Mama's Fish House on Maui

One of the few places my friend and I visited on the advice of a non-local. Her co-worker who visits Maui once a year told us it's the "best seafood" she's ever had. Coming from New England, good local seafood joints are my thing. (Hint... when visiting Boston, avoid tourist traps like The Clambox and Woodman's)

My assesment, overpriced with okay food. My understanding is that the place used to be great and then realized they could make big money off tourists. Yup, we fell for it. Straight into a tourist trap. The place tries too hard to look like a local dive. The silly wait to check-in and then wait some more for a table to add the "exclusive" feel didn't work for me. After a shared appetizer, entree, and a couple of drinks each, the final tab with tip came to about $200. Not worth it at all.
