Picked up two steaks of butterfish and was extremely satisfied. Service was great and helpful. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for fresh fish to take home and cook.

  • Kaity B.

    love love LOVED. The guy who worked here was the epitome of a Maui Beach bum, he was super friendly and had great recommendations. The fish is very fresh and prepared well. I definitely recommend grabbing lunch here at least one day. Its perfect for a midday bite in between beach or pool time. Sandwiches, salads, soups, crabcakes, fish tacos, etc. something for everyone!

    I just came back from hawaii on August 13th and I went to this place while we stayed in Kaanapali. This place may look like a fast food joint but they totally have gourmet high class and high quality food here !!!!! I had the 3 different taco's here and they were sooo fricken delicious and I have never tasted an ahi tuna sandwich that was so mouthwatering yummolicious like the one I had here!!! They made my stay in Maui a memorable one too!!! They also gave me cool bumper stickers for free that shows what a cool place this is too!!!

    The pork tacos were amazing...just expensive. (hubbie) Me, the wife, had the Poki and some Oyster shooters... the poki fish was amazing, but WAY too may onions. the Shooters were Way too drown in cocktail sauce. Overall , we were impressed. THANKS!

  • Juchin C.

    I was extremely disappointed! I was on Maui for 6 weeks volunteering and I was eating on a budget. Maybe my experience would have been different if I had ordered something else. But when you can't get the basics of cooking rice and making good macaroni salad, my only recommendation would be to eat at your own risk! The people who were working that day seemed some indifferent about the quality of food that they were putting out. The rice was undercooked and the macaroni salad was too wet and tasteless. I've had better mac salad from a grocery store while I was on Maui. I was disappointed by this place and the four star review from yelp!

    (1)

  • Ron M.

    A little more fast food hole in the wall than I was expecting. The seared tuna was "food" but not very good food. My wife had the side salad which she did not finish. Not because of the portion size but the poor taste. We will not go again.

    (1)

  • John G.

    Based on the body of Yelp reviews, and proximity to Zensations, we tried the Fish Market and really really liked it. The prices may seem high for some folks, but the quality matched the pricing in our minds. The seared Ahi steak sandwich was outstanding. A generous ahi steak on a roll, with caramelized onions and an world class wasabi aioli had has coming back for more. The fish sandwich of the day (can't recall the variety) was good, but the foccacia bread was too soft and disintegrated due to the tasty pesto. Tasted very good, but it needs a more resilient bread. The poke was outstanding (tried the ahi and the octopus). They seasoned the orders real time, so the fish was not sitting for too long in the soy sauce. $1 oyster shooters in a spicy cocktail sauce were a tasty starter as we waited for the sandwiches. There was very limited counter seating and few chairs/tables outside, so take out seems to be the way to go.

  • Mark D.

    My dinner waltzed in behind me, just caught by a local fisherman, and was filet'd up, set in an oven-friendly pan with a killer prep and some sea salad in under 15 min. Great sandwiches too

  • Bill F.

    We've had lunch here three times (so far) in our last two visits to Maui, an have never been disappointed. The food is always quick, fresh, creative, and excellent. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because it's a funky little carryout joint, no seating, no liquor license.

    A great place if your hotel/condo is in the area. While you can eat in, or on one of the tables outside along the trip mall parking lot, we ordered a variety of food and took it back to the room. There were three soups on the menu that evening. At the suggestion of the staff, we ordered the lobster bisque. Though nicely flavored, it was surprisingly thick for a bisque. We got a taco trio and enjoyed all three, though they were very different, kahula pork, blackened shrimp, and fish. We also had the fish sandwich special of the day. The papio was a firm, very fresh fish and was garnished with lovely maui onions, in addition to pesto and the normal lettuce and tomato. Nice people, fresh fish, and good value. Absolutely worth trying if you are staying in the area. You'll get great food at a fraction of the cost of some of the sit-down, eat-in restaurants.

  • Jennifer M.

    We had a little trouble finding this place, but once we did oh what a treat! We purchased an opakapaka (pink snapper) fillet, and while it was definitely pricey at about $20 a pound it was totally worth it. The fish when cooked was light, moist, and delicately flavored - I think this is my new favorite fish. The staff are really friendly and the shop is very clean. The fish that they sell here is definitely fresh and worth every penny you pay for it.

    (5)

  • Caleb M.

