Which seafood promotions are actually still running in October 2026?+
Four with a date on them and four that run all year. Dated: JUMBO's 50% off Alaskan Crab at every JUMBO Seafood outlet, dine-in and takeaway, to 31 October; TungLok Signatures' one iconic dish at 50% off daily for TungLokFirst members, extended to 31 October; Dancing Crab's free #2 Combo Bag worth $60++ on a $200 spend, extended to 1 November; and Dancing Crab's happy hour, to 31 October. Year-round: House of Seafood's birthday waiver, Long Beach's Executive Set Lunch, Fish & Co's weekday lunch sets and takeaway discount, and Greenwood Fish Market's $2.50++ oyster bar and weekday themed nights. Red House Seafood's 50th Anniversary specials, including live crab at $98++ per kg, are still listed with no end date. What ended on 30 September: Red House's 50% off weekday dim sum, and every JUMBO East Coast farewell offer, because the outlet itself closed that day.
Has JUMBO Seafood East Coast closed?+
Yes. JUMBO Seafood's East Coast Seafood Centre outlet, the original, trading since 1987, CLOSED FOR GOOD ON 30 SEPTEMBER 2026, when its lease expired and NParks took the site back as part of its longer-term plan for East Coast Park. The outlet accounted for roughly 14% of Jumbo Group's revenue in FY2025 and there is no replacement East Coast site. All of its farewell offers, including the $39 Half Australian Lobster and the $39 e-vouchers, ended with it. JUMBO Seafood still operates at Riverside Point, Dempsey Hill, ION Orchard, Jewel Changi Airport and The Riverwalk, and all of them are running 50% off Alaskan Crab, dine-in and takeaway, to 31 October 2026. If it was the East Coast weekday lunch discount you used, Dempsey Hill is now the only outlet offering it. Long Beach Seafood's UDMC outlet at the same centre moved rather than closed: it has reopened as Long Beach @ Coastal PlayGrove, 902 East Coast Parkway, about an eight-minute drive away, with opening lunch sets for two or three from $86++.
What is the cheapest way to eat crab in Singapore in October 2026?+
It depends on whether you want a whole crab or just the flavour. FOR A WHOLE MUD CRAB, the cheapest published live crab in this guide is Red House Seafood's 50th Anniversary special at $98++ PER KG at Grand Copthorne Waterfront, cooked Singapore Chilli, Signature Nanyang Style or Black Pepper; confirm the price when you book, since the restaurant sells it while stocks last. FOR KING CRAB, JUMBO's 50% off Alaskan Crab at every JUMBO Seafood outlet, dine-in and takeaway, to 31 October, is the deepest discount on this list. Greenwood Fish Market offers a cheaper species: SNOW CRAB LEGS AT $49.95++ PER 500G on Crustacean Thursdays, or $99.95++ per kg, in chilli crab or black pepper style among others. FOR CRAB WITHOUT THE WHOLE CRAB, Dancing Crab's weekday lunch sets include a CRAB FRIED RICE at $19++, and with the second set at 50% off a pair of you eats for about $14 a head. FOR A LIVE CRAB AT LUNCH, Long Beach's new Coastal PlayGrove outlet serves live flower crab congee in its $86++ opening set for two or three, about $29++ a head shared by three. FOR A GROUP, Dancing Crab's free #2 Combo Bag on a $200 spend, now to 1 November, works out at roughly 23% back on the bill. AND IF SOMEONE AT THE TABLE HAS AN OCTOBER BIRTHDAY, House of Seafood's waiver of the celebrant's share is usually the biggest saving of the lot: on a $280 bill for four, that is $70 off, and House of Seafood's signatures are chilli crab and black pepper crab.
Which chilli crab promotions are running in Singapore in October 2026?+
Fewer than search results suggest, because the best-known ones have ended: JUMBO's $24 Chilli Crab Meat Sauce on Garlic Fried Rice finished on 31 August 2026, the JUMBO East Coast $39++ mud crab on 31 July, and the East Coast outlet itself closed on 30 September. Here is what is live, checked on each restaurant's own site on 19 October 2026. TUNGLOK CHILLI CRAB is one of the signatures in TungLok Signatures' daily 50%-off rotation for TungLokFirst members (free to join), dine-in at Clarke Quay Central and Orchard Rendezvous Hotel only, now to 31 October. The half-price dish changes every day, so ask which day the chilli crab falls on before you book. RED HOUSE SEAFOOD prices live crab at $98++ PER KG, cooked Singapore Chilli, Signature Nanyang Style or Black Pepper, as a 50th Anniversary special at Grand Copthorne Waterfront, while stocks last. GREENWOOD FISH MARKET will cook its Crustacean Thursdays snow crab legs, $49.95++ per 500g, chilli crab style, at both outlets. For a group with an October birthday, HOUSE OF SEAFOOD in Punggol, whose signatures are chilli crab and black pepper crab, waives the celebrant's share of the bill (minimum four diners, reservation required). JUMBO has no chilli-crab-specific offer this month: its headline is 50% off Alaskan Crab, to 31 October.
