Seaside Restaurant

RestaurantHilo, ~10 min from downtownCasualLocal Fav

A truly unique Hilo restaurant operating its own freshwater fishponds, Seaside serves mullet, aholehole, and other freshwater fish raised on-site in historic loko i'a (Hawaiian fishponds). The rare experience of eating fish pulled from the pond just hours earlier, combined with the serene pond setting and traditional preparation methods, creates an unforgettable connection to ancient Hawaiian aquaculture.

Tip: The mullet is the house specialty — order it fried or steamed. Reserve in advance as the restaurant only offers what the ponds provide. The setting amid the fishponds at sunset is remarkably peaceful.
