 Delectable island treats |
585 Hinano Street Hawaii, HI 96720 United States +1 808 935 8890 http://www.bigislandcandies.com/ |
If it is candy that you're after, there is more than enough to satisfy at this store. The hand-dipped chocolate macadamia nuts are a Hawaiian classic. Peanut butter bars and almond wafers are among the other tempting treats. But, while candy is the main attraction, it is not the only one. Buttery shortbread, rich Kona coffee, Mochi balls and a variety of other local specialty items are also available. Adventurous eaters will want to sample some of the local munchies: try the Li Hing Mui cookies (made with sour plum powder) or the Ika (dried squid). Review © 2007, Wcities |

Lustrous, mysterious and exotic, black pearls are among the most coveted and rare of gems. This Hilo jeweler offers unique black pearl creations; most designs are either limited editions or custom designs, set in 18-karat gold or platinum. The pieces are expensive and delicate, perfect for birthday gifts, anniversaries or other special occasions.

 Hilo Farmers Market |
Corner of Mamo Street and Kamehameha Avenue PO Box 34 Hilo, HI 96721 United States +1 808 933 1000 http://www.hilofarmersmarket.com/ |
This market started in 1988 with just four farmers selling their produce, but now has a whopping 124 vendors selling farm and dairy products like eggs, milk, vegetables, fish and meat. Artifacts and accessories in jute are sold too. No wonder it was named the Best Open Market in 1999 and 2000 by the Hawaii Tribune-Herald. Time to shop! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Ultimate Hawaiian store |
111 East Puainako Street Building G Hawaii, HI 96720 United States +1 808 961 3077 http://www.hilohattie.com |
First things first: the Hilo location of this store is not the original. The first Hilo Hattie's is in Honolulu. All disappointment aside, this is still a pretty darn good place to shop for Hawaiiana. Everything from goofy souvenirs to elegant gold jewelry can be purchased here. Dozens of varieties of muu muus and aloha shirts are available. It is also a good place to get macadamia nuts and Kona coffee. The store is constantly offering a few promotions or specials.

A Hawai'i tradition |
85 Lihiwai Street Hawaii, HI 96720 United States +1 808 935 9349 http://www.suisan.com/market/f... |
A mainstay on the tourist and restaurateur circuit is this century-old fish market, which is best known for its morning fish auction. Local fishermen display their catches to dozens of wholesalers and restaurant owners. All kinds of fresh fish are auctioned off while curious tourists look on. The auction is held every morning except Sunday. The market is a great place to buy fish without having to bid. The selection and quality are both good and the prices tend to be low. In addition, a number of specialty seafood items are available. Review © 2007, Wcities |
