Fresh, Local, Sustainable: The Heart of Nick’s Fishmarket Maui

At Nick’s Fishmarket Maui, every dish tells a story—a story of the island, the ocean, and the dedicated hands that bring the freshest ingredients to your plate. With a steadfast commitment to fresh, local, and sustainable cuisine, our restaurant takes pride in showcasing the very best that Hawai‘i has to offer.

Locally Sourced, Expertly Crafted

Chef Maka Kwon, the culinary mastermind behind Nick’s Fishmarket Maui, understands that exceptional dining starts with exceptional ingredients. That’s why he goes beyond the ordinary, working closely with local farmers and fishermen to ensure that only the finest, freshest elements make their way into our kitchen.

From the deep blue waters surrounding Maui to the fertile lands of its neighboring islands, we source ingredients that highlight the richness of Hawaiian agriculture. Our Pan-Seared Ahi, for instance, is taken to the next level with the earthy flavors of Hamakua mushrooms, while our Rack of Lamb is complemented by the vibrant, naturally sweet notes of Moloka‘i sweet potatoes. Each ingredient is carefully chosen to bring out the true essence of the island’s bounty.

“Ate at Nick’s twice on a recent visit to Maui, would highly recommend. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is casually elegant and the service is on point.” — Kelley S.

Sustainability at Our Core

Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond just choosing local ingredients—it’s a philosophy that guides everything we do. By sourcing from responsible fisheries and working with farmers who prioritize eco-friendly practices, we ensure that our culinary excellence does not come at the expense of Hawai‘i’s natural resources.

Sustainability means protecting the vibrant marine ecosystem that makes Maui such a special place. Whether it’s the fresh-caught fish on your plate or the island-grown produce in your salad, we believe that great food should nourish both our guests and the environment.

“Among the finest seafood restaurants in Maui, with the ingredients coming right from the island, the fresh catch fish options available on the menu are caught just a day prior by local fishermen. Fresh Oysters and Escargot to start for appetizers, then Grilled Spiny Lobster Tail and Diver Scallops. Really couldn’t beat that open-air atmosphere for enjoying dinner on a nice tropical Hawaiian night.” — Chan Y.

An Unforgettable Dining Experience

At Nick’s Fishmarket Maui, dining is more than just a meal—it’s an experience. With an open-air ambiance, impeccable service, and dishes that celebrate the flavors of Hawai‘i, every visit is an opportunity to indulge in the very best of island cuisine.

“Nick’s Fish Market is our favorite spot for fine dining on Maui. Every visit is exceptional, and their lamb chops are a true standout—the most flavorful, tender, and perfectly cooked lamb I’ve ever had, and I’ve dined at top restaurants across the mainland, Australia, Canada, and Asia. The Maui pineapple jam and jalapeño mint vinaigrette elevate the dish to perfection.” — Rina C.

Whether you’re savoring a perfectly prepared seafood dish or enjoying one of our signature craft cocktails, you can be assured that every ingredient has been selected with care and purpose. It’s this dedication to quality, sustainability, and local sourcing that makes Nick’s Fishmarket Maui not just a restaurant, but a destination.

“I came for the Rack of Lamb and it didn’t disappoint. I had it for the first time in July 2024, and it was amazing. I booked Nick’s for this trip (March 2025) before I even booked a flight or hotel. I was craving the Lamb since July. I haven’t found a restaurant that makes it better. Everything about this dish is perfection!” — Domino T.