    Delicious food here but you'll want to take it to go. This isn't a spot to hang out. The fish sandwich I ordered was good but spendy. I had a lot of recommendations sending me here. While it was good I'm not sure it lived up to the expectations. I'm going to give them another try.

  • Jim K.

    We got take out from Fish Market Maui for dinner our first night on the island. We didn't plan to take it back to our condo, but they have limited seating. This meant standing around for a while waiting for our order. The restaurant is a store front in a strip mall. The place is not much to look at, but you can tell by the number of locals and tourists waiting in line that the food is great. We got lunch there on another day with a phone-in order. This is definitely the way to go to avoid standing around while your food is prepared. All food is expensive in Hawaii. Prices here are reasonable (tacos are $4-5 apiece, and 2 make a good meal) and the food is good. We had several preparations of the fish tacos and all were tasty. Fish Market Maui is convenient to the Kaanapali resort area, only about a 5 minute drive. This is a good place for takeout if you want to take a break from sit-down restaurants

  • Jasmine H.

    Best tacos in Maui! For the last 10 days we have pretty much tried every popular fish toco place we could find, the fish market has the best by far. The Baja fish taco is the best and the fajita taco was amazing.

    (5)

  • Susan L.

    Was our first time there. Workers were very friendly. Service was great. Good even better. We ordered fish tacos and shrimp tacos and the "fish of the day" which was Ahi, burrito. Fish tacos were good. Shrimp tacos delish but that burrito OMG. My husband and I were fighting over it.

    The shrimp burrito was the best thing I've eaten this whole trip. Fish tacos were also good. The fish was extremely fresh and perfectly cooked. Perfect all around.

  • Steve E.

    We were upset that we waited until the night we were leaving Maui to try out the fish market. This was by the far the freshest fish meal we had. We had both the mahi tacos and the calamari steak sandwich. Both meals were delicious. We got our order to go so we could watch sunset across the street in the public park. This was a perfect ending to our vacation in Maui

    (5)

  • Jenny W.

    The seared ahi sandwich was delicious. Everything paired perfectly, including the wasabi sauce - which was extremely surprising considering that I hate wasabi. But it added just the right balance to complete the sandwich. The chowder was extremely savory, though the fish chunks didn't taste very good. The fish taco was extremely disappointing, not very flavorful and seemed to only taste of the salsa. I didn't enjoy the fish of the day burrito (fish of the day was mahi mahi), but that's because I don't like Mexican food and spicy food. My dad was a huge fan (apparently his favorite thing he ate the entire trip). Also, don't be deceived - it's not cheap ($14 for a sandwich!) but perhaps it's good for Maui prices.

    (4)

  • Brian T.

    The Fish Market Maui has some seriously good baja fish tacos. We also ordered the calamari steak sandwich which came with fries. The fries were terrific and the sandwich was tasty. I found the sweet thai chili sauce a little too sweet and the calamari steak a little too thin for the amount of bread. We also ordered from their take-home/grocery section. We picked up some mahi mahi and their crab cakes. The crab cakes are ridiculously large for $8.50 and they tasted awesome. The mahi mahi was very flaky but we tried their marinade (honey ginger something soy?) and it was just okay. Overall, the place is great with some delicious items on their menu.

    Incredible fresh fish. Had the seared ahi tuna sandwich after reading these reviews. Did not disappoint. Hardly any seating inside (and to be honest...it smells fishy in there, no surprise). Had to wait for one of the tiny tables out near the parking lot to open up. Might be best to grab and go back to the beach. But very memorable and worth another visit!

  • Adam L.

    Food was tasty, but.... Ordered the ahi sandwich and my family had crab cake sandwich, blt, and Keiki quesadillas. Food sufficed for our staycation from Oahu, but the service was a joke. Not that we even needed service, this place is more of a takeout than anything but the girl at the register was classic. Even my 7 yr old son was tripping. We were pondering the menu while she sat at the register and grinded her meal. Looking at us like we were gonna steal a bite from her. Meanwhile Brudda in the back is screaming out some song or something. All I have to say is when I go out to pay for food, the food part of it is only a portion of our experience. I work hard for my money and when I spend it on a dining experience for my family, I expect the "experience" part to be solid also.. Just saying!!

    Love their poke a lot. We went there late one time and all the poke are sold out. Try to get there early. Beside the poke, coconut shrimp is yummy too.

