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.

Had the ultimate seafood pasta, was good. Sauce a little runny. Asked for crusty bread and spoon to finish it. The bread was extra $$. Should also give you small plate for shrimp tails and lobster shell. It’s on Konas main drag and was noisy w our speakers and vehicles. Overall I would go again.

We arrived earlier than our reservation time and were invited to be seated at the bar for a drink while the hostess checked on a table for us. The bar service was excellent and we chose to wait for a table by the windows which provide a great view of the bay area. We choose two Mahi-Mahi entrees, one Parmesan crusted accompanied by garlic shrimp, and one macadamia nut crusted. The mashed purple sweet potatoes and the vegetable blend were delicious and added beautiful color to the plates. Service was friendly and quick. Our dinning experience was a wonderful welcome to the island of Hawaii!

The waitress was rude & very impatient. The food was not very comparable to other restaurants in that price range. I’ve eaten at Fish Hopper numerous times in the past & feel it has gone down hill. I will not be eating there again!
