After checking the other food trucks, about 4 or 5, that share the lot with Da Fish Shack, I walked back to this one because I love fish and wanted to try the seared fish (ahi) plate on the menu, and also because of the friendly and warm aloha welcome I received when I approached this food truck the first time and asked questions about their menu which was answered unhurriedly and politely. The grilled ahi was very good - well seasoned, tender and a good portion, without the $$$$ price tag of restaurants in the town of Hana. I also enjoyed the homemade chili and pineapple sauce, and vegetable that came with my ahi. The owner also gave me a nice size sample of poke which was really fresh and delicious too! We ate at a covered picnic table which is clean and provided shade from the sun. I should mention it is an outdoor seating so keep your food covered to keep flies off your plate. A minor nuisance. Also, if you need a bathroom break, there are public restrooms in the beach located 15 minutes from this food trucks stop. Make this your stop after the Hana heavy drive and help support small local businesses! It is a good thing!

For this visit, we came for lunch and I appreciated how quickly the line moved. The food came out fresh and piping hot. To start, we split an order of calamari as an appetizer. It was breaded perfectly and wonderfully tender. I decided to try a salmon burger while my husband ordered a mahi-mahi burger. The salmon was cooked to perfection and seasoned well. It had great flavor and came with a mound of fresh hot french fries. My husband enjoyed his burger as well. So whether you visit this location or their other location, and whether you try them for lunch or dinner, you really cannot go wrong with Paia Fish Market.

They have great vegan options, but also offer non-vegan dishes as well. The staff was truly wonderful. It was raining when we went, and they even brought our food out to us in the rain, which we really appreciated. The atmosphere is so cute--you can sit upstairs under all the lights, stay dry, and just enjoy the whole vibe. The only downside we noticed was that the price for sides of sauce felt a bit expensive. But overall, such a great spot with amazing food and kind service--we'd definitely come back!

There's parking out in front, right next door is a little shops for souvenirs/gifts/jewelry and further down are some BBQ spots. Theres plenty of covered outdoor seating to take a break and stretch your legs. The island chef let us know everything is fresh and the fish for the fish n chips was marlin. Also recommended ordering the coconut shrimp which is butterflies then pounds out so you got some bigggg coconut shrimp. And finally mentioned we order the shrimp with tiger sauce instead of the garlic shrimp because the tiger sauce was his own creation of butter/garlic/sweet/heat. The fish had a light fry and the marlin was meaty. That tiger sauce OMG was finger licking good. Not too sweet and perfect for those juicy shrimp and plate of rice. Delicious!

The fish tacos were massive. The fish had good flavor, although it leaned a little on the dry side for me. The coconut shrimp, however, were my favorite thing we tried. Crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. We happened to arrive between their two happy hour windows, and while looking at the menu, we noticed that coconut shrimp were also available during the second happy hour along with other small plates. What I found odd was their happy hour policy. Apparently, you can only order from the happy hour menu if you've already purchased an entree and can show your receipt. I've never encountered that anywhere else, and it seemed like a strange business concept. Also, it is not posted anywhere that I saw. When my husband went back to order from the happy hour menu, the cashier asked if we had previously ordered food. He said yes, but our receipt was back at the table. For some reason, she had to go to the back to get approval before allowing him to order. It felt a bit awkward, especially since she was the same cashier who had taken our original order when we first arrived and we asked a bunch of questions, so I would def remember someone like me. lol That policy aside, the coconut shrimp were fantastic. I'd definitely come back for those alone.
