It is Week 10 of the 2021 Oklahoma high school football season, and playoffs are just around the corner.
For the final installment of this season’s SKORDLE Sampler, I wanted to share my incredible experience at the world-renowned Mama’s Fish House while on my Hawaiian vacation in Maui.
When we booked our trip and started making plans for our week in paradise, every single person that had ever been to Maui said the same thing: “You MUST go to Mama’s Fish House!”
The world-famous seafood restaurant, family-owned since 1973 in the small town of Paia, at the beginning of the Road to Hana, was literally everything I had heard about and more!
Right on the beach, open air, and serving 5-star seafood dishes.
For an appetizer, we had the crab cakes and these were simply phenomenal!
They were so good, in fact, we almost considered ordering more, but cooler heads prevailed in anticipation of the pending main course. The crab cakes were the best I have ever had in my life, without question.
As for the main course, this choice was made weeks in advance.
Nearly every person that I spoke with had the same recommendation for Mama’s Fish House, which was to get the stuffed fish with lobster and crab, baked in a macadamia nut crust.