    For years we have known the Fish Market as a solid place to buy fish for our BBQ. I hadn't stopped in on our last few trips to Maui, and was totally surprised to see they've now expanded into a take-out style restaurant as well. The Baja fish tacos were fantastic. Some of the best fish tacos I've ever had. Can't remember what kind of fish it was, but it was delicate and moist, fried "fish & chips" style. Their batter is light and crunchy. It came with some sort of creamy sauce over it and pica de gallo. The tacos are each wrapped with two tortilla shells, presumably to keep the liquid in the sauces from leaking through. $4.xx for each taco. Overall, excellent food. I'll be back for sure. Just keep in mind, don't come here looking for a quaint dining atmosphere - the tables are located on a sidewalk outside the store, right in a parking lot. Still, the food's worth it.

    (5)

  • N Y.

    Great place to purchase fresh fish and grill at your condo. They also sell sauces and have small aluminum containers for you to marinate the fish- it's one stop shop for your grill. They have expanded and sell food ...their baja fish taco is excellent.

    (5)

  • Danielle S.

    I should preface this review by saying that my husband ordered the fish burrito, loved it, and keeps trying to drag me back for more. I, on the other hand, had an underwhelming experience. I ordered both the fish taco and pork taco. The only sauce that comes with them is pico de gallo which was not enough flavor. The fish tacos tasted dry and dull. They were easily the worst fish tacos I ever had. The pork was better, but over cooked and over salted. I ended up dipping the tacos into the run off sauce on my husbands burrito to make them more palatable.

    (2)

  • Katelyn B.

    Came here because I saw good reviews about the lobster bisque... But it should be called lobster chowder, it was most definitely not a bisque, get wit it! and it wasn't very appealing to me either because it had a lot of celery in it.. but I got to try a fish stick and some coconut shrimp and those were very good !

    (3)

  • Randy R.

    I've eaten here numerous times and each time it has been delicious. I've had the fish tacos, seared ahi burger and oyster shooters. All awesome. This place is highly recommended. Lines can get long and the wait time is long also but that's because everything is made to order. Call in your order ahead of time to avoid the wait. Hope my review helps.

    (5)

  • Brandy R.

    This place is great! I tried Poke from many different places in Maui, including Food Land and Tamura's, and the Fish Market was by FAR by favorite! The Ahi was melt in your mouth amazing! We also really enjoyed the ceviche! Do yourself a favor and buy a bag of their fresh chips to go along with it. The staff was very helpful and they let you sample anything you want before you buy it. Definitely recommend this place if you care about the quality of fish you put in your mouth!

    We went with the fish burrito and the pork tacos. Both knocked it out of the park, or as they say .... broke our mouths. Pro pointer - get the thai cilantro sauce on the side with your fish burrito.

  • Holly L.

    Fish Market Maui has great fish tacos and fish sandwiches. We dined here twice and both times, the fish was fresh and tasty. The fish taco has a huge piece of fish filet. The fish to other ingredients ratio was perfect. We also ordered fresh Ahi to go and it tasted like it was caught a few hours earlier.

    (5)

  • Alex C.

    Excellent seared ahi tuna sandwich, fish tacos, ahi sashimi and tuna poke. All their tuna is super fresh and far superior to the poke we had at nearby grocery stores in Lahaina. We went here twice. You'll pay a little more given that it isn't a full service restaurant, but you get what you pay for.

    (5)

  • Claudia K.

    This is my first trip to Maui and this place by far has the best ahi poke... Not much of a place to sit and enjoy due to limited sitting but if you take it to go it is to die for. They make it fresh daily and it is above and beyond fresh. I recommend this place to anyone who's looking for some affordable local poke.

  • Veronica L.

    The fish were really fresh and very tasty . Fast service. It does get crowded during dinner hours. And not too many tables. My son said it was the best fish tacos he ever had and the fish with the mango was perfect. Will come back again.

  • Bryce L.

    Best shrimp and chips I have had in a while. Great panko breading and is seasoned aggressive which is nice. I liked the dip they served with them as well. The fish tacos is what everyone is raving about and I now know why. Those are the bomb!!! If you are on the west side of Maui this place is a must. You get great food fast service and is priced reasonable for the quality and quantity you get. I will be back.

  • Patra B.

