Wasay Wasay in English is called Fresh Black Lip Oyster. It is a popular dish eaten fresh in the Southern Philippines.

Wasay Wasay seafood is harvested wild from the coral reefs of Bantayan Island and the nearby island provinces and municipalities. Wasay Wasay can be grown artificially through aquaculture.


Philippine locals usually eat wasay wasay by steaming it and dipping it or pairing it with vinegar after it is cooked.
