The food of Kaua'i

So, I've just arrived back from a trip to Kaua'i in Hawaii. I have experienced the most amazing food at the Princeville Resort and The Grand Hyatt in Princeville and Poipu respectively. These dishes were prepared using the best of ingredients and the freshest fish caught off the island oceans.

I've also had some pretty not so good food at a restaurant entitled "Wranglers" in the town of Waimea. The sauce was heavy, and salty, and fishy. Not so good.

Then, I've also had a Luau feast. Considering the place we went to was feeding about 600 people at our particular meal, it was very well done, the food tasted fresh, and was quite good.

My favorite dish in Hawaii is probably their seaweed salad and their ahi lomi lomi salads. Well, also the fresh island ahi tuna is to die for, only $12/lb as compared to $25+/lb mainland side.

We bought a pound of ahi one night, just caught off the ocean, seared it and served it alongside fresh zucchini. Lomi Lomi was the appetizer along with seaweed salad. For desert we had fresh pineapple and some mango...wow, I'm telling you fresh food is delicious when it is locally grown, harvested, or caught.

All-in-all, I had some great food in Hawaii and I had some not-so-good food. Go local, go fresh, go healthy! It tastes great!