    This place was on my foodie adventure list before I even got to Maui, and I ended up stumbling upon it when I was going to Okazuya & Deli Honokowai a few doors down. I wanted to come here for the poke, but every time I came, they sold out. Instead, I discovered that they have awesome Baja Fish Tacos!!! On my first visit, I got two tacos to go. When I got back to the condo, the tacos were still hot, and the fish was still super crispy. I loved the tacos so much, I came back for lunch another day. I never ended up trying the poke, but one of the employees gave me a good tip. Call ahead in the morning and have them set some aside for you to pick up later!

  • Anne J.

    Fish: fantastic. Prices: no bargain. $60 for lunch for 4 (2 kids included, but they ate off the regular menu) and the attractive fish in the case was all at least $20/lb. Just be warned - it's delicious but not one of the few great deals on Maui.

    (4)

    I concur with all these other great reviews. Fish chowder was great! Huge chunks of fish. Seared ahi was incredibly fresh and delicious. Get there early if you want poke. They run out fast.

    Poke made on the spot. Done. After I read a review about a grocery store using carbon monoxide in their poke, I knew I had to find another place. I ordered one pound of poke here, mild, and it didn't disappoint.

  • rosa S.

    Call in your order, pick it up and head back to the beach or pool! We had 2 families with small children and this made for an easy and yummy lunch. People at the resort looked longingly at our food as they ate the same ol' same ol' burger and fries for $20 deal. Not cheap, but for the taste, a worthy meal deal. Ono Ono Burgers! Awesome Ahi Tuna Melts. Comes with yummy side salad and "de-lish" dressing which is the refreshing difference between these guys and their neighbors. We were staying at a resort and by mid-week, desperate for some greens. Open 7 days a week and friendly surfer/hippie dudes/staff

    we were staying nearby and wanted some good local food and found this place on yelp. I had the ohnio something fish sandwich which was their special of the day. the salad that it came with was fresh, clean, and crisp and the dressing that it came with was nice. the croutons were also nice and crunchy. this fish sandwich was wonderful. it ain't no mickey d's. the fish was cooked perfectly. the bread was nice and soft and wasn't too big/thick that it took away from the flavor of the fish. it held the sandwich together just nice. the oils that were put on the sandwich tied everything together and gave it a nice overall flavor. i'd definitely have this sandwich again and the wife agreed. the wifey had three taces, shrimp and mahi mahi. the tacos were pretty good. the shrimp and mahi were a bit over seasoned for our tastes and took away from the flavor of the fish. it might be a bit pricey, but hey you're in kaanapali what the heck do you expect? if you don't like it, don't come here or stay/eat nearby. the service was good. it is in a strip mall and not much seating, but so what. this rating is based on the quality and taste of the food that I had. all in all, we're going back for sure if we have time!

  • Keets P.

    We had the best Mahi Mahi & Swordfish which we BBQ'd at our condo accross the street. The fish Ceviche was also amazing. Comparable to what I've tried in the past in Spain & Chile. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The only draw back was the price. Our meal was comparable to what we paid dining out on a previous night while we still had to do the work of marinating & cooking. Be sure to go early for best selection.

  • Charles C.

    At lunch I saw several tourists walk up take a look at the menu and grumble at the price of the sandwiches and leave. All the time the locals kept coming in. I understand that when most people think of a sandwich they're wanting to spend under 10 bucks, but if you're looking at the Fish Market menu this way you're going about it all wrong. First off the fish, is fresh and very tasty, better than most sit down seafood joints that would cost much more and on top of that the portions are not small. The sandwiches are crafted with care and the ingredients down to the bread are scrumptious. All and all the Fish Market is actually a bargain considering what you get for what you pay and aside from that its just darn good food!

    Saving up for our big splurge at Sensei, but we couldn't wait...dying for a snack. She had the cajun taco trio and I had the fish chowder. Fresh, simple, delicious! Thanks Fish Market!

    Came here my last night on Maui. We ordered the ahi sandwich (rare of course), ocean salad, and a fish taco. All were super yummy. Though the sandwich bun was soft and tasty, I had OD'd on carbs so I ended up eating the ahi, cabbage, onions and HEAVENLY sauce on the delicious house made chips...I almost ate my own finger at one point Glad I made it in

    I'm from Southern California, spoiled with the best chefs in the world. Yet, somehow this whole in the wall spot has the BEST FISH TACOS I've ever tasted!

