We had a great time dining at a friend's place in Obrero and ended up ordering tuna and pompano to bring back to Manila. There were many of us so we ended up with 20kg of tuna and 20kg of pompano to be split up among more than 10 people. Note to those who want to bring seafood from Davao and other cities - do have them packed well and placed inside styro boxes that you must seal to make sure any liquid (water and others) will not seep out of the box. This is true whether you're checking-in a big amount or just a small package with a few items.

| Pompano is also much in demand as you can cook it many ways. These cost also 1/2 or 1/3 of the prices in Metro Manila. |
As it is only a week since our return from Davao, I'm not sure if my colleagues have already cooked their share of the fish. We certainly did last weekend when we grilled some of the tuna panga for Sunday lunch. I didn't get pompano as this was coveted by most and I also had my source of pompano at the Antipolo Market. Nevertheless, I think my colleagues are planning to order these on a more regular basis but they have to go through the freight terminal, flown in perhaps on a morning flight and picked up by someone at the terminal. Of course, we are already looking forward to the next trip to Davao and bring home more of these fresh seafood.
