Fresh Threadfin Whole/ Fillet/ Steak (250 - 500g)
Key Information
Baby Threadfin refers to the younger, smaller-sized Chinese Threadfin (午鱼 / Ngor Her). It is extremely popular in Singapore due to its ultra-tender texture, sweet delicate flavour, and high nutritional value. Because the flesh is much softer and easier to digest, baby threadfin is widely considered one of the best fishes for babies, toddlers, and post-partum mothers.
Balai Threadfin is a highly prized saltwater fish known for its delicate flavour, soft flaky flesh, and exceptional nutritional value. In Singapore, it is especially popular among families because of its gentle taste and easy digestibility.
Balai Threadfin has a naturally sweet, savoury, and clean-tasting profile. Nutritionally, it is packed with omega-3 fatty acids for brain and heart health, lean protein for muscle repair, and micronutrients like selenium, iodine, B vitamins, and vitamin D.
