Crabhouse Seaside Dampa

One of the biggest, maybe the biggest sea food market. "Fresh" means here in most cases (but not always): alive. You can even buy lobster alive in a plastic bottle, god knows how they did it... You can buy your fresh food in the market and prepare/ cook it at one of the 20 or 30 restaurants at the market. If you feel insecure, you can also ask one member of a trustful restaurant to accompany you to a good seller. The restaurants offer complete meals or to prepare your market food for your wishes .

Its a must for me to visit Dampa seaside market whenever i visit Manila You can buy the fresh fish, shrimps, seashells, seaweed from the market then take them to any of the restaurants around that you would like to eat in I have tried Singaporean, chinese, filipino, korean restaurants and i can say each restaurant has a different way of cooking I always prefer one name: Royal By the end while leaving you can buy some fruits as well

Great place to bring your tourist friends to look around the various live sea food . Better know how to haggle .

Very unique place for someone who's visiting the Philippines, or even a local. It is definitely worth visiting for the experience. Basically the first step is walk through the market, choose a vender, select and purchase your fresh seafood. Second you select one of many restaurants in the market to cook up your purchase. My suggestion would be to walk through the entire market to see what looks appetizing and ask what the prices are. Also as you walk through, people from the local restaurants will show a menu of how they prepare dishes and the price by weight on cooking your seafood selections. Google reviews for the restaurants located in the market can be helpful. Choose the restaurant, or take it home to prepare yourself. Finally enjoy! There are so many varieties of fish, shrimp, lobster, scallops, crab etc, to name them all. Just mention to the eager vendors and restaurateurs that you're just looking, don't feel pressured to make a purchase and enjoy the experience. At the end you will have indulged in some of the most delectable seafood ever.

If your looking for an experience of buying seafood and telling a restaurant to cook it for you, this is the place. Be sure to have a restaurant that you want to visit because there’s so many resto in the place and you will be confused because they come rushing to you when you enter.
