from 148 reviewsIf you are a Fish Jerky fan out there, Punahele has mastered it !!!
I live in Arizona, and my daughter did a nursing contract at Hilo Hospital. Hilo is a beautiful place so I walked around a bit and so glad to have discovered this place. Fish is a bit tricky to make jerky with because the meat is not so fibrous. So 5 stars to Punahele for a "Quality Product".
And thanks to the folks at Punahele !! Cheers !!
Perfect Christmas gift for my father-in-law and uncle-in-law that love their pupus with an ice cold beer. Got the sample pack so that they had a variety to choose from. The taegu flavor was the one they talked about the most. They loved the 'kick'. Definitely gonna get this for them again.
My brother and his kids love Punahele Jerky products. So, these are great gifts for them. They snack on the ahi jerky on their way to and from swim lessons and other activities. They look forward to getting their gift boxes.
LOVE this variety pack for gifting. This gives the receiver a chance to enjoy different flavors!
I walked into the Punahele Jerky Store in Hilo and found it to be a very clean and friendly store. I got the dried shrimp and it was “ta die for.” So, yummy with flavor and dried just right. Tasty and easy to eat. My second favorite was the spicy beef crisp. Of course, I have always liked the Ahi Jerky. So good! I would definitely go back again.
I think this is the best quality ahi jerky around.
Very dense and chewy and satisfying!
It's important to me to buy and support local. It doesn't make any sense to be burning fossil fuels shipping stuff all over the world and supporting companies that may not be fishing sustainably.
Buying local and supporting local people is how we make the world a better place one purchase at a time!
Couldn't decide which one I liked best.
Since I’m not in Hawaii I thought I’d bring a little Hawaii to me. I really like that I can get the jerky treats sent to me. They are a delicious snacks.
My wife.tried it and she Saif it's great.not salty and. Very tasty and goes.great with the dried shrimp product too! Will keep buying.
Very tasty. A great snake or pupu. Package of 12 seemed excessive to purchase but it's so delicious and packaging is air tight so it should have a good shelf life. I noticed some of the tako smoked I tougher than others. But still tasty! Just have to chew more.
in no particular order... the size of each shrimp was large compared to other companies'. the shrimp was very tasty - moist. we are happy to support products of the USA. containing no MSG is always a plus - we are allergic to it. happy to support hawaii companies.
Punahele continues to produce great options for snacks and appetizers. The smoked tako may not be for everyone but everyone should try it once! Great taste that is not too strong. Texture may be a bit tough for some but I like it.
I continue to be amazed at the delicious taste of Punahele's products! Their dried shrimp is so ono! It's a perfect blend that makes for a great appetizer or snack. I also love the smoked taco. Same quality and delicious! You won't be disappointed.
I initially saw an on line offer and tried some of their products just to support local. It was so "ono". Smart marketing on their part offered me a discount on my next order. I bought more of their products. And it was even better! The shrimp is awesome. The smoked tako is now my favorite. Amazing products locally made. Thank you very much amd thank you for the kamaaina discounts!
M favorite jerky chip. Period. Hands down! I can eat the bag by myself. Just the right amount of seasoning.
