"Suisan has been a part of Hawai‘i’s historic fishing community for more than 114 years. The operation’s roots date back to 1907 when Torazuki Hayashi and Hitaro Egawa formed the cooperative Sui San Kabushiki Kaisha. Like the generations of residents in Hawai‘i, the market is a survivor; it was destroyed twice by tsunamis, in 1946 and 1960, weathered the Great Depression, and was seized by the military in World War II, yet Suisan remains a huge retailer for fish across Hawai‘i Island. Stop by the well-worn bayside building for a slice of history and about a dozen options of incredibly fresh poke, including staples like Sesame Shoyu and Spicy ‘Ahi, as well as cooked items like butter garlic prawns and lomi salmon. Check out the market’s Instagram page for fresh picks of the day." - Maya-Lin Green
