In a Land Called Hanalei...

In Hanalei, Kauai, there is a restaurant called Tahiti Nui. From the outside, it looks like a place to grab a burger or pizza, but if that is the case, you will miss out on the most amazing fish plates!

For an appetizer, we dined on a panko crusted seared ono served with a type of teriyaki sauce. Delicious!
And the main course was the best ono I have ever had. Panko macademia nut crusted ono served with coconut cilantro lime sauce and a side of mashed potatoes. The sauce was very rich but it went with the ono perfectly.
This fantastic ono dish, which to me was the definition of gourmet, was under $15. An absolute steal! My only complaint is that I don't live nearby so I can't go there more often.
