EYs Tuna

 EYs Tuna is one of  my favorite places to eat with the family or a large group of friends. They specialize in gorgeously prepared seafood cooked in the traditional Filipino style.

Honestly, I am not a big fan of seafood because I am allergic to most sea critters. Also, I do not necessarily find the thought of an all-seafood restaurant particularly exciting. But there is always an exception. And for me that exception is EYs Tuna.

Why?

Because unlike most other seafood restaurants, EYs Tuna serves gorgeous dishes that pack a flavorful punch. Thus, I dont end up feeling like there is a lack of meaty goodness to my meal. The EYs Tuna experience is always a positive one because their food is fresh, healthy, and downright delicious.

More interestingly, EYs Tuna is a pioneer in customizable cooking. That means that you could simply pick out any type and form of seafood in their fresh seafood display counter and ask the kitchen to cook it in any style you want.

So what are my recommendations?

1.) Start off with a soup of Imbao. This hard-to-find shellfish is always good in soup. However, in EYs Tuna, their Imbao is exceptionally huge and meaty; making it a lot more delish. Also, there isnt any grit in their shellfish unlike in those served in most restos.

2.) As an appetizer, try their deep-fried crispy crablets-- bite-sized pieces of crabs deep fried with a special breading. You can eat the whole crab in one bite! It's crunchy, flavorful, savory, and gorgeously addictive!

3.) Sizzling tuna tendons are also one of my most favorite items one the menu. The texture is gorgeous as the chewy yet crunchy tendon serves as the perfect counterbalance to the crisp vegetables and the silky EYs Tuna special secret sauce. 

4.) A meal at EYs tuna would not be complete without sampling their gorgeous tuna panga (jowls) or tuna belly. Have your tuna panga grilled expertly by their master cooks and prepare to enjoy the most flavorful, most tender tuna jowls you will ever have in this lifetime. I used to enjoy the grilled tuna belly as well but this all changed when I tried their deep-fried tuna belly with garlic. The good news is that it isnt on the menu yet, but please do ask for it whenever you are at EYs Tuna. It will be our little secret. I promise you, you will thank me for recommending this gorgeously garlicky slab of tender and juicy tuna with a crunchy outside layer. Just describing it on this blog is making my mouth water.

And as if that was not enough to make you crave for gorgeous seafood, here are some photos of their best-sellers:

So whom do I recommend EYs Tuna to? Everybody. Why? Because their food is wholesome, fresh, and healthy. However, i think EYs Tuna is also perfect for tourists and visitors. It is one of those restos that you may be proud of; it must be at the top of your list whenever you want to boast of Davaoeno specialities to your visitors from outside the city.

The good news is that the price is not bad at all. Your thousand bucks could fit five (for a full course meal, soft drinks, and rice) and you may even have some food leftover. It is that affordable!
