Morning Catch, Discovery Samal’s seafood destination, turns the island’s best catch into the kind of meal that’s worth the trip from Davao.
Here, today’s locally-sourced fish, prawns, crabs and shellfish take the spotlight, cooked exactly how you like — grilled, fried, or gently steamed — and finished with bright, familiar Asian flavors of ginger, soy, chili, citrus and fragrant aromatics.
Come for the catch-of-the-day and stay for the seaside setting, an easy, sunlit lunch that stretches into the afternoon, or a shoreline dinner that feels like a mini escape.

Market Specials put the day’s catch up front in straightforward, aroma-driven preparations. The charcoal roasted catch of the day comes with pandan and lemongrass, finished with a chili garlic dip for clean, savory heat.
For a lighter approach, the steamed catch is layered with ginger, leeks, shiitake, premium soy sauce and coriander.
There’s lapu-lapu for diners who want a crisp bite, finished with chili sauce or a sweet-and-sour glaze, plus grilled stuffed squid when the table wants variety without over-ordering.
For diners coming in for a long lunch or an unhurried dinner, Morning Catch offers an easy reason to stay a little longer — fresh seafood, Asian-forward flavors, and a setting that feels like a mini escape.
Morning Catch is on Level 1 beside the beach club at Discovery Samal.
