BTW...I'd hit that! My wife and I had our fill of all kinds of seafood when we honeymooned in Maui! I had some fantastic moon fish and sashimi up there. Not to mention, I found it interesting how expensive beef, chicken and pork was in the grocery stores. All of the stuff we can't get fresh here (seafood) or hafta pay out the nose for was being sold for pennies in the grocery stores. We cooked many times on the poolside gasser at the hotel and beach parks and we gorged on the fresh, tasty and inexpensive seafood that we were able to buy in the grocery stores. We had TONS of mahimahi and I ate my weight in ahi sashimi. We want to go back SOSOSOSOSSO bad. If I could get seafood like that on a daily basis, you bet I'd be eating it EVERYDAY. :thumb: I also remember my wife having some opakapaka at a restuarant that she still raves about today.

I'm with ya there Bob! I was fortunate enough to be stationed at Pearl Harbor for 3 1/2 years back in the late 70's, early 80's. Since we were at sea 6 months a year (SSBN Submarine duty) we were also in port for 6. No room in onbase housing, so we all lived off-base, or almost all of us. I got to learn about lots of different local foods. And you sure can't get fresher seafood anywhere!
We went back a few years ago, this time to the big island, and this time had even more sashimi, mahi mahi, and I even got to catch this guy!
Almoste 6' ! (69") I'm sure the guys on the crew ate well that night! Wish we could have had some
