Hilo Restaurants: The Seaside, Seafood
Address: 1790 Kalanianaole Ave., Hilo, HI Phone: 808/935-8825 Price range: $-$$$ Cuisine: Seafood Location: Hilo The Nakagawa family has been running this eatery since the early 1920s. The latest son to manage the place has spruced it up a bit with tablecloths and candles, but the decor is still bare-bones. No matter, since it serves some of the freshest fish on the island. (Not a surprise, as the fish come from the restaurant's own aqua farm.) Islanders travel great distances for the fried aholehole (young Hawaiian flagtail). Not a fish eater? Try the grilled lamb chops, chicken, or prime rib. Arrive before sunset and request a table on the patio for a view of the egrets roosting around the fish ponds. * Credit Cards: AE, DC, MC, V * Closed: Closed Mon. No lunch |
