Paia Fishmarket

Lahaina


This branch of the Maui original is located in an appealing vintage building near the banyan tree. There are picnic tables on a shady terrace, while inside it's all bright and airy. Of course the reason to come here is the superb seafood. The menu changes daily depending on what's fresh.

You can always count on fish and chips, fish tacos, excellent ono (white-fleshed wahoo), burgers and more. Beer and wine served too.
