IT KUHL
If you’re tired of
slopping through
wet markets to buy
fish from who-knows-
where, here’s a simple
and super-convenient
solution:
Kuhlbarra
sells sustainable, harvested-to-order barramundi that can be
ordered online and delivered right to your doorstep. Certified by
Singapore’s Good Aquaculture Practice programme, Kuhlbarra
harvests the Australian barrumundi right here in Singapore and
delivers ice-chilled, individually cut fillets (200 grams, $10) and
family-sized portions (1 kilogram, $25) to your home on the same
day to guarantee freshness and flavour; delivery is $15, or free for
orders over $50. The fish are antibiotic- and hormone-free, and
farmed in the clean waters surrounding Singapore’s southern
isles – in fact, the water’s tested every ten minutes by the Danish
Hydrological Institute, a trusted advisor of the Government of
Singapore. The fish, meanwhile, has been tested by the team
here at
EL
: the fillets are fresh and delicious. Plus, barramundi
is packed with heart-healthy and brain-boosting omega-3 and
omega-6 fatty acids, making it one of the most healthful fish
options around.
