December 7, 2012. After our visit to Magellan's Cross, we hailed a jeepney just across the street P7.50 each. I read about the prices before going to Tabo-an. It's a bit pricey on December. Their reason? It's not season yet. But if you have the will and know the "art of haggling" you can buy MORE with your money. Danggit... More

We were there about 25 minutes and we smelled---our hair, our clothes, everything. When we walked into our hotel, one look at our sealed box and the concierge said, "dried fish!" It wasn't a question. No arguments and they stored it away in their storage room until the day we checked out. If you plan to go somewhere else after... More

We got there by riding one of the jeeps passing along Sergio Osmena Boulevard (I think the jeep's number was either 12J or 12I?) where the ride took around 20 minutes or so and boy did we find out that we were there (the scent was hard to miss). We were surprised to find that the streets were not as... More

You can find the best selection of dried seafood stuff here. For the foreign tourist this is a much, much, much better option to visit than Carbon Market. Be prepared for dirt though and some sights that may be unsettling. There were some amazing skills seen here, e.g. The making of logannissa itself right in the market itself.

Tabo-an Market is a good stop for travelers who wish to buy some of the best dried seafood, Cebu Chorizo and goods at a bargain of a price! There is not much to say other than the fact that it really does look like a straightforward market! It is quite known because the products that go here come from the... More
