Description:
The character of Sawyer, as portrayed by Josh Holloway, is one of Lost's most complex characters. As a child, named James Ford, he witnesses a con artist swindle his family out of their life savings, prompting his father to murder his mother and then commit suicide out of grief. Young James vows revenge upon the con man but instead finds himself sucked into the same lifestyle to the degree that he even takes on the name of the hated con man, Frank Sawyer.
In Lost Season 1, Episode 16 - Outlaws, James is told by his former partner Hibbs that the man who ruined his family and his childhood, the same man from whom he took his alias Frank Sawyer, was in Australia operating a shrimp truck. James travels there and kills him only to find out he has been set up and the man he killed was not Frank Sawyer at all.
These tense scenes at the shrimp truck were filmed on Oahu's North Shore just east of the Turtle Bay Resort. Here you'll see the Famous Kahuku Shrimp Truck sitting on the ocean side of the road. Owner Kyung Ku, in business for 10 years, prepares her Kahuku shrimp dishes tempura-style and even with western barbecue sauce. This is the only place that advertises a choice of whole, head-on cooked shrimp. The Famous Kahuku Shrimp Truck is open daily from 9:30 a.m.-7 p.m. and, yes, Mr. Ku is quite alive.
