Maui has fantastic local fish markets, where you can find fresh catch-of-the-day options like ahi tuna, ono, mahi-mahi, and more. You can also find poke and other prepared seafood dishes. Here are some of the best spots in Kihei to buy fresh fish:

The Fish Market Maui: Located on South Kihei Road, this is a popular spot for fresh fish, seafood, and prepared dishes like poke. They offer a wide variety of local fish and often have a daily catch special. It's a great choice for grabbing fresh fish to cook at your condo.
Kihei Seafood Market: This is another excellent option, known for its fresh fish and good variety of local seafood. It's located a bit farther south on Kihei Road and is great for both prepared items and raw fish for cooking.

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:

South Maui Farmers Market: Located on the corner of South Kihei Road and Pi'ilani Highway, this market is one of the best in the area. It has fresh produce, flowers, and local fish, and it's open on Sundays and Wednesdays. It's a great place to pick up fresh, local ingredients.
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.
