Joy of joys, my son and I were in Candelaria, Quezon and our friends decided one early morning instead of being bored in the healing farm, we ventured out in the early morning to the Fish Port of Lucena City! This fish port supplies wet markets in Manila. Awesome!
It was holy thursday of the holy week and fish was in big demand. Plus we arrived at the fish port around 6:30 am so the prices were just through the roof. Just a little cheaper or just as expensive as fresh fish in Manila. Maybe the sellers saw we were tourists from Manila. But after a little going around I got to getting better prices.
What we bought? Igat – the sea moray eels, big sea shrimps, live squid with colors still changing, clear eyed alumahan small fish, live crabs, talakitok, wild lapu lapu, some small shrimp.
Lucena fish port is a really nice place to discover. I would like to play tourist and sleep overnight, maybe 2 nights just to be able to see the fish port produce in the really early morning.
Here are some pictures my son took. My son would like to sell these pictures at 50 pesos each / 1 US dollar each for your use in your publication. So please feel free to email me at eesc@filipinowebservices.com for purchasing the full size pictures at 2048 x 1536 pixels.
