Suisan Fish Market (Hilo)
Hilo, Hilo
Hilo's Bayfront Poke Counter, Open Daytime Only
Suisan Fish Market sits on Lihiwai Street by Hilo's bayfront, reportedly half a block from the eastern entrance to Banyan Drive (sources disagree on the street number, so look for it by the bay). It sells fish by the pound — including ahi, hamachi, and salmon, with samples before you buy — and a counter of poke; reviewers recommend the tako poke and spicy marlin poke. HAWAIʻI Magazine's 2025 readers ranked it third for poke on the island.
Listings consistently report a 3 PM closing time and a Wednesday closure, but they conflict on the rest, and none is dated 2026 — confirm before going. Arrive early for the best selection; the cases can be half empty after the lunch rush. Liliʻuokalani Gardens is about a two-minute walk away for a picnic.
