Experience the beauty of the Pacific Ocean at The Fish Hopper Seafood and Steak, overlooking Kailua Bay on the Big Island Hawaii. Enjoy fresh seafood from Hawaii and fresh seafood flown in weekly from California, plus our signature Bucket of Fire and Volcano flaming drinks, all within walking distance to shops and historic sites.

A landmark (formerly the Ocean View Inn) and a local’s favorite Kona restaurant since 1934, the building housing The Fish Hopper has been beautifully restored to expand upon its spectacular ocean views. We proudly serve seafood from sustainable sources, harvested by methods that do not harm the environment.

We love to honor our Veterans & Military! Please let us know if you are one, upon arrival.

    We had the shrimp trio and the chicken teriyaki. All very good. With the shrimp trio, each shrimp group tasted significantly different which we liked. We also had clam chowder that was pretty good. Server was very good.

    Fish Hopper has always been a favorite of ours since moving to the BI. It’s a perfect place to bring family and friends because the menu has choices for everyone! The Mahi Mahi is excellent and one of my favorite menu items. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    Always enjoy our meals here but last night unfortunately we had a bit of a weight for a window table. When we finally got seated, the service was a little slow so from the time we got there to the time we had something to eat it was over an hour.

    Unfortunately, the food and service were not great. We sat for a long time after being seated and had to ask someone where our waiter was. We ordered drinks and the calamari appetizer. The calamari was just frizzled bits of mostly breading. We ordered salads and just started eating them when a waiter brought out our main dish. We told him it was too soon and we wanted to eat our salad first. Guess what, they just put the dish under a heat lamp and brought it out when we were done with our salads. My husband loves their Sand Dabs but was very disappointed as they were dry and cold. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience.

    Food was ok. Nice view and nice service. I think the desert was the best part.
