Chinese New Year FAQ

As you may already know, Chinese New Year is the season for fish, which also translates to our busiest period! We have already started receiving orders, requests, queries on what fishes to get, what our delivery schedule looks like, when the prices will surge and how much the price surges would be, when is the ideal period to order fish and more! 

Here are the answers to your questions:

1) What are the fishes that will have a price surge?

A: Wild-Caught fish will definitely go up in price, while the fishes that have the highest demand will surge. Red Grouper & Chinese Pomfret (up to 100%+ surge), farmed fishes (baby threadfin, sea bass, red snapper, jiu lor, golden pomfret) will not have an increase in price, imported fish (salmon, cod, saba) will not have an increase in price, wild-caught Malaysian fish (golden snapper, flower grouper, ang go li, kee yu, yellowtail fish, black pomfret, emperor red snapper, black grouper, batang) may have an increase of up to 20% at most. Prawns, shellfish and other seafood may have an increase of up to 10% at most.

2) How do I know what the prices will be like if I order now? 

A: For this season where prices will be volatile, we have listed prices as the highest they can be for the entire month of January. They are accompanied by a price range, and prices may be lower on the day of delivery the farther it is from Chinese New Year.

3) When is the ideal period to order fish for Chinese New Year? 

A: The ideal period would be from 7-26 Jan, as that is when supply is at its highest in terms of quantity and quality, and if we vacuum seal the fish, they can be kept for up to 1 month with no dip in quality, and 2 months with minimal dip in quality. 

4) When is the last day of deliveries for Chinese New Year?

A: It will be 26 January 2025. 

5) When will you reopen and resume deliveries? 

A: We will most likely reopen and resume deliveries from 16 Feb 2025 onwards. 

6) Can I order for a specific date in February?

A: You may notice that the furthest date to order is one week from the present date, and that is because prices are extremely volatile and we need to update them weekly. If you would like to order for a specific date in advance or have questions about the prices, please direct them to us via WhatsApp +65 96745776 Xavier
