Ono Fish & Shrimp Truck

If you're ever in Kaunakakai, Hawaii, and you're craving some of the freshest seafood on the island, you absolutely have to check out Ono Fish & Shrimp Truck. This little gem, located at 53 Ala Malama Ave, is a perfect example of how a humble food truck can deliver big flavors. It's not just a place to grab a quick bite; it's a place where the local flavors shine, and you get a real taste of what Moloka'i is all about.

The menu here is simple but packed with all the classic island seafood dishes you crave. You can’t go wrong with their shrimp plates, where the shrimp are cooked to perfection-plump, tender, and full of that salty-sweet flavor you'd expect from fresh, local seafood. Their fish tacos are another favorite, served with just the right amount of crispiness and topped with a light, zesty slaw that balances out the richness of the fish. The fish is always fresh, sourced locally, and grilled or fried just right. There’s something comforting about the simplicity of the dishes at Ono Fish & Shrimp Truck-they don't try to overdo it; they just focus on making everything taste great.

If you’re in the mood for something a little different, try their ono (a local fish) sandwich. It's light, fresh, and wonderfully satisfying. The fish is always cooked just right, and the sandwich bun complements it perfectly-soft, not too heavy, and just enough to hold everything together without overshadowing the star of the show. It’s a great way to enjoy the local catch in a more handheld form.

The food here is perfect for a casual meal, whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or enjoying a laid-back dinner. The truck itself is small, but there’s usually a small picnic area nearby where you can sit and enjoy your food with a view. It has that perfect food-truck vibe where you know you’re getting something made with love and care, without any fuss. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and always willing to chat about the day's catch, which really adds to the experience.

The prices are reasonable for the quality of food you're getting, especially considering the fresh seafood that’s being served. Plus, you’re getting a truly local experience-one that’s hard to find at bigger restaurants or chain spots. Whether you're a local or a visitor, Ono Fish & Shrimp Truck offers an authentic taste of Moloka'i that's both delicious and memorable.
