Seafood Island

2nd Floor Unit 207, The District Cavite
Corner Daang Hari and Aguinaldo Highway
+639276355342

Seafood Island is known for boodle. What is a boodle fight? Boodle fight is a military style of eating where long tables are prepared and food are on top of the banana leaves. Viands and rice ready to eat using your bare hands.


We are so unlucky in the search for Chef Boy Logro's restaurant in Imus so we just decided to visit the new Ayala Mall in Cavite called 'The District'. Most of the shops and restaurants are not yet open. Even the Seafood Island is still on a dry run they don't have creditcard swipers yet (I don't what it's called) good thing we had available cash and there are plenty of ATMs around.



We were accommodated right away. just looking on the menu outside, the manager and a crew approached and helped us to decide what to eat.

Interior design of the restaurant is cool.  It looks like more of a bar, walls and floor is clean. Table is big. Ambiance is comfortable and appetizing.




The uniform of the crews took my attention, it looks like they are in a beach. Its not the typical restaurant uniform. I'm impressed. Creative uniform, cheerful and attentive crew equals good customer dining experience.

So we ordered Dagupan's Pride and 1 kilo Crab in the Bucket.



Here comes the Dagupan's Pride. Two Crews need to serve the boodle because it is big. I'm surprised because it says in the menu that this is only good for 3-4 persons. But it seems like it is for 4-5. For 785 pesos the serving is a lot.



Dagupan's Pride is made up of Deep fried boneless bangus, pork BBQ, steamed white shrimps, grilled tahong, grilled talong, okra, talbos ng kamote, green mango, crispy liempo and bagoong rice. Its really plenty and I rest assure that you'll be full after eating this. The impression that I had before about boodle fight is gone when I saw how beautifully they present Dagupan's Pride.





Im impressed with the taste of food. The bagoong rice is not salty, it is deliciously made perfect if you'll eat with the green mangoes. Crispy liempo has flavors in it, delicious when you bite. The boneless bangus, it lacks marinade but you can just use the condiments. The pork barbecue is marinated well. To neutralize the taste there is grilled okra and grilled eggplant. There is also a salad made up of  talbos ng kamote. the Tahong and grilled shrimps are good.

We ordered Crab by the bucket. We asked the crew if that is their best seller way of cooking the crabs. The crew replied 'Crab Maritess'. So we'll go for it. It is said to be made of up of olive oil, lots of garlic, chilies, and white wine.


The crabs used are of quality. Fat and meaty crabs. I enjoyed it. Its delicious and they rocked crab marites. it definitely worth going back for, they made justice to its 995 peso price.


They offer unlimited red iced tea. I say that the iced tea is bland or maybe there is a reason. Because if the iced tea were sweet, people will get full easily and they wont enjoy the flavors, quality and amount of food served.

I pity those people who has allergies on seafood, they missed how delicious sea creatures are. Seafood Island is a must try if you're a seafood lover. Price is acceptable. Dining experience is great. I enjoyed boodle fight. Customer service is awesome  Food quality is great. Restaurant ambiance is cool.
