How it works
Seafood restaurants on the General Luna waterfront and along Tourism Road present fresh catch at prices significantly above the local market rate, with some presenting fish "by the kilo" at tourist prices where the weight is not measured in front of the customer. Bills sometimes reflect a different (higher) weight than the fish served.
