CULFISHERY - order your seafood via WhatsApp!

Before the Covid-19 pandemic and MCO, when life was normal, I’ve always bought my seafood at the wet market and sometimes, at the supermarket.

Now, since the MCO was enforced in March, most people, including me, have resorted to online purchases for groceries and fresh food. I’ve always been very particular about seafood – they must be absolutely fresh.

Fisheries and seafood retailers have also learned a new business norm – sell or auction online! One of these enterprises is CHONG U LONG FISHERY aka CULFISHERY.

Recently, I tried their offerings and had a selection of seafood delivered to my house. The styrofoam cooler box came filled with Silver Pomfret, Black Pomfret, Ikan Senangin (Threadfin), White Snapper, Asari (Japanese) Clams, Frozen Squids and Medium-sized Prawns. All the fish had been cleaned, gutted and vacuum-packed. So, all I had to to was just to store them in my freezer until cooking time! How clean and convenient!

I have cooked some of the seafood and I must say the freshness was excellent. We had some of the prawns for hotpot where we could really savour the natural sweetness and succulent texture. We had Steamed Silver Pomfret and Sweet & Sour Black Pomfret and they were all good.
