Young's Fish Market

Honolulu


Seafood yes, but Young's also serves up plenty of locally beloved kalua pork, chicken and beef with the popular plate lunches that it's been dishing up since 1951. The meal to try here is the laulau plate, a traditional food staple, where meat is wrapped in kalo (taro) leaf and steamed. The dining area decor is basic; huge takeout menu.
