About Maui Prime Fine Foods Long before proprietors Karin and Cary Button opened Maui Prime Fine Foods, this duo has played a part in the growth of Maui's culinary scene. In 1980, Cary Button, a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America in New York, moved to Maui and began working as a chef in several of the island's well-known restaurants. Recognizing a need for chefs to supplement the island's fresh fish bounty with difficult-to-find cold water seafood, he established a seafood importing business called Oyster Seafood. Maui restaurants and hotels were able to take advantage of the consistent quality of the pristine oysters and clams that Cary flew in fresh from his home state of Washington, and his business and reputation flourished. Mauians also know Karin and Cary Button as the prior owners of Fish & Game Brewing Company & Rotisserie in Kahana - West Maui's first microbrewery. Maui Prime Fine Foods was established as, once again, the Buttons noticed there was a niche to be filled on Maui. With many gourmet foods and specialty food products difficult to procure on Maui, the Buttons decided to bring these products to food lovers at the retail level. They opened their gourmet market at Emerald Plaza in 2006. An expansive deli case features the seafood specialties that Oyster Seafood is known for. Meat selections in an adjacent case include a large array of Snake River Farms' American-style Kobe beef, along with Maui Cattle Company's locally-grown beef. A third deli case is well-stocked with a variety of imported and domestic cheeses, as well as an array of tempting side dishes. The shop is also lined with pantry shelves offering up dozens of types of condiments, dry rubs, spices, marinades, olive oils, vinegars, crackers, pastas, cookies and chocolates. An eclectic selection of fine wines fills the wine case. With Chef Will Hawkins also available as part of the culinary team at Maui Prime Fine Foods, residents and visitors have plenty of help when it comes to assistance with recipes, cooking instructions, the selection of ingredients for a perfect gourmet picnic or special event - or simply a wonderful meal to be enjoyed with family or friends. Maui Prime Fine Foods is also an ideal choice for those planning dinner parties or other celebrations, who wish to order party platters for pick-up. Maui Prime Fine Foods is located in Emerald Plaza in Lahaina, and is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
