A great catch!

This meal is definitely in my top 10 favorite of all time...

Hands down the best fish burger/sandwich/ocean goodness I have ever had came from the Paia Fish Market. Every time I travel to Maui I have to make a trip to this place. I do not even have to glance at the menu, the Ono Burger is my meal of choice...and it is only $8.50!  


First they grill the sesame seed bun so it is a little charred on the outside and soft on the inside. The giant piece of Ono is charbroiled to perfection! It is fresh, flaky and succulent. They top it off with finely shredded cheddar cheese, tomato tarter sauce and an amazing cabbage and dill slaw, to which I am still trying to figure out the recipe. Finely, when you are ready to devour, pour a little Tiger Sauce over everything. You won't even think about your manners. It's juicy, messy and absolutely delicious. 

You will find the Paia Fish Market at 100 Hana Highway in the heart of Paia. The restaurant has a very casual, laid back atmosphere and normally a line out the door. When you make it to the front of the line you order at the counter. (Believe me...the wait is well worth it!) Go with a group, share a large basket of fries and enjoy. 

P.S. If you do happen to go...can you please ship 1 Ono Burger with fries to Minnesota for me?? Thanks!
