Paia Fish Market Northshore, Seafood restaurant in Maui County, US.
Paia Fish Market Northshore is a seafood restaurant on Maui that serves locally caught fish such as Mahi Mahi, Ono, Snapper, Ahi, Salmon, and Opah. Each fish can be ordered in several formats, including a plate, taco, burger, or sandwich.
The restaurant opened in 1989, when Paia was a small coastal town drawing surfers and windsurfers to the North Shore. It grew into a regular stop for the water sports crowd that settled around the area.
Visitors and locals gather at shared tables to eat together and talk about their day, reflecting how the Paia community enjoys casual meals as a social experience. The restaurant serves as a gathering place where the informal dining style brings different people together.
The restaurant does not take reservations and works on a counter-order system, so you place your order at the front and wait for your food. Lines can get long at lunch and dinner, so arriving a little early helps.
Every fish dish comes with a choice of side, such as Cajun rice, home potatoes, or french fries, plus hand-cut coleslaw. This means two people can order the same fish and end up with completely different plates.
