Owners Lorna and Robinson are the heart of this favorite spot and have kept this fish and chips boat sailing smoothly for 15 years and counting. Their concept is simple and clear. Customers walk up to the window, order their meal and find a table outside underneath a covered gazebo lakeside. Keep an eye on the lake because the big koi fish swim and dance in and out of the water to entertain you. Customers can also grab a meal on the go. There aren’t any indoor dining areas, but that’s ok. Their motto is, We’ve got the food and the view! The only thing missing is you!”

Island Fish and Chips’ signature tempura fried fish and chips with a side of the sweetest pineapple slaw is the main attraction, but there are other tasty beauties on the menu that will tempt your seafood appetite. The fish is respectfully sourced and prepared nearby making it taste absolutely fantastic! The Volcano Shrimp is a spicy and savory selection for those seeking a little heat in their day. This specialty is sweet and spicy and everything is nice! The Crab Cake Sliders tucked inside their sweet taro bread buns are so fresh, sweet, and irresistible. Everything on the menu is as good as it gets. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served daily. You can even catch a bite at night. Fish for breakfast you ask? Absolutely and it’s the best enjoyed right on the beautiful lake! What a wonderful way to start a sunny and terrific Hawaiian Day!
