Something wildly different is taking over the supermarket floor — and it’s not your usual grocery run.
A massive whole tuna. Expert chefs with razor-sharp knives. Crowds gathering, phones out, eyes locked in. The kind of spectacle you’d expect at Tokyo’s famous Tsukiji Fish Market — except it’s happening right here in Singapore.
At FairPrice Xtra Parkway Parade on 25 April (10.30am – 12.30pm), shoppers can catch a 50kg premium Bluefin tuna being expertly carved on the spot. It’s not something you see every day—chefs work through the entire fish with precision, breaking it down into prized sections right in front of a growing crowd.
The moment the fish is sliced, it doesn’t sit around.
Fresh cuts are made available almost immediately after, including rare sashimi-grade portions like kamatoro (fatty collar), noten (top of the head), and hohoniku (cheek). These are typically the kind of selections you’d expect at higher-end Japanese dining spots, but here, they’re served straight from the source—while stocks last.
Around the cutting area, the setup expands into a full seafood spread, featuring a variety of sashimi-grade options alongside popular picks for everyday meals. Many shoppers end up staying longer than planned, comparing cuts and deciding what to bring home while the selection is at its freshest.
Then it turns into something straight out of Tokyo’s Tsukiji market. And here’s where things get fun. Auction-style seafood deals roll out with rapid-fire calls, shifting prices, and shoppers jumping in to lock down the best cuts. Blink and it’s gone—miss a moment, miss the deal.
You don’t get to see events like this often. If you’ve ever been curious about how a whole tuna is prepared, or you just want to get your hands on ultra-fresh sashimi at event-only prices, this is your moment. Come early, stay for the show, and be ready to move when the best cuts drop.
