Upon entering the storefront, I was hit with an extremely peculiar smell. Not one of fresh fish, but of a perfume covering an odor.

The salmon looked amazing, and they have an interesting selection of gourmet food ranging from meat and cheese to olives and spreads. However none of their meat or fish seemed fresh on Sunday, as everything was vacuum packed or frozen. The fish selection looked better than the meat (as the store name would imply), though the fish selection was small given its namesake. Honestly, the meat quality seemed subpar, so I d probably buy my meat from one of the local butchers instead.

The store was cramped and service very slow. Possibly worth a look if you re looking for gourmet ingredients in the botanic gardens area, but I think there are better destinations in Singapore for fresh meats, cheese and fish.
