Umekes Fishmarket Bar and Grill in Kona

Big Island Guide Travel Guide

Overview of Umekes Fishmarket Bar and Grill

“Umeke” is the Hawaiian word for bowl and the inspiration for how most of the food is served at Umekes Fishmarket Bar and Grill. High-quality ingredients are provided by local fishermen and suppliers. From the daily special to the award-winning poke, expect nothing less than a fresh and flavorful meal.

The cajun grilled fish tacos are my personal favorite and the fresh poke of the day is always a good bet, with delicious new recipes appearing on a regular basis. Enjoy a tasty cocktail or try something from the extensive beer and wine list.

Umekes takes reservations by phone and you can find seating inside, on the patio or at the bar. They have live music in the evenings on Thursday through Sunday. You can also purchase freshly-caught fish from their fish market.
