Nice to see Kilauea Fish Market outside the Islander on the Beach Condominiums on Kauai. We pulled up into the parking lot of the Islander and saw a sign that said Fresh Fish. Lets give it a try I said and we were there. We entered to find a large black board with a hand written menu. The inside was a take out counter and small dining room tucked away on the side. We ordered and made our way outside to the benches and dined under an umbrella and warm Kauai sun. I tried the Ono Tacos ($12.99) Two Fresh Fish Tacos with cabbage, lettuce, cheese, salsa and garlic cilantro salsa. Wow the plate was a huge pile of cabbage, lettuce and the pre-grated cheese blend you can pick up at Costco. First off the local lettuce had no place being on this plate. There was so much cabbage and cheese that you had to take several bites before you could taste the great Ahi Tuna on the bottom. Once I got to the Ahi, the flavor was fantastic. Great flavor with the garlic cilantro sauce. We were given a tiny dish of salsa that was nowhere near enough for these two large tacos. The Ahi was great but there is just way too much cabbage and lettuce on these tacos. The Kids Meal Bean and Cheese Burrito ($5.99) was filled with a ton of brown rice. Liked the flavor of the beans and cheese. My daughter said it was good. The Ahi Wrap ($12.99) was probably the best thing we tried. Served in a Sun Dried Tomato Tortilla and filled with brown rice, carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts, onion and oriental dressing. The menu said that people come back for this item. Yes, I would go back for this. We liked the Kilauea Fish Market and will dine her again. You can eat at the tables out front or walk a few steps to the beach in front of the Islander on the Beach. This is a very welcome addition to the Kapaa neighborhood that we love to visit.
