As the first customers of the day stream into a supermarket in Singapore, the seafood section bustles with activity. A spread of freshly caught fish and shellfish glistens on crushed ice – plump pomfret, gleaming squid and glossy red prawns, delivered just hours earlier from across the Causeway. The faint scent of the sea mingles with the cool air as shoppers examine the day’s catch and make their picks, which are then cleaned, trimmed and portioned as requested.
