Reviews Blackbeard's Seafood Island

Blackbeard’s Seafood Island offers 300 pesos off for customers that are/with birthday celebrants. We haven’t visited this restaurant in the past 3 years. We ordered the Dapitan set good for 3-4 persons. At first glance, the meals looks unfulfilling size-wise but after having finished the meal we were full. The barbeque marinate was flavorful, the fishball stuffed with cheese was so good I actually wanted more haha! The french garlic clams and canton sotanghon guisado tasted bland for my taste but the chicken adobo sa gata was too salty it can’t be eaten without rice. The lato was perfect for times when you feel umay with the dishes. My favorite of all was the kalkag rice! It’s something that’s quite new to my taste. The place looks very spacious because of the high ceiling and he staff were very attentive. This place is highly recommended especially for family dinners.

I wish they could extend their store hours until 12 midnight. One of the best restaurant with good quality of food! Worth spending your money.

Fresh seafood platter. Clean place and has good customer service. Lots of seats for customers. Affordable price for a boodle fight themed restaurant. Thumbs up!!!

Seafood island is our to go place whenever we wants to eat boodle style. Boodle style is served under banana leaves and usually everything is served in this one banana leaves and everyone eats here as well thus is meant for sharing.

Blackbeard never fails, it's our nth time in this restaurant and we just keeps coming back. This time we had this boodle with grilled squid, milkfish, shrimps and liempo with Kalkag rice and oh boy it's fantastic! This is not a place if you're on a diet as surely you'd be eating more rice than you intend to. :)

Just ordered 2 dishes for lunch. Nothing else. One of the best sinigang na baboy for me. Always.😍😚😙😗 Have tried their boodle and it was worth it. Good for big groups.

Place - restaurant is spacious and crowded. Lots of people dining the time we came. Ambiance is ok. Lightings are a bit too bright.

Service - staff were ok however a little unattentive. We had to tell the waiter 4 times for a glass of water. Orders came about 20 - 30 mins after ordering.

Food - we ordered the Davao Gulf and Seafood Pansit. It was ok, I actually liked the Davao Gulf since it has 3 different rice in the set. Food were good. Seafood pansit is like a normal pansit bihon w/ lots of seafood toppings.

As usual, I love their plating for the boodle menu. I don't know if its me or the food here is better unlike with the other Seafood Island branches.

PS. The aquarium outside is entertaining too.

Try the Boodle Feast 😊 when we went for a short vacation I make sure that we eat at this Restaurant. I was so fascinated on how the food is served. Now I know it comes with a big wooden tray. Delicious seafoods, huge portion and great concept. Very affordable.

"Nakapag-Boodle ka na ba?!" ..they asked so I answered by gorging on their #BoracayFeast and it best eaten with yer hands matey!! the rice, the seafood, the sides were gRRRreat!!

The place is nice and cozy, best for family ,group and friends who wanna try seafood best in town,we ordered the dagupans menu good for 3 to 4 heads worth 795php, budget friendly I may say, try it and nice place for a boodle fight!:)

Blackbeard’s Seafood Island Review

If we talk about boodle food fight or boodle feast one thing comes to mind- seafood! What better way to enjoy boodle with friends than fight over pieces of shrimps or crabs in a boodle feast. Luckily yesterday we had our staff meeting and we were treated with a bountiful feast at Seafood Island.
Restaurant Ambiance- 4 STARS

The seafood island theme is very much in effect in all of their branches. The colorful paintings on the wall depict island vibe which is very much appropriate. Seats and table spacing is quite comfy too.
Service and Pricing- 4.5 STARS

The staff in all the branches that I’ve been to is very attentive. The service crew is highly approachable and welcoming.

Island Seafood Menu and Dishes- 4 STARS
Looking at their menu I am glad that there is variety. Aside from the usual seafood flare in the Island Seafood boodle feast sets the addition of grilled meats such as pork barbecue, grilled chicken, grilled tomatoes and talong (eggplant) and a variety of sides such as slices of fresh green mangoes, watermelons and condiments make it all satisfying.

I love variety whenever I eat out so I am glad to see that we have other things on our table aside from the boodle sets. We had a noodle dish, an original Island Seafood version of nachos and deep fried huge bangus (milkfish) overloaded with crisp garlic on top.

