Honu Seafood & Pizza Offers Distinct Hawaii Cuisine
We recently tried lunch at Honu right on Front Street in Lahaina. In Hawaiian Honu means turtle, and in front of the restaurant there are turtles swimming and popping up for air between dives.
The restaurant highlights incredible shellfish; fresh Dungeness crab cocktails, oysters on the half shell, shrimp Louis and lobster rolls. My favorite is the steamed mussels, Ahi Salad and fresh Island fish (Ono – a mild, delicate fish whose name means delicious) served Dore style with quinoa. They have the best fish and chips on Maui.
The crab mac & cheese is heavy for an entrée but makes a good item to share. For dessert we tried a lilikoi crème brûlée with a refreshing cup of 100% Kaanapali iced coffee.
