It's the end of the week, after more focused thinking, I'll get back to talking about food people eat here in Hawaii, and if you want to talk melting pot of ideas, these islands is the place for food. Especially when it comes to seafood island style.
When you visit here, there's a lot of restaurants to get fish, but some places do advertise fresh catch when in reality it's frozen fish from somewhere like New Zealand, Thailand, the Philippines or where ever. But if the chefs are any good, they can take a frozen Mahi and make it into an excellent 30.00 plate in a fancy eatery.
Speaking of Mahi Mahi, that's a dish a lot of people like. How do we like it? Anyway that's the way.
Here's what to expect when you come here, Mahi Mahi can be seasoned with simple herbs and spices, and either grilled or sauteed in some wine with lemon, butter, and capers. But the true plate lunch experience will have a local dig do it this way.
Mahi Mahi Plate Lunches: Prices run from around 7.95 to around 14.95 depending on the location. It is breaded and deep fried, with condiments ranging from homemade tartar sauce, soy sauce and mayonnaise, vinegar and chili pepper water, served with white rice (2 scoops) and a macaroni salad. Mac salads are cooked macaroni noodles, tossed in mayonnaise, with minced celery, onions, carrots in general. But some digs will add in canned tuna, potatoes, or crab meat.
Mahi Plates if done right will please the fish lover, because of our diverse ethnic makeup, Mahi plates can have different twists. For instance, visit a Korean influenced dig, expect their Mahi plates to have a Korean sauce on it, with sesames and sweet chili sauce. Visit a Filipino influenced dig, expect garlic and fish sauce as the condiment, but the starches are all common, with white rice, and mac salad on your plate.
So when you are at a local plate lunch dig, make sure the Mahi is moist on the inside, if its dried, send it back immediately. Don't get ripped off.
