From Sea to Table the Asian Way at Morning Catch

Morning Catch, Discovery Samal’s seafood destination, turns the island’s best catch into the kind of meal that’s worth the trip from Davao. Here, today’s locally sourced fish, prawns, crabs, and shellfish take the spotlight, cooked exactly how you like -  grilled, fried, or gently steamed - and finished with bright, familiar Asian flavors of ginger, soy, chili, citrus, and fragrant aromatics.

Come for the catch-of-the-day and stay for the seaside setting, an easy, sunlit lunch that stretches into the afternoon, or a shoreline dinner that feels like a mini escape. If you’re craving seafood that tastes like it just left the ocean, Morning Catch is your best reason to travel to Samal Island.