    If you're staying in the West Maui area (Ka'anapali, Kapalua, Napili, etc), and have a kitchen/grill available, this is definitely worth adding to the quiver (instead of grilling just your usual dogs/burgers/chicken/etc). The fish is fresh, and the guys behind the counter are really helpful if you're unsure of how to cook/prep the fish. Basically, you pick a fish, optionally choose a flavoring (they have marinades and dry rubs), and if you want, they can throw it in an aluminum pan, which you can throw right on the grill/oven (after taking off the plastic wrap of course). Only downside is it ain't exactly cheap - though I guess if you're comparing it to the other foods on the island, it isn't really THAT bad. On average it worked out to roughly $20/fish piece each time we got food there, though if you're eating other stuff (dogs/burgers/veggies/etc), a piece of fish can serve a few people. We learned that after the first time when we got a piece of fish per person...and ended up with quite a bit of fish leftover. They also have various salads (potato, mac, seaweed, etc), poke (ahi, tako), and soup (lobster bisque, maybe a chowder) there, plus there's some cooked food too.

    Ample seating! Both in and outside. 10 or so bar stools inside and 4 tables outside. Came at 3pm so that obviously has an impact on seats available. Mac crusted Mahi with pineapple salsa was so light and had nice subtle flavors! Seared ahi steak sandwich was also very good (got it blackened). Carmelized onions was a perfect touch. Nice sweetness to them and perfect velvety texture. Wasabi aoli didn't take over the flavor of the burger which was nice. Oyster shooters were the best oysters I've ever had- so tender. Can order them without the cocktail sauce if u want and use some of their other sauces at the bar/counter.

    Stumbled upon this place while cruisin around Honokowai last Sunday on July 4th weekend. Everything else on the island seemed waaay too crowded! We stopped at the brew pub (which we love) & Dollie's (also awesome), however we are not sports people at all & weren't aware the soccer World Cup was on which made for a loud, obnoxious ambiance in both of those places. This place was quiet, chill, friendly & the food was killer! I had the special fish plate of the day which was coconut crusted monchong with a piña colada sauce & fresh mango/pineapple salsa. It was on the sweet side (which I love), cooked perfectly, really tasty fish with a scoop of Mac salad & rice. My husband got the grilled fish sandwich, also delicious. The tartar sauce was a bit different than most, in a good way & the bun had a lot of yummy herbs on it, served with house made potato chips & tasty coleslaw. They also had a counter where you could bring home beautiful fresh fish filets for your own cooking, as well as some good looking poke too! The only reason I can't give 5 stars is because I did feel it was a bit overpriced for the portion sizes & the seating inside is just a few really uncomfortable wooden stools as well as a few outdoor tables in the blazing sun with no shade. I would take my meal to go the next time!

    Delicious food at a good price! We had the ahi tun melt and fish, pork tacos. More made chips are great and the cilantro Baka sauce is unreal!

    That was seriously the best Baja fish taco I have ever had! The fish was so fresh and the cream sauce was tasty. My husband had the fish fajita tacos, which were equally as good ( and healthier). They are good sized tacos so two is an ample meal. My new favorite taco place on Maui!

  • Victoria O.

    Great lunch spot to take a break from the sun! Ordered fajita fish taco (mahi mahi with a light really good creamy sauce), shrimp taco, mahi mahi burrito, along with fresh ahi poke and lobster salad from the deli section. Highly recommend the lobster salad!

  • Lou K.

    For a small place in a strip mall this place is the bomb. You can get fresh fish and poke from the fish counter or prepared food in the restaurant portion. This is more of a carry out place but there are a few seats inside as well as a few tables outside. Fish tacos, burritos awesome. The fries calamari is slices of calamari steak not the typical rings and tentacles. The coconut shrimp was the best I've had. You can really taste the coconut. Kalyan pork was ok, not the greatest but not bad. But hey you come here for the seafood not meat right? We did lunch and dinner here and food is great, always a crowd. People know quality food at a good price. Don't miss the ahi and tako poke. The lobster salad was also quite tasty. Service not fast but acceptable.

    Their fish tacos are AMAZING! We ate here at least 5 times on our last trip. I loved both the cajun style tacos and the baja beer battered ones, it's so hard to pick a favorite. Prices are reasonable to high ($10 I think for two tacos, extra for sides). The pico was really good too, I couldn't get enough! There wasn't really much seating inside- a few bar stools along the wall. There was some seating outside and parking in that little strip mall. They have other plates but why bother- the fish tacos are so good.

