Seafood restaurants in Kaua'i

  1. A

    Tidepools

    If you're a sucker for the classic 'romantic dinner for two,' you'll enjoy Tidepools, which matches the Grand Hyatt setting in island-style extravagance. The menu favors seafood, from silky sashimi to crab-lobster cakes to the wok-seared 'ahi. Vegetarians are not forgotten, with savory grilled tofu or Shiitake mushroom mains as creative as the rest.

    Savage Shrimp

    If you're a fan of garlic and shrimp, find the white van parked on a grassy roadside patch near Koloa Landing for heaped plates of Brazilian-style shrimp cooked with garlic, coconut milk, cilantro and tomatoes. Be prepared for blazing sun and greasy fingers (the shrimp is unpeeled).

  3. Mi Casita

    The colorful mural and lively piped-in music add just the right atmosphere for the filling Mexican fare served at this cozy family-run restaurant. Standouts include the seafood lover's fajitas, with sautéed ono and tiger shrimp, and fresh fish tacos.

    Monico's Taqueria

    Hawaii is no hotbed of Mexican food so the piquantly authentic dishes made by a local girl and her Mexican husband are special indeed. Fish burritos and tacos feature the day's catch, while fresh guacamole and homemade red or green sauces awaken your tastebuds.

    Shrimp Station

    Follow your nose to this little roadside lunch window serving fresh, aromatic shrimp plates. Varieties include coconut and sweet chili. Each comes with ½lb of the critters and, of course, two scoops of rice.
