Navigating through the grocery aisle can be quite overwhelming, especially if you're looking for dishes to cook. Whether you're trying to go meatless or simply looking for fun and unique alternatives to your meat dishes, seafood is one of the most versatile ingredients to help you get started in the kitchen. 

From freshwater options to selections from the sea, Joel’s Place offers a variety of seafood choices.

Here's a guide to some of the finest seafood available at The Fishmonger and The Deli.

Fish Choices

At The Fishmonger, we offer local and imported assortments of freshwater and seawater fish like the flavorful and hearty Lapu-Lapu or the savory Kurose Hamachi Jaw. If you want something light and delicious, our Yellowfin Tuna is another great option. For classics, we also offer a Whole Salmon, or for your convenience, opt for Fillet Salmon to easily prepare your favorite fish dishes at home.

Shellfish Selection

Try exploring more seafood dishes with our rich and flavorful crustaceans. Our Ulang (giant freshwater prawns) and Jumbo Black Prawns are among the freshest selections available. Consider mollusks as your main ingredient and try our Clams and Mussels that offer a delicate, briny flavor perfect for a variety of dishes. For a fresh and balanced taste, our Tayabas Bay Oysters are also a great choice.

In particular, give our Mediterranean Sole en Papillote—fish baked inside a parchment pouch—a try. Inside the paper parcel reveals a tender sole filet cooked atop tomatoes, capsicum, lemon, and white wine.
