Marina seafood restaurant (bo. pampanga beside hyundai davao)
went there on a weekday, had some guests from manila. place was now bigger than the last time I ate there (more than 1 year ago). also found out that besides the usual seafood, they now offered japanese food.
ordered the following: Steamed pampano, blue marlin fin silik, sashimi, fish eye sinigang, swordfish belly, salad in buko and drinks. bill was around 2000

comments on food:
sashimi - not really a fan of raw fish but to my taste, it was ok. nothing special
fish eye sinigang - tastes good. not too sour, just right. our companion really liked fish eyes so it was a real treat for him (i ranked it fourth among the dishes we had)
steamed pampano - chose the fresh one. cooked to perfection. really nice taste. the second best dish we had for the night
blue marlin fin silik - it was ok. not the best i've tasted (which was somewhere in gensan) but still it was ok (i rank it third among the dishes we had)
swordfish belly - grilled style. at first sight, you would mistake it for porkchops. but once you get your fork on it, its so soft you instantly know its fish. tasted very very good. the best dish we had for the night. was even tempted to order another one

very very nice place to eat. only drawback is its location. its quite far from downtown already. but its definitely worth it. very good food, very nice ambiance. a bit pricey though compared to other seafood restos (i.e. belly's grill and those seafood restos in times beach) but just about at par with the likes of bigby's, ahfat, etc
