Eskimo Candy Seafood Market & Cafe

A nod to the owner's life-changing fishing trip to Alaska in 1987, the name "Eskimo Candy" refers to the belly strip of a smoked salmon. But don't be deceived. Though Eskimo Candy Seafood Market and Cafe knows salmon, it also specializes in Hawaiian seafood. Located three blocks from the main drag in Kihei, this eat-in or take-out place offers tourists and locals alike fresh salmon, poke, shrimp, scallops, and much more. The dining-in experience here is an experience in itself. The menu is so large, patrons teeter on the edge of being overwhelmed by the number of options. The décor--complete with a couple sharks seemingly bursting through the walls, lifelike murals of fishing boats, and a wax pirate in the corner-- is a bit kitschy but adds to the overall experience. For those feeling a little bit more on the independent side, fresh seafood is available for purchase to be cooked at home. (Note that it is only open on weekdays!) until the next day.
