J&A Fishpen Seafood Restaurant
J&A Fishpen
A fishpond seafood restaurant that locals rate highly, where you dine in stilt huts over a lagoon on fish freshly netted and grilled.
Located at the Tanguines Lagoon beside Benoni Port in Mahinog, reachable on foot from the ferry pier, making it convenient before or after ferry trips. The restaurant is built over a fishpond, with stilt huts and floating platforms for seating. After ordering, fish are caught straight from the pond, and you can also try fishing yourself. Grilled fish gets the highest praise (molmol, grouper and others), and Filipino raw fish salad kinilaw and sour soup sinigang are also common orders, though reviews are mixed. Prices are above most restaurants on the island, so ask about prices before ordering. About 500–1,000 pesos per person.
