Nico's Pier 38

Nico's Pier 38 is a seafood restaurant on Pier 38 beside the Honolulu fish auction, serving auction-fresh fish in island-style breakfast plates, lunch specials, poke and dinner. The fish market counter sells fresh fillets, platters and smoked seafood to take home. Happy hour runs every afternoon with island favorites and cold drinks.

Reservations are not accepted, and tables go to walk-ins first come, first served, so arriving a little early helps at busy times. Many menu items are available to go, and catering is offered for larger groups. Live music is part of the regular schedule, and the restaurant sits pierside just off Nimitz Highway on Honolulu Harbor, with sunset views.
