From 1 to 30 September 2024, Singapore’s food scene is set to sizzle this September as the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI) partners with six of the city’s top dining establishments to celebrate the unparalleled quality of wild-caught Alaska seafood. This exclusive month-long collaboration, coinciding with Seafood Expo Asia, will highlight the unique flavors, sustainability, and nutritional benefits of seafood harvested from the pristine waters of Alaska.

Discerning diners in Singapore can embark on a culinary journey across six renowned restaurants — POPI’S at Mandala Club, Man Fu Yuan at the InterContinental Singapore, 15 Stamford at The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore, Morsels, Sanctuary Tearoom at Amara Sanctuary Sentosa, and UMMI Beirut. Where each establishment will feature specially crafted dishes that showcase the rich flavors and exceptional quality of Alaska’s wild seafood, bringing a taste of the North Pacific to the Lion City.

Why Alaska Seafood?

Alaska is home to over 3 million lakes and 34,000 miles of coastline, providing one of the world’s most pristine environments for seafood. The fish from these waters are renowned for their purity, taste, and nutritional value. Wild Alaska seafood is additive-free and rich in omega-3 fatty acids, offering health benefits such as reducing inflammation and supporting heart health. The fish’s natural diet of marine organisms during their migration through the cold North Pacific waters enhances their flavor, color, and texture, making them a prized ingredient in fine dining.
