Fish Restaurants

[StephenJonesPonty]

We are visiting Singapore - arriving this coming Saturday - for a two week stay that will include the F1 weekend. We are staying close to Orchard Road (hotel Jen Tanglin)

Can anyone recommend any good fish restaurants.

We have already been to Sg several times and are well used to using the MRT system so distance is no particular issue.

Thanks in advance,
Steve

If you like Chinese style, Riverside Grilled Fish (Have both spicy or non spicy). Multiple locations. Raffles City (just nice for your F1), or Vivo City.

Else Greenwood Fish Market is also not a bad option. (It is at bukit timah or Sentosa)

You’ve got to check out No Signboard Seafood (this is the name). Really fresh, and prepared a variety of ways. A little pricey though, but I think it’s well worth it. How long are you staying? Hotel Jen is awesome.

Regarding the Bukit Timah location, unless you are a hiker and like an uphill trek to build up a sweat getting there from MRT on the main road, you would need to take a taxi (best bet). Don't drive as parking is a B**ch! it is surrounded by old bungalows and duplex housing and VERY narrow streets. The one parking lot there is totally insufficient. However, having said that I ate there recently, July, I think. and the food, was decent but not impressive enough to go for a repeat performance. Also, they have heaps of different fare but you need to ask (preferably by calling before you make a trip up there as it seems that due to covid/russia/china, etc. their actual selection of seafood is considerably less that what is on their menu. I used to walk up and down Watten Estates twice a day back in 1982 but I was in my late 30's and still in my prime.

^^ This, I have been to Greenwood many times, the only way to have any chance to park there is to come at an odd hour, and even then, no guarantees. I’ve only eaten at Greenwood Fish Market once. Quality is good, but for the price, it just isn’t great value for money IMO, so I haven’t been back.

When you say Chinese style do you mean something like ChongQing grilled fish? Or something more local.

Yes!! Parking is absolutely horrible. Lucky for me I have a friend living along Linden Drive so I’m able to park in their garage when necessary but even then it’s too much of a hassle.

Have you tried Rubato? Along the same stretch. Really famous Italian food, but crazy expensive.

I was very impressed by the fisherman stew at Sentosa Greenwood FM.

Turf City had some good restaurants upstairs too, where you can choose your food from the tanks and tell them how to cook it, always good to have a group of people to enjoy a good diversity of dishes.

Don’t go to Smith’s for Fish and Chips…rip off

I have nothing against Smith’s but I must agree. They are overpriced - lad and dad has far better fish and chips.

You can try red house seafood restaurant at esplanade/grand copthorne. You can also try their chilli crabs/pepper crabs.
