Premium Quality Milkfish at Seafood City

Pangasinan BangusSeafood City takes to heart the needs of its customers by offering excellent products at low everyday prices -- so they can enjoy real value for money.

Take for example the tons of plump, fresh, whole Milkfish (Bangus) flown in directly from Pangasinan and General Santos, two of the foremost Bangus-raising regions in the Philippines.

"The Bangus or milkfish is harvested exclusively for Seafood City. We made the deal with the top Bangus farms in the Philippines this year, just to make sure that we are able to offer top quality Bangus to our customers in time for this year," said a Seafood City company official. Seafood City's premium quality Bangus from Pangasinan and General Santos is available at selected stores.

"These are premium quality Bangus, not production overruns or excess stock that other vendors are trying to dispose of. The top Bangus producers in the Philippines set aside a portion of their choicest Bangus for us," the Seafood City official emphasized. Bangus or milkfish is the national fish of the Philippines and forms part of many Filipino dishes.
