I am a big fan of street food.

Street food is casual, and rich in local flavor.

Wherever I go, I am always in search of some roadside snacks. Sometimes I am lucky to discover a few good eats, like this Blue Water Shrimp & Seafood stall.

Blue Water Shrimp & Seafood is located on Kuhio Avenue, Honolulu. I have passed by this stall so many times and it was never empty.

Red carpet leads you to Blue Water Shrimp & Seafood (view from Kuhio Ave.)

Finally I decided to give it a try. We parked our car at the parking lot, so we didn’t get to walk on the red carpet. 🙁

This stall is actually a movable bus that has colorful tropical fish painted on it.

Dear God, please shed some light on what’s to order …

The menu is in both English and Japanese. I told you, Japanese tourists are everywhere in Honolulu!

If you’ve lived in Iowa long enough (like, a week), you’ll realize there’s no good seafood here. So, I decided to shovel in as much seafood as I could on this trip.

Here is my order: Furikake Blackened Ahi (seafood plate)

Note: Seafood plate includes sweet corn, rice and green salad. Furikake is a dry Japanese condiment that typically consists of seaweed, ground fish, etc.

I was asked how I wanted my ahi done. Did I hear it wrong? I could even choose how I want my tuna? Hmm… expectation was getting higher!

There’s only one way I want my ahi done – seared. Nothing upsets me more when my ahi tuna came out medium rare, it should have been seared! Raw fish lovers out there, you know what I mean!

Let’s see if Blue Water Shrimp can deliver.

My order came in a to go box … yeah, it’s street food, so don’t expect anything too fancy.

I opened the box and first thing I did was to cut the tuna. To tell you the truth, I only had tiny faith that the fish would come out the way I wanted it.

My perfectly seared ahi tuna

To my surprise, the tuna was so fresh, tender, juicy and perfectly seared. 🙂 Score!

I was smiling all the way when enjoying my fish and rice. Thumbs up!

The corn was sweet and yummy. I didn’t care much about the salad and garlic bread.

Choose to carry out or eat in under the shade. The environment is clean.

I highly recommend this stall!

There’s another van next to this stall, which is Healthy Mexican Food. I didn’t try it, so I don’t know if it’s any good.

Radim ordered tacos from them.

It’s hard to judge the taste from the photos. So, come here and taste for yourself. 🙂
