5 Best Places to Go for Seafood on Maui
Being an island, Maui has some of the freshest seafood the world has to offer. Fishermen venture out onto the ocean daily and bring back fish, which in turn end up in restaurants all over the island. Some restaurants offer fresher and better prepared fish than others and we have put together a list of the 5 Best Places to Go to for Seafood on Maui:
Mama's Fish House
Summary
Mama's Fish House is likely the top restaurant on Maui. If the awards it has won isn't enough to convince you, talk to just about anyone on the island or anyone who has been there. The service is great and the smiles on the faces of all who work there.
In addition to the atmosphere, Mama's Fish House serves some of the freshest fish you find in a restaurant on Maui. So fresh, in fact, that the name of the fisherman who caught the fish is named in the daily printed menu.
Serving beautifully and creatively prepared dishes with a welcoming atmosphere and scenic ocean-side views of the waters on Maui's northern shore, the experience and food at Mama's Fish House is completely worth its higher cost of dining.

Nuka
Summary
Located in Haiku on Maui's northern shore, Nuka is a modern-style sushi restaurant. The service at Nuka is great and prompt and the sushi is priced competitively, especially given the freshness of the sushi. Haiku is located a little bit out of the way from the more populated areas of Maui, so this is one of the gems hidden in Maui's Haiku town.

Tamura's
Summary
Oddly enough, Tamura's is a liquor store; however, Tamura's is home to some of the most delicious poke on Maui. There are several varieties of poke and they make the poke fresh in the mornings. Because of this, as the day progresses, there are less options later in the day, but that is just a testament to the freshness of their options. Service isn't a concern as Tamura's is actually a liquor store, but if you're looking for great poke for just a quick stop, Tamura's is the place to go.
