From Catch to Plate

The perfect end to your fishing adventure - fresh Hawaiian seafood dining

From a Successful Catch to a Perfect Meal

The perfect end to a successful day of fishing is savoring the freshest meal of your life. Whether you want a top island chef to prepare your catch or you're eager to grill it yourself, Hawaiʻi offers plenty of options to turn your hard-earned fish into a delicious memory.

There's no better place to appreciate the fish you pursued than at restaurants built on a "line-to-table" philosophy, celebrating the bounty brought in by local fishermen every day.

"Cook Your Catch" Restaurants

While not every restaurant offers a "cook your catch" service, many of Hawaiʻi's best seafood establishments are built on a "line-to-table" philosophy. It's always best to call ahead to inquire about specific policies.
