Cheap seafood buffets in Singapore below $50

Image adapted from: Eatbook

Buffets aren’t just about eating our favourite food, it’s also about getting our money’s worth – and so many of us swarm to the seafood section the moment we grab our plates.

Given how pricey fresh seafood can be, expansive seafood spreads are more frequently found in atas hotels. But we’ve sussed out a list of affordable, non-hotel seafood buffets for you seafood lovers. Free-flow crabs, lobsters, prawns, and oysters, all under $50? Count me in.

1. Tunglok seafood – from $26.80

No doubt that Tunglok Seafood is well-established, but their ala carte buffets come at a surprisingly non-exorbitant price tag.

From just $26.80, you can order as many seafood delights off their ala carte buffet menu, such as black pepper crab, chilli crab, and deep-fried sugarcane prawns. 

You’ll also need at least 4 people for a table, so do call along your fellow seafood-lovers. After all, sharing your dishes gives you more stomach space to enjoy a wider variety!
