This is our favorite stop for Shave Ice. Located in the coconut market place, the Fish Hut is a small fast food place. They have a ton of flavors and the size of the shave ice is crazy! Price is good too. Friendly service.

Great eatery in the Coconut Marketplace. Run down shopping center, but great little seafood shack. Fresh fish, great service, no pretense, no BS. It is what it is, a seafood fast food hut. I'll go back this July!

Any time of day, this place serves up good stuff! The service rocks, the limeade is must and I've had several items from their menu, all good. Especially for the price, will always go back.

Just a walk up stand in the Coconut Market Place but they cook some A-1 fish. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the fries are generic frozen crinkle cut and the slaw was just OK. The Ono fish was fresh and grilled with seasonings to a prefection. There were 3 slender cut pieces. Prefer a thicker cut... More

A very unpretentious place tucked into the fading and semming failing cocconut marketplace. A very good menu with all the fis faves such as Ono, Ahi, etc. Very good portions, mostly in the $10-$12 range. Platters are served with rice or fries, and of course, slaw. They freely substitute when asked, and particularly when out of one item or another.... More

This place is literally a "hut" stand in the middle of the outdoor shops, with picnic tables to sit at. I discovered this place a few years ago... and I'm addicted. I have always ordered the Ono fish "burger" which is a fresh grilled fish sandwich with lettuce, tomato, sprouts, onion, and tartar sauce. Unbelievable. Juicy, fresh, and a great... More

We had originally stopped here for a shave ice which was the size of my wife's head. We came back later in the week for a lunch where she got the fish burger and I ordered the fish taco. Both of these were really really good. The grilled taste of the fish was superb and the taco size was gigantic.... More

My wife and I shared the tofu veggie wrap ($9.99). It was huge with plenty of food for two people. The wrap was stuffed brown rice, tofu, sprouts, and other goodies plus a savory sesame island sauce. The cook definitely did not skimp of the tofu. I highly recommend this restaurant and we are looking forward to eating another meal... More

My husband asked for "whatever was caught today", but the closest he got in response was "recent". We wanted fish and chips, but the guy said they were frozen. Why would I get fish and chips in Hawaii that is some generic frozen junk you can get anywhere?! We had the ahi tuna with fries (frozen) and cole slaw (bland,... More

In the Cocunut Marketplace. Good, reasonably priced, take-out food, but a couple of tables just outside where you can eat.
