Fumi's Kahuku Shrimp

What began as a shrimp farm a dozen years ago expanded to a shrimp truck where the daily harvest is served fresh to the hungry public. Recently Fumi's opened another store just a few hundred yards from the truck. The new site accommodates more customers with open-air seating, has live shrimp swimming in a tank, and a great view of the shrimp ponds. The fresh-from-the-farm shrimp can be prepared deep fried or pan fried with their famous garlic sauce. Located in Kahuku, for more information call (808) 232-8881.

Macky's Shrimp Truck

Everyone has eaten garlic shrimp before, but after tasting the butter garlic shrimp from Macky's Shrimp Truck on the North Shore, you'll know why they've won so many awards. Macky's special garlic sauce is made fresh daily and the shrimp is cooked when ordered, not pre-cooked, so the hot, plump morsels are perfectly prepared and seasoned. Other flavors include lemon pepper, spicy hot and original shrimp, which are all very tasty, too. Macky's is at 66-632 Kamehameha Hwy., at the entrance to Hale‘iwa. (808) 780-1071, 780-1834.
