Most hotels have their dining options online. You can also arrange to have lobsters flown to your hotel, and I'm sure the kitcken would prepare them to your order. I'd recommend this. Perhpas a place like Key Fisheries for shrimp; they also ship. You would get a much better quality of shellfish doing this, though it is extra work. Depends on how important quality of ingredients are to you.
Hey, forget about the hotels, can we have these lobsters and shrimps flown to our houses? Or pick them up at the airport? What places are these that ship tasty stuff like this? We don't have any overnight delivery to the islands other than perhaps Oahu, though. Wonder if that would be a problem. These folks can box up a Maine lobster and mail it? Who are they?
Hmm, my post mistress is already used to giving us boxes that chirp when we get the chicks shipped in from the mainland. I wonder what she would think of boxes that went "scritch, scritch" of little lobster feet arrived at her window?
Well, I just checked about a dozen sites and they all had the "no shipping to Hawaii or Alaska" note on them. Most of them said because of lack of overnight shipping, although one site also added this: Shipments to Hawaii of Live Lobster or Live Shellfish now require import permits. You can obtain more information from The Hawaii Department of Agriculture. We will need a copy of your import permit before we can ship any live product into Hawaii. Guess we will have to stick to grocery store $20 a pound lobster or go catch slipper lobsters ourselves.
The predominate delivery service mentioned was FedEx which is ungawdly expensive in Hawaii so shipping in expensive food with the most expensive shipping option just pretty well puts this over the top. Sigh! Guess I'll just have to go fishing.
But insist that you obtain the proper permits from the Hawaii DOA first. Please check us out: [url=http://www.overnightlobster.com]Live Maine Lobster | Buy Lobster | Overnight Lobster Delivery[/url] The shipping isn't as expensive as you might think; its pretty reasonable.
Frankly, this isn't the place I think of when I think of shellfish. Most shellfish srved here, as other posters have mentioned, is flown in from other parts of the world.
Why not instead avail yourself of what ARE the local specialties here... fresh ahi, ono, butterfish, and other local-caught fish. Grass fed island beef. Luau pork. These are the things that you can't find very easily anywhere else. And most hotels that offer room service are going to have at least some of these on their menu.