    Great food! Friendly staff! I asked Garrett at register to recommend a good Paleo option. He suggested the Seared Ahi and Ceviche. It was perfectly seared with an almost blacked type rub. Perfectly tender piece of fish, knife not a necessity. The sauce though wasn't Paleo, was a heavenly complement. Ceviche was spicy and delish! My sister had the fish tacos, she said they were out standing.

    Best food in Maui . Thank you yelp !!! This place is amazing and I'm from California. I don't even eat fish but decided to stop in because of the amazing reviews. The FISH TACOS are the best and I also had a pork burrito.

    We ate lunch at The Fish Market after receiving the recommendations of two locals. The fish and chips were very good, and my wife really enjoyed her Shrimp Burrito. The Seafood Chowder was a little bland. This place is not "inexpensive", like many other fish and chips places in the area are, but I feel the quality of their panko-breaded fish is probably better than most.

    This is a non touristy hole in the wall in a touristy area. A lot of locals like this place. The food is freshly caught, and prepared. Oyster shots for $1. They the Kauia shrimp if it's on special. It's too die for. We came back for a second time on our way out. The fish taco was spectacular as well.

    Ono burger. Don't get distracted by any of the fried stuff. Get the ono burger! you won't be disappointed. I loved the coleslaw too. it comes with it. I got a side of fries but didn't end up eating it because the burger was so satisfying! Aloha, Fish Market Maui!

    We stopped here for fresh fish to BBQ at our condo 3 times during our 10 day stay. We loved the selection and the helpful employees who would give us BBQ tips. They also helped us pick out a marinade or flavored butter to go with our fish selection. We would get pineapple salsa here. Next time we'll try the prepared food!

    Beautiful fresh fish plus menu items. We had fish taco and shrimp burrito. Fish was grilled perfectly delicious seasoning and fresh cabbage. The shrimp burrito was light, filled with cabbage, lettuce and cheese. There are several things we would like to go back and try including the Poke. If you're a tourist staying in a condo great choice of fish to prepare at your place. Would have liked more dine-in room.

    If you are looking for "The Fish Market" i.e Paia fish market, this is not the same place and you will be disappointed. Ambience: 1/5. It's an actual fish market with a counter serving food. There is seating outside and bar style seating inside. Price: 1/5 (very expensive for what it is). The $14 burger is more like a $7 burger. Location: 3/5 it's an easy walk from the resorts although side walks are sketchy. It's located in a small strip mall. Service: 1/5 the lady serving us sure was unhappy to be talking to us. She must have been having a bad day. The food ordered: Mahi Mahi sandwich: 5/10 possibly the most thinly sliced piece of fish I have every eaten. At about 3mm thick the Mcdonalds fish sandwich appears more substantial. The grilled onions are a nice touch however overall, it's not even close to the Paia fish markets burger. Coke: was flat. Was told they are having trouble with it. Cheese quesadia: 6/10 according to my wife. They serve chips that were an 8/10 Mahi fish and chips: 7/10: 3 big pieces of Mahi which had a herb I couldn't place. Nice over all. We had it with the Cholula sauce which is very good. Overall: take time out to drive out to either Kehei or Paia to experience Paia fish market. It's totally worth travelling for. If you happen to be in the vicinity of this place and want to give it a shot then set your expectations accordingly. Typed on a phone. Please excuse the typos.

    One of the more crowded and less expensive places we checked out. Lots of prepared seafood options (tacos, burritos, plates, fried, sandwiches, burgers, etc.) and you can also pick up fresh fish to prepare at home. After reading rave reviews of their AHI FISH BURGER, we both ordered this. The fish is ground and formed into a patty and served with tomatoes, shoyu caramelized onions and shredded lettuce on an onion roll. It was okay, but a bit on the bland and dry side. It definitely needed more seasoning. We did like the bun and the housemade chips though. I think the grilled fresh fish sandwich or the seared ahi steak sandwich might be a better bet. What I did love was the SEAFOOD CHOWDER, which was a thick, cream-based soup with large chunks of fish. 16 oz. for $7, so shareable if you get something else.

