In a bustling city like Manila, convenience and quality are essential when it comes to purchasing fresh seafood. While the local grocery stores might offer some common seafood options, there's something special about the selection found in your local wet markets and palengkes. 

Going to the palengke might be unfamiliar to some, but for those who have experienced the vibrant, lively atmosphere of these markets, the array of fresh seafood - fish, shellfish, shrimps, squids, and more - are simply unmatched. Palengkes are the lifeblood of local cuisine, and they offer seafood enthusiasts an opportunity to explore culinary delights that simply aren't readily available in regular grocery stores.

Palengkes such as Quinta Market, Carvajal Market Street, Trabajo Market have been serving the residents of Manila for years. They serve as a rich source of exceptionally fresh and distinctive seafood, often hard to come by elsewhere. But what if you could enjoy the diverse offerings of a palengke without leaving the comfort of your home?
