Feasting on the Big Island

Whether you’re savoring fresh ahi at Merriman’s or Thai seafood curry at Kawaihae Harbor Grill, you’re eating food raised and procured locally. This includes fish, of course, but also forage-raised Big Island beef, veal, lamb, chicken and pork; milk and goat cheese; and a rich array of beautiful, garden-fresh vegetables. Big Island dining also boasts more kinds of exotic fruit, herbs, spices and edible flowers than anyone can keep track of, all topped off by the internationally adored Kona coffee. The entire island is a moveable feast.
