Try poke (marinated raw fish) from a local market, garlic shrimp plate lunches from North Shore shrimp trucks, and malasadas (Portuguese fried doughnuts) — a legacy of Kauai's plantation-era immigrant communities. Kauai coffee, grown on the island's largest coffee estate near Kalaheo, and fresh lilikoi (passionfruit) desserts are local specialties worth seeking out. Food trucks and plate-lunch counters in Hanalei, Kapaa, and Hanapepe generally offer better value and more local flavor than resort restaurants.
