North Shore Shrimp Trucks is a common term on the island of Oahu in Hawaii for a group of individually owned and operated trucks and establishments that sell mostly local, fresh shrimp along the island's North Shore, mostly near the town of Kahuku.
[3][4][5] The North Shore became an important center for large scale fresh water aquaculture after the state began research and promotion efforts in 1975.
[5] In the wake of its success, other trucks followed to sell the area's shrimp as tourism and residential population increased along the North Shore.
[9][10] Each truck has a unique style and flavor but most serve both the garlic butter and the hot and spicy shrimp along with their individual specialties.
The Travel Channel show, Man v. Food Nation, featured Giovanni's Aloha Shrimp Truck in an episode set in Oahu.