    These fish sandwiches were amazing. My group and I stopped in here for a quick dinner, not realizing that the seating here is limited. Regardless, we still got our fish sandwiches and enjoyed the heck out of them. Fairly inexpensive for the amount of food that you get. The Ahi Tuna was great. I also tried a few bites out of the fish and chips. Typically, I'm skeptical to get fried fish because oftentimes it can be too greasy. Not here. The unique breading and flavor made me believe that those were the best fish and chips I have ever had. My on gripe (out of the control of the fish market) was the flies. They were EVERYWHERE! Perhaps it was the trash cans outside. Or perhaps it was because we were eating outside. But they did not back down. If it's crowded inside, you may have to deal with the bugs. Unfortunately.

  • Rebecca D.

    Awesome is all I can say. We got the Ahi Poke and it was crazy fresh! My husband doesn't really like sashimi and he loved it too. I got the shrimp burrito and I would say it was more like a wrap no rice or beans but great flavor! Husband got a fish taco and a shrimp taco. They were huge! Decent prices considering the amount of food you got. I can't wait to go back.

    Really great fresh local seafood dishes if you're staying in Lahaina. Super friendly staff was amazing and service was spectacular! We ordered the mahi mahi burrito (amazing) and seared ahi sandwich (also delicious) with a side shrimp taco. Lady also gave us half a cup of seafood chowder on the house which was lovely :) would definitely stop by again!

  • Daura A.

    Great food, that's for sure. The service is another story. We ordered a grilled mahi mahi fish plate and got a fish burger. She admitted her mistake taking the order but said the burger tastes great too and we should have it!!!??? What??!! Then she left and we stayed starring at each other wondering what to do... My boyfriend was mad but we are on vacation and who wants to be upset on vacation... We ate the burger and it tasted good but we wanted the fish plate! You pay in advanced, so there is no much you can do afterwards. Weird service...this would be a 5 stars review otherwise.

    Came here for lunch twice on our trip. Ordered the Baja fish tacos (tempura fried with crema and pico), coconut shrimp, and fish and chips. The Baja fish tacos are wonderful, two thin corn tortillas, perfectly cooked so they're not dry or crumbly. The fish, not sure what type, was white and firm, very mild in flavor. The tempura was perfect. We even walked to the beach and it was still crunchy when I opened the box. I give them props on a pico with jalapeños that actually had a kick. The crema was good, but could use a little more flavor. My husbands coconut shrimp was great, the coconut was fresh and flavorful, not overly cooked or battered. The fish and chips I wish were tempura fried like the tacos, instead were Panko crusted with herbs in the mix, was good, but a little bit of a let down after the tacos. Fried were also good, your typical battered style, thin like McDonald's. I definitely recommend this place, the portions are great and the fish is amazing. They also have their fish market section, always a good sign to buy seafood right from the source. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!

    Every time I come to Maui, I come into the Fish Market to buy tuna to make poke. Sure they sell it there, but there's something about making it yourself. Their fish is quality; super fresh. When you walk in the door, you can buy fresh fish to take home on the right, or food to order on the left. They make all kinds of stuff here; fish tacos, ahi sandwiches, etc. Definitely recommend.

    My husband and I make a point to visit this place each time we are on Maui. We have eaten there and enjoyed the food. It is fresh and well prepared. It is also fairly reasonably priced given the high quality of the seafood. In addition to eating there, we have also purchased crab cakes to cook at home - pan fry them in a little oil, and they are delicious.

  • Meredith K.

    We ended up coming here on a recommendation (for their tacos). Since it was dinner hubs ordered the Macnut Mahi Mahi - he said it was ok and he probably wouldn't order it again because it was ok. I ordered the seared Ahi sandwich w/ a green salad which was pretty good. I like their lavender vinaigrette! The reason for the 3 stars is portions were pretty small for the price. Probably one of our more expensive dinners for ordering at the counter type of dining. The fish & ingredients did seem fresh.

  • Karen R.

    One word....FRESH! So delicious! We have been here 2 days and already visited twice! The ahi sandwich, Baja fish tacos and shrimp tacos are great. The ahi poke (which you can get a various heat levels) is amazing! Definitely do not miss this spot on your trip to Maui!

  • Eric R.

    This place is awesome for fish tacos. They're really good and HUGE! I had 1 deep fried and 1 normal (fish of the day type) and they were both great. The piece of fish in the normal fish taco was like a 4-5 oz filet; it was so hard to eat because it was so big. 2 tacos will fill most people up. I hit up 4 different places for fish tacos while in Maui and all were great. This was great for portions and flavor and will not disappoint. If you're looking for another option, the food truck Da Shark Pit is an equal, but different option just down the road. Tried Ono Tacos and they were good but nothing special.
