In a city where Inasal almost always means charcoal-grilled chicken, Anyhow Isdalicious Inasal is proving that the grill’s best-kept secret actually has scales. Across six locations in Metro Manila, the brand is changing Filipino grilling traditions. Instead of the usual salt-and-pepper “ihaw-ihaw”, they’ve introduced the rich, citrusy flavors of authentic Inasal. As Lenten begins, Anyhow is proving that you can enjoy a hearty, flavorful meal without meat.

The Inasal Authority: Respecting the Cut

For too long, grilled fish has been a predictable second choice. Nonetheless, Anyhow Isdalicious Inasal prepares fish with the skill of a specialized grill house, emphasizing premium cuts such as Tuna Belly, Tuna Panga, Blue Marlin, Pampano, Bangus, and Seabass.

The key to “Isdalicious” outstanding flavor lies in its aromatics. Instead of overpowering seasonings, each piece is infused with a house-made blend of lemongrass, ginger, garlic, and citrus. This marinade soaks deep into the fish, ensuring the flavor emerges from within. When grilled over charcoal, it develops a natural, golden char that remains light and fresh—aligned with the brand’s promise of “Healthy na, masarap pa!”

The Soul of the Grill

The heart of the menu is the Tuna Belly Inasal, a cut that perfectly carries the bright, zesty notes of the lemongrass marinade. For those who know their fish, the Tuna Panga is a must-try—a flavor-packed choice for anyone who understands that the most tender meat is found right against the bone.

The lineup offers a variety of textures for every palate. The Seabass and Pampano are prized for their delicate, light flakes that stay moist under the heat of the fire. The Blue Marlin offers a meaty, steak-like bite for those seeking for something substantial, while the Bangus is elevated from a simple staple to a smoky, flavor-heavy centerpiece.

Sizzling Fish Sisig: The Lighter Crunch

Anyhow’s Sisig has become a favorite among those seeking the classic Filipino crunch without the heaviness of pork. The Tuna Sisig gives you a savory, crispy bite, while the Salmon Sisig delivers a premium, melt-in-your-mouth experience. Both are coated in a signature sauce and topped with fresh siling haba for a balanced kick that hits the spot.

A Partner throughout the Lenten Season

While Anyhow remains a go-to destination for flavorful Lenten meals, the brand recognizes that the observance becomes even more personal as the season culminates. Holy Week is a time for quiet reflection, and Anyhow is helping families keep their meal planning simple even when the stores close their doors. To support the transition from restaurant dining to home observance, the brand is offering its ‘Isdalicious at Home’ raw marinated line.

While these premium cuts are perfected on the charcoal grill, they are designed for the modern kitchen—equally effective when pan-fried, baked, or air-fried. With the deep citrus marinade already locked into the meat, families can serve a soulful, meat-free meal with zero stress, keeping the focus on reflection rather than kitchen preparation.
