Question: My wife and I are vacationing in Waikiki for a week this winter. Where should we eat? We'd especially like some tips on local spots serving fresh fish. Also, we're on a budget.—Donald, Portland, Ore.
Answer: If you love fish, then you're traveling to the right place as Waikiki is full of places dishing up seafood. Here are three must-try places:
At Nico's at Pier 38, the grilled ono may come in a Styrofoam container but it's the sweetest and moistest fish you'll ever eat for less than $10. Go on the weekend when there's live music, or for breakfast (fish and eggs, mmm...).
The Diamond Head Market and Grill specializes in charbroiled entrées; the salmon is served with a tasty miso-ginger sauce and the ahi steak comes on a roll slathered in wasabi aioli. Seating is limited to outdoor picnic tables.
Rumor is that after the fancy restaurants in Waikiki close, the chefs head for downtown Honolulu to the Side Street Inn for barbecued ribs slathered in lilkoi sauce and pesto-crusted ahi.
