How to go there

From Panglao Island, we rented a boat to tour us around Bohol’s nearby Island. Balicasag Island, was one of our deals with him.

What to Eat

After snorkeling at Balicasag, we stopped at about past 10, just in time to grab some lunch at the island. A local resident there has an eatery outside her house, and offers fresh-catch fish for food. We picked a seat, and have a looked at what’s on the menu.

Instead of a menu you can read, the menu of the eatery can be seen on this Styrofoam container where all the fish they have are. Jeff and I got the pusit (squid) and Samara fish, along with a bottle of coke, and 3 rice. The fish costs P315 per kilo, any kind.

While waiting for the food to be cooked. I started to build some sand-art on the shore, an old accessories-seller lady came up to me and offered some jewelries. I declined to buy, instead she offered me a free bracelet. I didn’t took that one either, and a few moments later, another lady offered me a free bracelet. I dont know what kind of marketing strategy that is, but I ended up getting the free bracelet. hehe. Jeff and I also brought some souvenirs from Balicasag in there.

A few moments later, our inihaw (grilled) na ‘Samara’ fish and squid were available. We finished the whole thing in less than an hour.
