List of Bacolod Seafood Restaurants and Native Foods

We love seafood. Hubby and I would often buy fresh seafood and cook them at home. But when we dine out, we also love to seek out Bacolod seafood restaurants. I also include some joints here that serve native dishes. They’re kinda related anyway. For a complete list of homegrown Bacolod restaurants, read my other post.

Pala-pala Seafood Restaurants

Pala-pala refers to the line of eateries along the Pala-pala seafood market. However, some of these Bacolod seafood restaurants are makeshift. The usual practice is that people buy fresh catch at the seafood market then they go to these eateries called “tulahan” (an Ilonggo word that means “where tinola is cooked”). They cook your seafood according to your liking–grilled, buttered, sizzling, fried, or as tinola (in a soup).
