Big Fish Small Fish Review: Fish And Chips With A Variety Of Sauces At $6.90 Nett At Punggol

And they have a good reason to scream for your attention: this container eatery offers one of the most value-for-money fish and chips in Singapore. Just as their name hints, they serve a variety of fish, including Dory ($6.90) , Seabass ($11.90) , and Salmon ($12.90) fish and chips .

Their menu also includes interesting add-ons such as Fish Fries ($7.90+) , XO Shrimps ($7.90+) , as well as Fried Snickers ($6.90+) for dessert! Food at Big Fish Small Fish Big Fish Small Fish has a counter where you can help yourself to all the sauces available, including cheese, salted egg, and XO sauces.

For our main dish, we decided to go ahead with the cheapest – Dory ($6.90) . Besides the huge and chunky fish fillet, the paper cone we got was also filled with a large portion of thinly cut potato crisps. Even if the dish was too greasy for my liking, the chefs managed to strike a good balance between the fish’s crispy batter and its tender flesh.

The well-seasoned fillet was also tasty and the sauces hardly came in handy for this one. With the different sauces, every bite carried a different flavour and for that, we were glad the crisps were not as heavily seasoned as we initially forecast them to be.

For our sides, we could not resist ordering their Salted Egg Calamari with Bonito Flakes ($7.90) . When the dish was first served, we were wowed by the savoury aroma of the bonito flakes and the huge calamari rings.

It in addition did not have the usual chewy and springy texture of fried calamari and every bite was a clean snap. We as well had a go at their XO shrimps ($7.90) .

Though we were determined to not be deceived by looks, the taste itself was hardly impressive too. It was also disappointing to find that half the bowl was filled with coleslaw soaked in sauce and the entire dish comprised barely 10 small shrimps. Compared to the fish and chips, this side was more costly yet much smaller in portion.

Ambience at Big Fish Small Fish Like the other six eateries at Punggol East Container Park, Big Fish Small Fish is entirely self-serviced. While the air-conditioned interior of the container cafe was cosy and reminded me of scenes from Riverdale , we were bothered by the greasy smell that wafted out from the kitchen. Though we were there on a relatively quiet weekday afternoon, we had to wait close to 25 minutes before the food was served.

Besides being affordable, the dish is also served in a paper cone that you can easily carry around while checking out other eateries in the container park. For more affordable fish and chips, check out our list of cheap fish and chips in Singapore.
