When early Polynesians arrived in Hawaii between 200 to 500 A.D., they brought along some plants and animals to eat, and also relied on the abundance of fish in the ocean around them.
But after British Captain James Cook arrived in the islands in 1778, bringing contact with the Western world, Hawaii's food culture began to change drastically. Whalers and merchants arrived with salted fish, followed by laborers from around the world brought in to work on plantations. Those workers brought techniques and dishes from China, Japan, Korea, Portugal, the Philippines, and other places, and their cultures' cuisines mixed with ancient Hawaiian food to create what would become the Hawaiian plate.
