Maui Hawaii and the FISH TACO

Another Global search for the Ultimate Fish taco has taken me this time to Maui, Hawaii.

As suspected, there are great fish tacos on this island. You can try them at many locations including Maui Tacos, Jawz, Freds or many other interesting places. I found nothing that compared to this Gem- MAKENA GRILL

This is not really a restaurant at all, which is what makes it so special. It is literally a beach side stand with a small alcove for tables and chairs along a narrow road south of Wailea almost to Secret Cove. If you go, you will likely meet the owner Marisa, who is famed as one of the best chefs on the island. She serves fresh catch of the day. The day we went we happenned to get sword fish. It is just what you would expect on an island paradise- totally chill roadside bbq stand, swimsuits, plastic furniture, grill smoke filterring up through the palm leaves.

THIS IS A GOOD FISH TACO
Its all in the fish. The fish is smoky, the salsa is mango based, very fruity and tangy. All fresh made, all legit. Garnished with cheeze and cabbage. WOW! Huge chunks of fish! DO NOT GO TO MAUI AND MISS THIS. Forget the road to Hana, the road to secret cove will rock your world!
