Like everyone else, individual Jews can and do eat anything they want that's

available and affordable. Those who choose to adhere to Jewish law limit their

food choices to kosher items.

There are several kosher species of fish. They include trout, haddock, pike, salmon,

whitefish, carp, halibut, herring, tuna, snapper, sardine, and cod, among others. If

a species doesn't "look like a fish", then one can be pretty sure that it's not a kosher

species. Non-kosher species of 'seafood' include clam, oyster, lobster, mussel, scallop,

eel, crawfish, squid, octopus, prawn, and shrimp, among others.

Which food does Jewish can eat in Hawaii sea food restaurants?

It doesn't matter what kind of restaurant it is. That's not relevant to what Jews eat. Consider this:Orthodox Jews will not eat in unkosher restaurants at all, unless they find themselves in a place where that is the only choice. In that case, they would typically only eat vegetarian cold food on clean cold plates, such as plain salads without dressing, raw vegetables, fruits and nuts. Some may eat kosher fish, if it is unseasoned. Kosher fish are fish with fins and scales.Non-Orthodox Jews who keep kosher will often eat dairy, vegetarian, and kosher fish even with seasoning. (Kosher fish have fins and scales).Non-Orthodox Jews who don't keep kosher will eat whatever they want.

Jews eat fish any day of the week. Since fish is considered a delicacy, it features prominently on the Sabbath menu; most Jews will tell you that the Sabbath meal is not complete unless fish is served. This is in addition to the tradition of serving at least two types of meat for Shabbat (Friday night) dinner. Fish is usually served on Friday night, Saturday morning and again on Saturday afternoon. Note that Jews will not eat fish and meat together; they will always be served on separate plates with a different set of cutlery. Between the fish and meat course most Jews will be carefully to eat some bread and drink something.
