Fresh Catch

We stopped by the Kaneohe location after Fresh Catch was recommended to us by a local. It did not disappoint. Fresh Catch had plenty of fresh seafood, poke, sashimi and plate Lunches to chose from. It also had one of the biggest selections of poke I have seen and it’s all made fresh daily. It’s no surprise Fresh Catch has been highlighted on Food Networks Diners Drive-Ins and Guy’s Big Bites.

Mike’s Huli Chicken

The tastiest rotisserie style chicken that’s I’ve ever had. It’s slow roasted over kiawe wood and served with rice and a salad. They also serve Kalua pig and garlic shrimp plates, among other things.
