Kilauea Fish Market: The North Shore's Fresh Catch

Fresh island fish, famous ahi wraps, and plate lunches worth the detour to Kilauea.

On the way to the Kilauea Lighthouse, just off the highway in Kilauea town, sits one of the North Shore's most beloved lunch stops: Kilauea Fish Market. It's part fish market, part plate-lunch counter — and the line out the door at noon tells you everything you need to know.

What to order

The legend here is the ahi wrap — sautéed ahi rolled in a spinach tortilla with brown rice, organic greens, carrots, cucumber, sprouts, and a homemade sesame island dressing. It's big enough to split and fresh enough that people plan their day around it.

Beyond the wrap:

  • Poke — fresh island fish, simply done right
  • Seared ahi plates — island-style with rice and greens
  • Fish tacos — a local favorite

Good to know

  • Where: 4270 Kilauea Rd, Suite C, Kilauea — a short detour off Kuhio Hwy on the way to the lighthouse
  • Hours: Monday–Saturday, 11:00am–8:00pm · closed Sunday
  • Seating: outdoor picnic tables