Where can I still eat cheap oysters now that the World Oyster Festival has ended?+
At the same restaurant, for the same price. Greenwood Fish Market's 14th World Oyster Festival closed on 31 August 2026 after its extension, but the $2.50++ OYSTER BAR IS A SEPARATE, PERMANENT OFFER and is unaffected. HOUSE OYSTERS ARE $2.50++ A PIECE at the eight-seater live oyster bar at QUAYSIDE ISLE, SENTOSA, ALL DAY, EVERY DAY. There are no mains to order and no minimum spend, only a minimum of one drink per person. It is walk-in only with limited counter seats, first-come first-served, so go early or off-peak. If you would rather sit at a table, OYSTER TUESDAYS runs at BOTH outlets, Bukit Timah and Quayside Isle, and gives you House Oysters at $2.50++ a piece or A LA CARTE OYSTERS AT 20% OFF, with unlimited orders for every main course ordered per person. Greenwood's own Oyster Tuesdays page still carries a line saying it cannot be combined with the 14th World Oyster Festival, but with the festival finished that restriction no longer bites. Red House Seafood also has GRILLED OYSTERS WITH GARLIC SAUCE AT $6++ EACH in its 50th Anniversary specials at Grand Copthorne Waterfront, if you want them cooked rather than raw.
Which Fish & Co promotion or membership actually saves the most?+
It depends on the day and whether you are eating in. FOR DINE-IN ON A WEEKDAY, the lunch sets are the cheapest thing on this entire list: from $10.95 with over 20 mains, each including a drink, salad and paella rice, Monday to Friday until 5pm, plus 20% off starters and salads. They are not available at Coast & Roast Paragon, Woodleigh Mall, AMK Hub or New Tech Park. FOR TAKEAWAY ON A WEEKDAY, the plain Weekday Takeaway Promotion wins and needs no card at all: 30% off regular-priced à la carte items from 3pm to 5pm, 20% from 5pm to 6pm, Monday to Friday. ON A SATURDAY OR SUNDAY that promotion does not run, and a PAssion card becomes the best option: 20% off the total bill on takeaway, all day, any day of the week, valid till 31 December 2026. FOR DINE-IN OTHERWISE, the strongest is the PAssion Silver 1-for-1, Monday to Wednesday between 11am and 6pm, with the complimentary item of the same or lower value and broth pots and platters excluded; otherwise PAssion takes 10% off dine-in Monday to Friday, and SAFRA members or servicemen with an 11B take 10% off the sub-total any day. Fishy Rewards, the free membership at fishandco.sgmembers.com, earns points and stamps rather than an instant discount, so it is a slow burn rather than a saving on today's bill. Three rules apply to all of them: none stack with each other, none are valid on the eve of a public holiday or on one, and none work at Coast & Roast Paragon.
What Dancing Crab promotions are running in Singapore right now?+
Three, and the big one has just been extended. THE SPEND-$200 OFFER NOW RUNS TO 1 NOVEMBER 2026, a month longer than first announced: spend $200 before service charge and GST on food and non-alcoholic drinks and the #2 COMBO BAG WORTH $60++ is free, with 350g prawns, 500g Hamaguri clams, four half-shell scallops, corn and Arabiki chicken sausage. It is dine-in only at ORCHARD CENTRAL AND VIVOCITY, one bag per table per bill, while stocks last, no TL$ earned or redeemed on that bill, and banquets of more than 30 people are excluded. THE WEEKDAY LUNCH SETS STARTED ON 25 AUGUST 2026 AND HAVE NO PUBLISHED END DATE: four sets at $19++ built around Stuffed Beignets, Fish Sandwich, Crab Fried Rice and Pan-Seared Seabass, each with a side such as clam chowder, Cajun fries, cocktail shrimp salad or cioppino stew plus lemonade or iced tea, and ORDER TWO AND THE SECOND IS HALF PRICE, which brings a table of four to about $14 a head before service charge and GST. Dine-in, Monday to Friday lunch, not on public holidays or their eves. HAPPY HOUR RUNS TO 31 OCTOBER 2026: bottled beers and signature cocktails FROM $7, plus 50% off selected savoury bar snacks when you order any bottle from the Happy Hour list.
Do these prices include GST and service charge?+
Mostly no. Prices marked ++ (such as $61.20++, $98++, $59.95++, $49.95++, $2.50++ and $60++) are before both the 10% service charge and prevailing GST, so the amount you actually pay is roughly 19% higher. A $59.95++ Boston lobster lands near $71 all in, and a $2.50++ oyster is about $2.98. JUMBO's per-100g and per-piece prices on its Chef's Recommendations menu, and its 50% off Alaskan Crab, are also subject to service charge and prevailing GST, as JUMBO's own terms state. The clear exception on this list is Fish & Co's Punch Bowl range at $16.60 and $18.80, which the restaurant prices as nett, with nothing added on top; Fish & Co's $10.95 lunch sets, by contrast, are stated as excluding GST and service charge. When you are comparing options here, compare like with like: the Fish & Co nett prices are closer to their ++ equivalents than they first look.
When is the best time to eat crab in Singapore?+
For price rather than season, the weekday lunch sitting beats the month you pick. There is no local crab season the way there is a durian season: the mud crab on the menu is overwhelmingly imported live from Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Malaysia and held in tanks, so the price moves with the source country's weather and with festive demand rather than with a Singapore harvest. In practice prices firm up around Chinese New Year and the year-end holidays, and the cheap windows are promotional ones. Within any given week, weekday lunch is consistently the cheaper sitting, which is why so many of the offers here are built around it: Long Beach's Executive Set Lunch, Dancing Crab's $19++ weekday lunch sets, Fish & Co's $10.95 lunch sets and JUMBO's weekday lunch discount at Dempsey all exist for exactly that reason. Greenwood goes one better and prices by the day of the week, with lobster cheapest on Mondays, oysters on Tuesdays, sashimi on Wednesdays and snow crab legs on Thursdays. AUGUST IS THE ONE MONTH THAT REALLY IS CHEAPER, because National Day pushes the seafood houses into promotion mode, which is also why several of the offers in this guide expired on 30 or 31 August.
