Tried Paia Fish Market today for lunch and the food was amazing! I ordered a seafood salad with the garden salad option, Caesar dressing on the side, and mahi-mahi. The fish was perfectly cooked, wonderfully seasoned, and so flavorful. The salad was super fresh with crisp, healthy vegetables. I also got a side of deep-fried shrimp, which was phenomenal, crispy, light, and not greasy at all. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, and the portion sizes are generous, so I even had leftovers to take home. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!
WOW! We've heard good things, but this place was better than expected!!! ✨ A highlight of our trip, for sure! Beer was also reasonable. ($7)
We got there right at 11am so we didn't have to wait in a long line. Their hot sauce is really good too!

Delicious! We have been eating here for 15+ years and have always loved it! Today, I enjoyed the fish tacos, my husband had Mahi burgers, and my son loved the veggie quesadilla. It’s a nice environment with plenty of seating options, especially if you come in for an early dinner or late lunch.

Great experience here overall. The staff were incredibly kind, food was really good, and we found the prices to be quite fair. Would recommend this place and we would stop by again.
The wait looked long, but it was actually quite quick. The staff keep everything moving efficiently. We arrived about 11:50 - 12:00, took not even 10 minutes to move down the line, place our order, and get seated. Had a group of 6 and we were able to get in and out in 30 minutes tops. Great spot.

First time visiting Maui (and Hawaii) with family. We stopped by Paia Fish Market the day before my half marathon for a solid, no-frills meal to carb-load — normally I’d go for pasta, but decided to switch it up with seafood instead. There was a short line, but it moved quickly. I ordered the charbroiled mahi mahi (or ono) burger with a garden salad. Others at the table ordered fresh catch plates (mahi mahi and ono, sautéed and charbroiled) with Cajun rice, plus the seafood pasta. We shared everything family-style. The seafood pasta was very rich and heavy — glad I didn’t order it myself. The fish burger was good overall. The fish itself was fairly mild, but it paired well with the sauce, lettuce, and tomato, making for a satisfying meal. Overall, solid seafood and a reliable stop in Paia. Not the closest location to where we were staying, but clearly the most popular — and for good reason. I finished my plate, felt great the next morning, and placed 4th overall in my race, so no complaints. Last visited: January 17, 2026
