Aside from Pacman, one thing all Pinoys think of when they hear GenSan is Tuna! Most first-time visitors make it a point to visit the Fish Port located along the shore of Sarangani Bay to witness gigantic tunas being transported and sold. But the best way to enjoy tuna is of course to eat it. The best place for food tripping is Tiongson Aracade, where you can eat like a local and indulge in a dampa-style dining experience. Indulge in tuna belly, tuna kinilaw (ceviche), tuna bagaybay (roe), tuna bihod (eggs) and or go all out with a seafood boodle fight. For unique food pasalubong items, you can take home frozen tuna products, Tuna Chicharon and locally-made chocolate bars from Great Harvest.
