If you’ve come all the way to the Big Island of Hawai’i, you’re going to want to try the fish. And no one does fish (poke, fish tacos, you name it) better than Umeke’s Fish Market Bar and Grill. The place gets a fair amount of hype (be prepared to wait for a table), but most agree that Umeke’s warrants all of the above.
Mouth-watering fish tacos
You’ll find this Kona gem in the same complex as other local favorites: HiCo, Willie’s Hot Chicken, and Kona Brewing.

Pro tip: The on-island Costco sells Umeke’s gift cards at a nice discount; you almost can’t afford not to pick one up.
