8 Fresh Seafood Delivery Services for Busy Singaporeans With No Time To Shop After Work

Fresh seafood delivery in Singapore


Shopping for groceries can take a big chunk of time out of any working adult’s schedule. Choose to either wake up early before work to head to the wet market or brave the after-work crowds at supermarkets in the evening. 

While there are many online grocery stores in Singapore, these eight fresh seafood delivery services will ensure that you get the freshest catch of the day at your doorstep, just in time for dinner. 


1. Kühlbarra – individually vacuum-wrapped to maintain freshness longer

Kühlbarra ocean-farms and harvests premium Australian barramundi right here in Singapore. Upon harvesting, the fish is immediately packed in ice and within hours, filleted in a cold room and vacuum-packed. The fish are then delivered in an insulated box with ice, ensuring that you receive them as fresh as can be – pop it into the fridge and it’ll retain its quality for up to a week. 

You can find different parts of barramundi – fillets, bones, and heads on their site, as well as Barramundi Chowder ($11.60), stocks and marinades like Rendang Rempah ($8.56) to pair with the fish. You can also find plenty of chef-created recipes on their site to jazz up your standard dinner protein.

Must-buy: Barra Blessing ($52), get five pieces of barramundi in 200G portions which are usually $10.70 apiece.

Some popular picks include Red Snapper Fillet (from $14), Gong Gong (from $6.50), and Grouper (from $25/1KG) which you can choose how you want to be cut and prepared.
