Castaway Seafood and Grill — Restaurant in San Fernando

I lived in Australia for awhile and had my fair share of good seafood in Restaurants and cooked by myself. The seafood in Castaway is rubbish and not worth the money. We had the seafood platter B for PHP 1185. I know what's available on the local market and the prices. The platter looks good and kind of impressive when brought to the table on first sight. But after sampling, here are the biggest failures: 1. The black Mussels were the smallest available on the market which I bought for less than 100 PHP a kg. The rate of empty ones is extremely high.

This place is nice for people who likes privacy with a beach view. Kinda pricey but it was worth it for us.

I wish the weather was better when we were there tho. I think this place looks amazing...

Ambience was nice. Okay naman first try namin, our kids waited for the fries until magbill out kami knowing na wala na babalik pala. They said to follow. They didn't say sorry about this. They even laughed about it. Seafood doesn't have a taste. They said its cajun but it doesn't have seasoning. Mas masarap...
