Not everyone has the time to head down to the local fish market to pick out the freshest seafood—or maybe you do, but you’d rather stay in the comfort of your own home instead (no need to feel guilty, we’ve all been there).
For seafood lovers looking for a little extra convenience the next time you’re cooking up a dish, check out these five companies that deliver fresh seafood straight to your doorstep.
Dish The Fish
Started by husband-and-wife duo Jeffrey Tan and Angeline Ong in 2015, Dish The Fish became the first digitalised fish business in Singapore.
Jeffery was born into the fish business. His father worked as a wholesale fish supplier at Jurong Fishery Port. After his father’s passing, Jeffrey’s elder brother set up a new fish stall at a wet market to continue the family business. Jeffrey helped to tend the stall from when he was just 10 years old. Confident that they could improve on many areas of business operations, he gave up his comfortable day job at the age of 30 to start Dish The Fish—“a traditional fishmonger that’s gone digital.”
Dish The Fish specialises in the sale of fresh seafood, from Canadian wild salmon to giant tiger prawns—they’ve got pretty much everything! Their products are sourced from all over the world and they pride themselves on being able to offer consumers an wide assortment of seafood.
They understand the importance of people being able to trust their food sources, so they ensure that every product is inspected thoroughly before putting them up for sale, claiming that you can rest assured knowing that your dish will never contain any impurities or contaminants when you order from Dish The Fish.
Orders under $80 will require a $20 delivery charge and orders with a minimum spend of $80 will have free delivery.
