A family affair 

Koloa Fish Market has been family owned and operated since its founding in 1994. The Matsuoka family created this market after Hurricane Iniki, nearly 30 years ago.

The whole family became involved, and they are passionate about bringing fresh, delicious food to everyone on the island.
