Fishmonger Visiting S.E.A. Aquarium Shares Ways To Cook The Fish There
Being one of the world’s largest aquariums, it’s little wonder why people flock to S.E.A. Aquarium to see its myriad of aquatic creatures.
According to Resorts World Sentosa, it houses over 100,000 marine animals across more than 40 diverse habitats.
However, to one man, most of them are simply the catch of the day.

When Pan, a fishmonger, visited S.E.A Aquarium with his family, he put his job experience to good use by sharing how to cook various types of fish there.
As a bonus, he even listed each species’ market price per kilogram.
Fishmonger says all the fish in S.E.A. Aquarium look fresh
The tongue-in-cheek post was shared by Pan to Market Fresh’s Facebook page.
For context, Market Fresh is an online wet market co-founded by Pan in 2017, according to the company website.
Captioned ‘What happens when a fishmonger visits the S.E.A. Aquarium’, the post features over a dozen aquatic species with ways to cook them and market prices.
In revealing his son’s wish to be a marine biologist, Pan cheekily adds that the preservation of aquatic creatures is not high on a fishmonger’s agenda.

While most S.E.A Aquarium visitors compliment the stunning displays, Pan remarked that the fish there looked “so fresh”.

Fishmonger questions who would eat moray eels
Pan also came across moray eels, which he claimed he has seen in wet markets before.

However, he was unsure as to who would actually consume these peculiar-looking creatures.
This prompted a few commenters to chime in with how the moray eels can be served.
One of them said they had seen moray eels being sold for S$22/kg in a wholesale market and that it was usually used to make unagi dishes.

He also gave his two cents on a colony of tiny garden eels.
The fish, which look like plants sprouting out of soil, are commonly fried and cooked in soup in China, according to Pan.
Jellyfish said to be good for rojak
Jellyfish usually enchant those who lay eyes on them due to their ethereal appearance.

To Pan, however, he sees them as the perfect fish for rojak.

This assessment led to some confusion from netizens, who asked whether rojak is truly eaten with jellyfish.

As a tip to determine whether a sea cucumber is fresh, Pan shared that they should look like poop. An unflattering comparison, but perhaps a valuable one.
