One of my favorite things to eat in Maui is the Spam Sushi. You could use Boar's Head Spiced Ham instead of Spam; if Spam turns you off. But I bet you would like it, give it a go! Also this is more Californian than Hawaiian. The Hawaiian rolls are bigger and leave out the cucumber sticks, Radish Sprouts, Takuwan strips (Japanese pickled radish), and the Wasabi. Spam sushi is popular for the working stiff who needs something cheap and something on the go. Great way to start the day!
