"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!"

- Mrs Pat Ng, Newton

"V v fresh n big groupa!! ... Everybody's so happy." 

 - Dorothy Chew, East Coast

"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."

 - Mdm Ng, Serangoon Gardens.  She cooked her Pearl Grouper Extra-Large (1.6-1.9kg) after having kept it frozen for a month.  She kindly sent us her recipe for Fried Grouper with Vegetables.

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

- Caren, Siglap

"Mum in law steamed this in black bean sauce...sooo fresh & yumm!!"

- Ms Ong, Holland Road 

"We had steamed sea bass and my family loved it!  For the first time, my 11-year-old daughter ate sea bass belly (tender sweet and not at all bitter) and was fighting with me for the fish head!  The flesh was so fresh that we stripped every inch of it.  Will definitely order more from sampancatch."

- Wendy C., Bukit Timah

"Having kept the sea bass freshly frozen after a week, I steamed the fish in teochew style.  The flesh tasted soft and fine as though freshly harvested. No fishy smell. My family enjoyed it so much! I strongly recommend my friends who are fish lovers to order from sampancatch.com."

- Stacy, Sengkang

"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."

"...we hv the grouper for dinner.  D quality is yummy + fresh ...  Oishi ney!  (Very Fresh)  ichiban!  Uno!  (Number 1)...ho jiak!"

- Desmond, East Coast, who cooked the grouper more than 3 weeks after delivery

"I was delighted with the way the fish was cleaned and packed, all ready for cooking.  Our extra large barramundi's flesh was tender 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."

- Mrs Retnam, Sennett Estate

"They (daughters aged 6 and 4) finished most of the fish, especially the sea bass. They said it is very fresh. They are very particular about freshness. That's why I have to go marketing for fish early morning and they only eat some when bought from the market."

 - Christina, who cooked the fish after freezing it for 3 days

"My son says: when chefs say fresh fish must smell like the sea, I wondered what they were talking about - now I know!" 

"Fresh and inviting"

 - Jeanne Yap, East Coast

“D12 (i.e. day 12) sea bass – steamed.  Excellent!  Kids loved it.  No fishy smell, still very tender, like recent buy from market though not as silky as D1 (day 1).  Of course there may be slight difference in terms of length of cooking.”

- Ms J.Ho, Jalan Pemimpin, on cooking The Sampan Catch sea bass after freezing it for 12 days
