Dampa Seafood Market (Macapagal)

Pasay City, NCR

A cluster of wet market stalls and cook-to-order restaurants in Pasay's Macapagal area where the transaction is simple: buy fresh seafood at the wet market by weight — live crab, whole tuna, giant prawns, oysters — then carry it to an adjacent restaurant who cooks it to specification for a minimal fee. The result is restaurant-quality seafood at market prices, a Manila institution for families and anyone who wants to eat seriously without pretense. The mud crabs in aligue butter are the correct order.
