Seafood Island Celebrates National Boodle Day

Blackbeard Seafood Island at Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, Laguna

September 16 was "National Boodle Day" at all Blackbeard Seafood Island nationwide. They have reached their 9th year in the country and to celebrate their anniversary, boodle fights were held in all of their branches across the nation. 

Blackbeard Seafood Island has been known locally as a seafood restaurant that serves different varieties of boodle menu and great barbecues.

Used to be, boodle fight is a military way of eating where long tables are prepared and food are lined up on top of banana leaves. The tradition when eating on a boodle fight is that people have to use their bare hands to eat, that is, to show camaraderie among the group. But, now it has been a household word ever since restaurants like Blackbeard Seafood Island launched it to the market.

The contest now begins!

At Nuvali branch where my co-bloggers and I had our boodle, two groups of men who are regulars on the branch were invited  to join the contest. The mechanics was simply to finish the Tali Beach boodle in 15 minutes.   And, obviously, because group 2 were 4  in their team, they won, finishing their boodle in a matter of 5 minutes. Wow! That was really fast! 

Dagupan's Pride

And, if you're going to ask me about my own experience at Seafood Island, actually, this is my second time to eat here. The first one was at MOA branch. My friend and I celebrated our 40th birthday and our ever generous and beautiful friend, Ms. Myra, was kind enough to treat us there. We had the same type of boodle that they served us here in Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, Laguna, and that is the Dagupan's Pride. And as expected, the crispy Bangus stood out. The grilled eggplant and bagoong (shrimp paste) comes second and the tasty and sweet barbecue as the last. Everything that I mentioned was part of the ensemble of the said boodle. It was indeed a gastronomic feast!

Boodle fights definitely brings enjoyment and a different bonding to everyone.Thank you Seafood Island for the beautiful, sweet, and delicious memories!
