As for farmer's markets, Maui is home to some excellent options where you can not only find fresh produce but also locally caught fish, handmade goods, and much more. Here are some of the best markets near Kihei:

  • Kihei Town Farmers Market: A smaller, more intimate market located in the heart of Kihei. It features fresh fruits, vegetables, and local fish, along with other handmade goods. It's a great place to stop by for a quick visit.
  • Upcountry Farmers Market: Located in Kula, this market is a bit farther from Kihei (about a 30-minute drive), but it's worth the trip if you're looking for high-quality local produce, meats, and seafood. It operates on Saturdays and features some of the best farm-to-table goods on the island.

In addition to these markets, some local restaurants and shops also sell fresh seafood. However, the above fish markets and farmer’s markets are the best places to find fresh, locally sourced fish and produce for your meals in Maui.
