Kona Seafood Market opens as bright spot amid ‘perfect storm’ of COVID-19 pandemic
Instead of lamenting their jobs selling timeshares lost when the pandemic shut down tourism, Edward Blum and Jared Dufault decided to open their own business.
Kona Seafood Market opened Sept. 14 on Kopiko Street in the same parking lot as The Club and boasts the freshest local fish and seafood.
Blum said before the pandemic hit he was living in South Kona, and on his commute to town, would see three to four vendors on the side of the road selling fish, often with a line of people waiting to purchase the catch.
