Greenwood Fish Market And Bistro

5 Apr :: Sunday :: Evening

It has been a while since I last updated the blog. Due to increasing workload, I have not had much time to go out and enjoy… until yesterday.

 Brief Description

Greenwood Fish Market & Bistro provides seasonal fresh seafood served western style. Among the favourites are the oysters and salmon. Their staff are always on hand to recommend off-the-menu catch of the day and recommend ways how your food should be cooked.

 The food

I had the Hot Seafood Platter. On the menu, if I remember correctly, it was written that I would have a lobster, calamari, baby octopus salad, Littleneck clams, green-lipped mussles, oysters, fish baguette and grilled prawns. 

What I got was half a grilled lobster, Crab claw salad (substitute for the grilled prawns & octopus), Littleneck clams cooked in white wine garlic sauce, green-lipped mussles, grilled buttered oysters,  calamari and grilled fish skewers.

 Review

1) Lobster – The grilled lobster was fresh and succulent. The flesh is easy to remove and retains the original sweetness and juiciness.

2) Calamari – Greenwood Fish Market’s calamari is well-known. The calamari is cooked to the right degree, where the meat is cooked but not elastic. Tastes heavenly with the tartar sauce.

3) Crab claw salad – A cold dish which retains the sweetness of the crab claw. The salad is tossed with just the right amount of balsamic vinegar, making it a good companion to the cooked spread.

4) Littleneck clams & Greenlipped Mussles  - Nice

5) Buttered oysters – The oysters are cooked with shallots and was not overly buttery.

6) Grilled fish skewers – Assorted fish meat was used for the skewers. Some of the meat were a bit tough and a tad tasteless when eaten alone. But together with the capsicon and tartar sauce, was quite okay.

I’ve been here at least 4 times before. While the seafood is fresh, there’s always a sense of incompleteness in me after the meal.  The upside is that Greenwood Fish Market also serves desserts such as creme brulee. Do remember to share your food with your companions to leave room for desert.

There is no discount for dinner. For the hot platter, the bill comes to S$93/2 pax inclusive tax. Quite a good deal considering the lobster and crab claw.

 What to try

 For those who have yet to try out the food, there are discounts for lunches and daily specials such as $1 oysters on Tuesdays (with every main course ordered, limited to 12 per person, last I heard).
