There’s nothing like a
Baja-style fish taco made
with local fresh catch seafood
sourced from right
here on the Big Island.
If you have a craving for
a good fish taco, check
out the offerings at these
West Hawaii restaurants:
Located at Kings’
Shops, Island Fish &
Chips serves delicious
tempura fish tacos made
with ono or mahi-mahi.

boasts an array of affordable
breakfast, lunch and
dinner choices highlighted

crispy tempura fish, calamari,
shrimp, oysters or
veggies.
Situated oceanfront on
Alii Drive, Bongo Ben’s
Island Café serves grill
mahi-mahi fish tacos
loaded with cabbage,
cheese, tartar sauce, and
papaya salsa on corn
tortillas. The vast menu
at Bongo Ben’s brims
with choices for breakfast,
lunch and dinner.
A popular destination at
the Kings’ Shops, A-Bay’s

fresh-catch fish
tacos served with pico de

For dinner, Nick and his crew will
be serving roasted pig along with
local fresh catch, either ahi or ono.
Additional menu items will be featured.
The event is free (donations accepted)
and open to the public. “Some of the
local veterans groups will be coming
including members of the American
Legion,” he said. “It’s going to be a
fun evening. Ben and his family are
longtime customers. We decided, let’s
throw a giant party for Ben and make
it super fun.”
To further commemorate the occasion,
Nick composed a fictional pirate
story in honor of Ben:
PRIVATEER’S:
CONTINUED FROM PAGE11A
The Legend of Ben
“Ben was just a young lad when he first looked out over
the seas, longing to see the world beyond his native shores.
Even as a young man he was a capable mate and steady
hand, possessing an amazing ability to find the best in
others and persevere through the stormy seas life would put
in his path. Out of his many friends in his journey of life,
Ben came across Nick, a Privateer of some repute —
Ill or not — who had wandered for many years. The two
became fast friends.
When Ben first met Michael Rangasan, a Corsair
of questionable reputation in the Sandwich Isles, Ben
welcomed him as a friend without trepidation. Verily in
Thailand, Ben came across a cheese-starved buccaneer
yearning for the cheese of his homeland of Wisconsin,
without a second thought, Ben offered his aid to Josh
Ertl.
A measure of a man’s character is how he is willing
to make friends with those around them and put forth a
positive outlook to those he calls friends. In that respect,
Privateer’s Cove is nothing short of honored to host a
party to celebrate Ben’s 16th year, we do so proudly and
loudly, without reservation.
Happy Birthday Ben!!”
