What is in a seafood tower?

A seafood tower is a seafood lover's dream, a multi-tiered platter overflowing with the freshest catches from the ocean. PESCA Waikiki’s seafood tower include:

  • Sashimi: Delicate slices of raw, fresh fish, such as tuna, salmon, or yellowtail, served with soy sauce and wasabi.

  • Fresh Oysters: Briny and succulent oysters, often served on the half shell with lemon wedges and mignonette sauce.

  • Lobster: Tender and sweet lobster, either steamed or grilled, often served with drawn butter.

  • Jumbo Shrimp and Crabmeat: Plump and juicy shrimp, and sweet, delicate crabmeat, perfect for dipping in cocktail sauce.

Possible add-ons to elevate your seafood tower experience:

  • Abalone: A prized delicacy with a firm, chewy texture and a subtle, briny flavor.

  • Langoustine: Also known as Norway lobster, langoustine boasts a sweet and delicate flavor, similar to lobster but with a slightly firmer texture.

  • Sea Urchin (Uni): A unique and creamy delicacy with a rich, briny flavor and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.

  • Scallops: Sweet and tender scallops, often seared to perfection and served with a flavorful sauce.

Remember, the specific contents of a seafood tower can vary depending on the seasonality of ingredients. However, it always promises a luxurious and indulgent seafood feast!

Experience a burst of flavors with our Ahi Poke Bowl. Fresh ahi tuna, marinated in a zesty ginger chili soy sauce, is complemented by a creamy, spicy ginger soy aioli. This vibrant dish is finished with tobiko, avocado, chives, and pickled ginger, all served over a bed of sushi rice for a truly satisfying meal. 


““Amazing views! May be worth the price of admission for just that. Food was ok… Ahi poke bowl and Ahi Salad. Both were good portion sizes, but not as dynamic of flavors as I had hoped.” - OpenTable Diner


Savor the taste of the ocean with our Grilled Octopus, expertly prepared to achieve a perfect char and tender texture. Complemented by a refreshing housemade vinaigrette-tossed salad, roasted potato, and red onion, this dish is a delightful symphony of flavors and textures. Experience the essence of Mediterranean cuisine with this exquisite creation. 


““Devine Date with an incredible view! Thank you for the impeccable service, delectable food and delicious cocktails 🍹 The grilled octopus was exceptional, so much so that my date ordered a second for his entree. My pasta was cooked perfectly and the red velvet was the perfect way to finish off while watching the sun set!” - Cindy V., OpenTable Review


Our Quinoa Salad is a vibrant and nutritious medley of flavors and textures. Featuring housemade fresh ricotta cheese, broccoli, carrot, cucumber, avocado, celery, and colorful bell peppers, this salad offers a delightful combination of creamy, crunchy, and refreshing elements. It's a healthy and satisfying choice for a light lunch or a side dish. 


“...Craving something healthy, Pesca did not disappoint, I pretty much ordered every vegetarian option they had and it was all fresh and well executed…Quinoa Salad-Lemony dressing paired with the creamy ricotta and avocado contrasted with the tiny crunchy veggies, sublime…” - Ringo H., Yelp Review


Indulge in the freshest flavors of the ocean with our Fish by the Pound, cooked to perfection in the classic Acqua Pazza style. We source our fish daily from the pristine waters of Hawaii, Europe, the Mainland, Japan, and New Zealand, ensuring an unparalleled dining experience that showcases the bounty of the sea. Immerse yourself in a symphony of taste and freshness with every bite. 


Pesca is off to a great start. The ambiance and views are amazing. We started off with cocktails and both were very good. ...They served the fish two ways, one as a sashimi appetizer and the other acqua pazza, poached in a white wine sauce with tomatoes, capers, kalamata olives. Both ways were very fresh and amazing! The acqua pazza was cooked so perfectly it just melted in your mouth…” - Michael P., Yelp Review
