Ban Tong Seafood is a seafood restaurant at 378 Clementi Avenue 5 in Clementi, Singapore, holding a 4.2 Google rating.
The first thing a seafood regular checks is the tank: live fish and crabs moving on the day usually mean the kitchen turns stock over quickly. Steamed fish is the honesty test, since freshness needs little more than ginger, spring onion and good timing, while crabs and prawns take happily to richer treatments such as chilli, black pepper, cereal or sambal. Meals are built for sharing — one crab, one fish and a vegetable with rice will feed a small table better than everyone picking a single main. Heartland seafood places fill quickly on weekend evenings, which is why locals book ahead or arrive early.
Ban Tong Seafood sits in the middle of it on Clementi Avenue 5, an easy call for a shared seafood dinner in Clementi.
