Eskimo Candy Seafood Market, Kihue, Maui

One lesson that I wish I had learned earlier or known about eating in Hawaii in general and on Maui in particular is that you should definitely avoid places with printed menus, table settings, and even to a large extent, indoor seating. This is one such place. It didn’t start out selling food and that is still not it’s primary aim. Eskimo Candy's origin business has always been providing wholesale seafood, poultry, and meat to restaurants, hotels, and grocery stores.

After becoming success in the wholesale industry, they moved into the retail realm. In 2003, Eskimo Candy Seafood Market and Cafe was opened to the public. The desire is to serve the best Maui fresh fish and the top of the line quality food with affordable prices—the poke bowl is amazing food at an amazing price (and in a very down scale presentation), and we would go back for that and the coconut shrimp every trip we make to the island.
