Ivisan Fish Port in the Province of Capiz

Ivisan Fish Port | Basiao, Ivisan in Capiz. Before heading to our island hopping trip, we bought fish, crabs and lobster at their fish port. They are all fresh and a live. The price is so cheap not expensive versus in the market. The town of Ivisan is become the most dynamic port in the region because of the high volume of seafood. My cousin's friend is very helpful and friendly. She also arranged our boat for the island hopping. The boatman uses a big "lambat" for fishing and the water is so clear.
