CUSTOMER REVIEWS

They steamed it, baked it, cooked it immediately or froze it for weeks. They enjoyed the freshness, taste and texture - even their young children could tell it's different.

That's aside from the convenience of home-delivered super-fresh fish that's ready-to-cook. Read what customers say about their orders from The Sampan Catch.

    "This is what we cooked for one big size giant grouper tonight. Taste SO good! Need to have such a big size to have a taste of meat.  Bone and head was used to cook seafood soup.Soup and fish are both restaurant standard.  Meat is really succulent and fish soup is very rich and flavorful.We feel so blessed to have such good food for dinner."

  • KEVIN T., CHOA CHU KANG

    "Order received yesterday, cooked today. It’s exceedingly fresh and well clean raw fish compared with wet market in town. No other places can buy such great taste sea bass without earthy taste after cooked. Sea bass cooked in braised perch, fresh and delicious. Definitely will buy again from Sampancatch. Thank you Sampancatch for such good quality fishes." 

  • MRS PAT NG, NEWTON

    "Pound for pound, the fish is well worth every cent compared to fish from the market or supermart.  Apart from the great taste, we can eat every bit of the very fresh fish.  Even the head and belly are not wasted - see how my family and I demolished the fish for dinner!"

  • MS A. GOH

    “My BEST result for steam-fish dishbut it was definitely due to the freshness of the Barramundi(Sea-bass) that was delivered from http://sampancatch.com/ ..... Yum! “

  • MRS RETNAM, SENNETT ESTATE

    "I was delighted with the way the fish was cleaned and packed, all ready for cooking.  Ourextra large barramundi's flesh wastender with a subtle sweetness not found in store-bought fish. Cooked in a simple sauce, it made for a sublime dish that drew favorable comments from the table of 8."

  • CAREN, SIGLAP

    "The best Seabass that I've ever bought...Just like 5-star restaurant."

  • MDM NG, SERANGOON GARDENS.

    Having spent 10 years in Hong Kong and really enjoying the freshest fish there,  I find it a huge challenge to prepare Hong Kong style steam fish when I returned to Singapore, as it is not easy to find fresh sea catch fish here.  I came across sampancatch.com and decided to try it out.  I ordered four fish (3 groupers and a sea-bass) from the website and they were delivered in an ice box, individually packed.  

    I decided to steam the grouper ordered from sampancatch. Only fresh fish tastes good when steamed and it is certainly a good way to tell if the fish from Sampancatch is as fresh as claims.

    I am pleased that the grouper tastes really good even with minimal seasoning of only a dash of soy sauce. It has a firm and smooth texture, just like what we eat in the seafood restaurants in Hong Kong.  It is the perfect dish which is delicious, easy to prepare and very healthy for the whole family.  Although I cooked my last fish almost 2 weeks later,  I am surprised that it tastes just as good as the first one!  I am so happy I found sampancatch.com and will highly recommend it to all fish lovers out there."

Even though I kept the fish for more than a week, there was not a tinge of fishy smell.  I had invited a friend over for dinner and she too detected the excellent quality and asked me immediately where I got my supply of fish from! If you wish to cook a meal that impresses, you must get your fish from Sampancatch!"
