One of the four king fish in Singapore, it is popular among all ages and even more so during the Chinese New Year celebrations due to its auspicious red colour and due to how excellent it is for steaming due to its firm and bouncy meat.
For a more affordable option, Emperor Red Snapper would be our top recommendation for steaming.
Please specify the type of cut you want and we will do so for you e.g.: butterfly, descaling & degutting.
Great value for money, tail is 'less valuable' than fillets simply because demand is not as high compared to fillets that are softer and boneless, but for experienced chefs, tails are very worth the purchase!
