Tip: The 'buy and cook' arrangement works well: buy fish by weight here and pay a nearby eatery a small fee to grill it.

Watch outSeafood is weighed with ice and water in the pan. Ask for it weighed dry in front of you and agree the cooking fee before handing anything over.

3. White Beach Path

Watch outBeach hawkers selling 'South Sea pearls' at implausible prices are selling coated shell beads. Buy pearls in Manila or Cebu if you want the real thing.
