What Home Cooks Say About Us
Real results. Real confidence.
My 8-year-old finally loved fish
I've tried for years to get my kids to eat seafood. Every time, the malansa smell made them gag. Then I tried Del Puerto's salmon. My daughter said, "Mom, this is yummy!" First time in 8 years I didn't have to fight her to finish her meal.
My dinner guests asked where I got it
I served Del Puerto's tiger prawns at a dinner party. Everyone asked where I sourced them. They thought I had a secret supplier. The quality is that good. I finally feel confident cooking seafood for guests.
Never going back to the supermarket
I used to waste so much time checking if the salmon at the supermarket looked okay. Half the time it didn't. Now I just order from Del Puerto and know it's going to be perfect. Game changer for busy weekends.
Three Generations in Seafood
Our Story
Why We Built Del Puerto
My family has sourced seafood in Metro Manila for three generations.
I grew up in the ports, surrounded by fish. I've watched my family select, handle, and judge seafood quality since before I could cook. I know what pristine seafood looks and smells like, and I know how rare it is to find it by the time it reaches most kitchens in the city.
I've spent my whole life watching home cooks struggle with the same frustrating cycle. The supermarket gamble. The palengke hassle. Online orders arriving thawed. Settling for chicken. Again.
But here's what three generations taught me that most people never learn: the problem was never the fish. It was the supply chain.
The same bangus that tastes incredible at the source tastes malansa by the time it sits in a market stall for a day and a half. The same salmon that's perfect when it arrives in Manila tastes metallic after 48 hours under supermarket lights. The fish didn't fail you. The system between the ocean and your kitchen did.
So I built Del Puerto to fix the system. We source from the same suppliers that Metro Manila's top restaurants trust. We freeze within hours, not days. And we deliver with packaging tested to survive the worst Manila traffic and heat.
No more gambling. No more malansa. No more disappointment.
Just confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before ordering
Frozen. And here's why that's actually better.
That "fresh" fish at the supermarket has been slowly degrading for 3 to 4 days. Ours is frozen at peak quality within hours of being caught. Which means it's actually fresher than "fresh."
Think of it like pressing pause the moment the seafood is at its absolute best. That's what proper freezing does.
No. And here's why that happens in the first place.
That dreaded malansa smell and taste comes from one thing: decay over time. From the moment seafood leaves the water, a clock starts ticking. Every hour it sits on a market stall, under supermarket lights, or in transit, that fishy smell gets worse.
Our seafood is frozen at peak freshness, before that clock has a chance to run. When you thaw it in your kitchen, it smells and tastes like it was just caught. That's why your kids will actually eat it and your family will ask for seconds.
It comes down to when it was frozen and how it got to you.
Supermarket frozen fish often has an unclear history. You don't know when it was caught, when it was frozen, or how many times the cold chain was broken along the way. That's why the quality is so hit or miss.
Our seafood is frozen at peak freshness, vacuum-sealed to lock out air and freezer burn, and delivered to your door with cold chain integrity from our facility to your kitchen. Every product, every time.
Yes. Every product arrives cleaned, portioned, and vacuum-sealed. No gutting, no scaling, no mess.
Just thaw, season, and cook. You go straight from package to pan. No palengke-level prep work required.
A little softness on the surface is completely normal and does not affect the quality or safety of your seafood at all.
What matters is the core. As long as your seafood arrives with a firm, frozen core, it's in perfect condition. Think of it like ice cream on a hot day. The outside softens first, but the inside stays solid. Your seafood is the same.
In the rare case that your order arrives fully thawed to the core or damaged, just send us a photo and we'll replace your entire order or refund 100% of your money. No questions asked. You keep the product either way.
We accept GCash, Maya, credit and debit cards, and bank transfer through our secure checkout.
We don't currently offer COD, and here's why: every order requires us to prepare and pack your seafood fresh from our freezer with insulated packaging and ice packs. Prepayment lets us guarantee that your order is reserved, packed, and out the door on time with no delays.
But here's your safety net: if your seafood arrives thawed to the core or damaged in any way, we replace it or refund you in full. No questions, no hassle. You're never stuck paying for something that isn't perfect.
