| - Having been born in Hawaii, I'm always excited to try new places with Hawaiian roots. Coconut's Fish Cafe is a pretty unassuming little restaurant, nestled on the corner of a small strip mall. While the decor is a little kitschy, with the surfboard-shaped tables and lime green walls, all is forgiven when the food comes out.
Their fish tacos are moist and flavorful, and the servings are huge. They're not your typical street tacos with more tortilla than filling. The first time I ordered them, the server brought out one taco, and I thought I'd have a hard time finishing it. Then out came the second and I couldn't believe it was also for me.
I've also tried their coconut shrimp, which were cooked nicely and were not too thickly battered. Their seafood chowder is tasty as well, not too fishy or salty. The hubby (non-seafood eater) likes their steak and chicken tacos, which are just as large as their fish counterpart.
The calamari is a little different than usual, as they are long, thick strips (kinda like thick-cut fries). They are very good, though, and feels like more "bang for your buck" since it results in more calamari, less batter.
