Boytjie Posted March 14, 2012 #2 Share Posted March 14, 2012 We went to Macky's on tehNorth Shore of Oahu in Haleiwa; there were a few others around there. In Kauai we had lunch and at the Shrimp Station in Waimea - not a shrimp tuck but worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisdog Posted March 14, 2012 #3 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Giovanni's on the North Shore at the sugar mill of Oahu is the best for garlic butter scampi. I heard good things about Blue Water Shrimp and Seafood Co. in the International Market Place in Waikiki. We are going to Hawaii in April and I will give you a report when we get back.

Middleager Posted March 14, 2012 #5 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Giovanni's on the North Shore at the sugar mill of Oahu is the best for garlic butter scampi. The Giovanni's has been around for a longtime and probably best well known. A few years ago when we were there we saw another truck very close by. We went there and found out they sell the same things, at either the same price or just a little cheaper. We had 6 people, and tried shrimps from both. They were both very good. We ended up buying dinner, kind of split between the 2 trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv2bgoofy Posted March 15, 2012 #6 Share Posted March 15, 2012 We ate at Giovanni's on the North Shore and I can still taste that shrimp...can't wait to go back and have more. Definitely the garlic shrimp at Giovanni's. In Kauai we stopped at the Shrimp Station and ordered the garlic shrimp as well - didn't like it as much but from what I understand they are known for their coconut shrimp. At Giovanni's there is also a truck that does smoothies...well get the half of a pineapple....it was the perfect ending to our wonderful meal!

Tyskie Posted March 15, 2012 #7 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Another reviewer mentioned Fumi's which is supposed to be quite good and not as crowded as Giovanni's. I can't comment until we get there.........June, oh June, you are not coming fast enough !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCWalton1 Posted March 15, 2012 #9 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Don't know of any shrimp trucks in Maui, but the Paia Fish Market is a great place for fresh seafood. Rustic place with picnic benches that you share with others (make friends quick :D). And Paia is a great little wind surfing town with lots of shops to wander through. http://www.paiafishmarket.com/pages/menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2sz Posted March 16, 2012 #10 Share Posted March 16, 2012 We were in Maui last year on a land-based vacation. We found its lone Shrimp truck at that time - Geste Shrimp Truck. It was located on Kahului Beach Road near Maui Community College. There were a few food trucks there too. The Hawaiian Scampi and Spicy Pinapple were delicious!! It came with rice and macaroni/crab salad. YUM! They weren't around during Sundays and Mondays though but that may have changed. Only way we found them was through this #808.298.7109 and GPS coordinates that I don't have right now but can get for you if needed. Totally agree on the Paia Fish Market too. Awesome little place with great food. Hubby loved the Obama burger (ono fish with wasabi sauce). Sorry if the picture is a little much - I couldn't resize it. Have fun!

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted March 17, 2012 #12 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Here are a few pictures from the Shrimp Truck in Kahuku (near the sugar mill). I believe the price was around $12.00 a plate. Only 3 options: Garlic Scampi, Butter and Lemon, and something spicy hot. We got the Butter and Lemon to share, but would have preferred the garlic (that you could smell from afar). The drive is longer than you think, if you decide to stop along the way. I tried to attach photos from Giovanni's but getting error messages.

Rare cr8tiv1 Posted March 17, 2012 #13 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Let's try this one more time. Persistence paid off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lv2bgoofy Posted March 17, 2012 #14 Share Posted March 17, 2012 It was $13 for the Garlic Shrimp when we were there a couple of weeks ago and it is definitely worth the price....you get a dozen shrimp...I'm still wishing I had a way to eat it every day.

HoopsandYoYo Posted March 19, 2012 #15 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Been reading about the shrimp trucks and we HAVE to try them. Does anyone know where they are located on Oahu and Maui? After googling along the Kamehameha Highway in Oahu, I came across THE SHRIMP SHACK. We haven't been there, but this is on my list of stops when we go there this April. Check out the menu at http://www.shrimpshackoahu.com and the great reviews! Note that it is located on the east side of the island, just south of the Polynesian Cultural Center.
