Mom Violy Shopping at Jaymark located Dampa Seaside in Macapagal


Any restaurant in Dampa Seaside in Macapagal you will be asked the server at the restaurant will shop for your seafood. Or you can do it on your own if you prefer by picking which shrimp and squid you want to be cooked for you.

Mom Violy requested to be accompanied from Dimple the restaurant at the Crab House Seaside Macapagal.

Dimple had referred us to Jaymark Fresh Seafood.

The first thing we needed to purchase is shrimp to feed four people. The cost is 600.00 pesos ($10.91) per kilo. 

Second visit is when Uncle Danny said he wanted to eat calamaries. Mom Violy forgot she had to pay Jaymark Fresh Seafood for the shrimp she had recently purchased. Mom Violy also purchased some fresh squid for 450.00 pesos ($8.18) per kilo.

Crabhouse Seaside had cooked it butter garlic requested by Mom Violy.
