Cebu's Sutukil is a portmanteau for "Sugba, Tuwa, and Kilaw".

Sugba means "to grill", tuwa is "to make into a soup" and kil is a variation of kilaw which means "fish served raw in a salad".

Sutukil are just the main ways of cooking the delicious fresh seafood found in the rich marine resources in Mactan.

The Sutukil is not actually just one restaurant but several restaurants located in one area. Talk about competition! To get to Cebu Sutukil in Mactan you just need go to Mactan Shrine where beside it is an entrance to a parking lot that in turn leads to a narrow entrance. When you enter the Sutukil area you will be greeted by several touts who will try to drag you to their Sutukil restaurant.