Now let’s talk about Seafood Island food-

Mt. Apo Boodle feast set- excellent choice for a group of 5 or 7 people. Good serving of garlic rice on a bed of fresh banana leaf. Comes with shrimps, fried fish, grilled pork, grilled chicken, crabs, pinakbet, pork pisngi (cheeks) stew and even a soup on a bao (coconut shell). The myriad of sawsawan (dips, sauces) makes it perfect. 4 STARS

Tali Beach Boodle feast set- perfect for a smaller group like 3 to 5 depending of course on your appetite. Pieces of shrimps, white rice, small fried tilapia, small crabs, inihaw na talong (grilled eggplant, grilled tomato (just one), big serving of pork barbecue, grilled chicken, grilled squid, lumpia pieces (spring roll), seaweed, slices of green mango and slices of watermelon are part of this set. Of course this also comes with dips including bagoong (shrimp paste). The variety is good and I particularly love how the squid was perfectly grilled. 4 STARS

Garlic Smothered Jambangus- this is fried big bangus topped with heaping serving of toasted garlic bits. Love it so much that I could consume the entire dish on my own knowing that I avoid milkfish for its bones. But this one is good since it’s huge and I hardly felt any sticking ‘tinik’ (bone) on my mouth. Love it. 4.5 STARS

Valentine’s Boodle for Two- our group has to sample this so we ordered one on top of our 2 boodle sets. I particularly love the red iced tea that comes with it and the fresh fruit dessert which is good for sharing. The set comes with grilled pork liempo in special sweet and tangy sauce and four battered shrimps. BTW, they have a special promo just in time for Valentine’s this set is only priced at Php499.

Pinoy Nachos- I am a big fan of nachos and this version is good but it could have been better. I love how the fried nacho or wanton wrapper (for this Pinoy version) was fried. It is crispy but oily. They should have drip the oil off or use a paper towel to get rid of the oiliness. The dip is bland- so bland that all I could taste is pure starch or something. I suggest that they should improve on this dish particularly the dip since this could be a signature dish for Island Seafood also.      2 STARS

Pancit Espesyal con Lechon Kawali- Yes! This could be one of the tastiest pancit (noodle dish) that I ever tasted. It is super yummy and flavorful. Got lots of sliced veggies on it and a fantastic special sauce plus the lechon kawali toppings go well with it. Will definitely be coming back for this dish. 5 STARS

Final VERDICT: My overall Blackbeards Seafood Island boodle feast experience is not bad at all and besides, I and my colleagues had fun while eating. The servings are good for sharing and the variety of dishes on their menu makes it very interesting. I would recommend this to those who crave island vibe food and comforting Pinoy dishes.

The Dagupan Festival was great. The bagoong rice exceeded my expectations. Though the "tahong" was replaced by grilled liempo (which tahong was my favorite), the whole boodle feast still the best. Seafood Island will always be one of my favorite seafood restaurant.

We ordered one of the boodle menu as we were celebrating with family over lunch. They have enough space for dining customers. Order came out timely. Since we were eating a boodle feast, it would be best to eat using hands. However, they could put on better hand soap to help wash away food grease. Still, the family enjoyed the food.

This place is located at Fiesta Market Market Bonifacio Global City---- We went here after malling at market market, I always recommend this to my family as they are seafood lover. We ordered the one in banana leaf, with like shrimp, meat, fish, squid and rice! It super good! My family is really happy when we came here because they are superfull.

With regards to the ambiance, maybe they should add like more table and chairs because they are super full when we came. With regards to the price, I think we paid around 2,000 for 5 people, not bad right! Oh for the staff, they should be more attentive next time.

★★★★
If you are a huge fan of seafood, you must try it here! Located near Market! Market! Mall they sure have a lot of competition. So what does Seafood make them so special?

Ambiance:
Love the vintage look, chandeliers on the ceiling, tables and chairs made out of wood. Now that's what a filipino reataurant should look like!

Food:
We ordered 'Tali Beach' which is served on a wood shaped in square and the presentation was unusual because there are wooden sticks erected on each sides so it looks like a skeletal tent. I figured, maybe because its called 'Tali' (means string), the shrimps are tied to the end so its suspended from the erected skewers, and there are also seaweeds (lato). With banana leaves spread out on the bottom, it looks like a boodle fight. To be honest, we were stuffed! And since, most of the seafoods are just broiled, you will need a lot of condiments such as shrimp paste (bagoong) and soy sauce (toyo).

Service:
We were waiting for the servers in sight to order. Little did we know, the guys wearing black sleeves with jeans are the waiters themselves! I just find it not appealing because it doesnt look neat.

But the overall experience was great, I'm planning on having the boodle fight later this year and bring friends!!!

i'm a fan of dagupan's pride but my youngest, who was celebrating her birthday requested for tali beach. we ordered mangga and bagoong too. it was indeed a boodle feast. it's just too cold inside but the staff are willing to help and adjust the AC.

Seafood Island is one of our place to be after we play badminton. Since by that time we'll be a hungry pig, we always go to somewhere we can stuff ourselves with good food. This restaurant has a vibe for groups as tables are connected to each other and they specialize in the boodle fight where food is literally for sharing, like you can eat in one banana leaves spread. I suggest you can order the Palawan for the seafoods and the Northern one (I forgot, I think it's Vigan) for you to tastes the Bagnet and the another dish with the like but with the sauce on it. Plates will be offered to you together with the set food but it will be fun if you can eat on that one big thing with your friends or family if you're comfortable with it. I always enjoy eating out here in this place.
