Love your salmon sashimi but cringe at overspending at a sushi restaurant? Check out these 6 places that offer up your favourite fish for less
Salmon sashimi is one of those popular dishes in Singapore that everyone loves to eat. While it's easy to head out to a sushi restaurant to enjoy your favourite raw fish, it's also pricier – especially if you're thinking of ordering seconds or thirds!
That's why we've rounded up some convenient and affordable salmon sashimi options around the island (including that vending machine we all know about but probably haven't had the guts to use, yet). Check these out the next time you have a fishy craving.
You may have chanced upon these vending machines that dispense Norwegian salmon. They started off selling salmon for cooking, but have since expanded their product line to include sashimi-grade salmon. The salmon also comes vacuum sealed and frozen so you can store it in your freezer for a few months.
It gets bonus points for being available around the clock, perfect for if you realise you need more salmon than you have at home or have additional guests at the last minute.
