Tanjay Coastal Fishing Grounds

Description

Fishing grounds along the Tanjay coast. In Tanjay, an east-coast city known island-wide as the source of budbud. Landings run on the boats, not on shop hours — the catch comes ashore early and is gone to the markets by mid-morning. Buying at the landing means lower prices and whatever came in that day rather than a choice. Worth timing a visit at first light if you want to see how the day’s supply actually starts.

Tips
Budbud made here goes out by truck to Dumaguete daily — buying it in Tanjay means getting it before it travels. Ask at the market early; production is household-scale and finishes by mid-morning.
Stops
Dumaguete–Valencia Food Belt
How to get there
On the east-coast highway between Dumaguete and Bais; any northbound bus or jeepney passes through.
Best Times
Early morning — markets, landings and roadside stalls all run hardest before 8am.
