My former classmate's husband started a business, Eating-Crabs.com, to deliver fresh, cleaned crabs right to your doorstep last year, and the idea has since expanded to having a stall in the wet market, as well as an expanded list of seafood.
I always wanted to check out the stall but didn't quite find the right time since the hours I am awake are always fluctuating.
2 days ago, they posted the promotion for fresh stingray, and since my hours seem to coordinate with Singapore time, I decided to take the opportunity to get my craving satisfied, and go have a look at their stall.
When dad and I got there by 10am, the stall was already quite empty. They still had a nice selection of rather plump-looking flower crabs, clean mussels and clams. Sadly, all the mud crabs I was hoping to have a look at were all sold out, and I left with only the stingray that I booked.
The thing about stingray is that when it is not prepared right, or when it is not fresh, it stinks of ammonia. This pack of stingray didn't stink of ammonia, nor did it have any fishy smell. The pieces were all thick and meaty, not like the scrappy pieces that are usually packed and on sale. At $12 for one kilogram, it would be considered cheap, especially since you would pay that price for a sad piece of of stingray that would not be enough for one person. This amount would feed the three of us for at least 2 meals.
Seriously, if you crave sweet seafood, or want to have a big feast but can't be bothered with the cleaning and with carrying it all back from the market, let them deliver it right to your doorstep ready to be thrown into the cooking pot. More updates through their Facebook and Instagram accounts too.
