For many locals and tourists alike, Chili Crab is a die-die-must-try when in Singapore. It’s tangy, spicy, and hits all the right spots. This food paradise we call home is no stranger to many other succulent crab options, like chilli crabs, black pepper crabs and salted egg crabs. Now, what if I told you that you can get crab delivery to your home, for your next occasion? Win!
With so many delivery services out there, we’ve done the legwork of shortlisting some of the most clawsome places in Singapore. Read on to find out the 10 Best Crab Deliveries In Singapore for your next party or gathering.
1. JUMBO Seafood
JUMBO Seafood has earned its ranks in the local restaurant scene since its humble beginnings in 1987 at East Coast Seafood Centre. With outlets in Singapore, China and other parts of Asia, JUMBO brings the iconic Singapore chili crab to the global stage.
With a reputation for serving only the freshest seafood cooked to perfection, we’d definitely recommend the JUMBO Award-Winning Chilli Crab (from $108, 800g) that has captured the hearts of local and overseas gastronomes, with a gravy that boasts a stronger tomato taste than most. More reason to lap up all that saucy goodness with a delicious man too, am I right?
2. No Signboard Seafood Restaurant
Unlike most places that specialise in chili crab, No Signboard Seafood Restaurant is known for their Signature White Pepper Crab (from $96.30, 800-900g), which was what put them on the map back in the ’70s. The White Pepper Crab was invented by their founder, Mdm Ong Kim Hoi, and the recipe remains a well-guarded secret until today.
Besides a selection of Sri Lankan mud crabs that are commonly offered by many restaurants for its affordability, No Signboard Seafood Restaurant seeks to impress with variants such as the legendary Alaskan King Crab (from $430.68) and Snow Crab (from $283.02). With islandwide delivery, you can even get it to delivered anywhere and everywhere.

3. Sum Kee Food
Another family-favourite is Sum Kee Food, a tze char stall that serves a variety of classic tze char dishes as well as their own unique take on local food. Besides their famous Curry Fish Head ($40), they also offer a selection of crabs larger than most stalls would, and you get to choose from three sizes, small, medium, and large (approx. range 900g to 1.1kg).
Hosting a family gathering soon? Choose from their acclaimed Chilli Sauce Crab (from $68), Black Pepper Crab (from $110) and Steamed Crab (from $85). Not one to skimp on the quality of their food, expect fresh crabs that are liberally doused with signature sauces that cling to the sweet, fresh crab meat.
4. TungLok Seafood
Most locals would be familiar with TungLok Seafood. The established institution that’s touted as one of the best Chinese restaurants in Singapore.
Dig into their Black Pepper Crab with Fresh Peppercorn ($150.20/1.3kg) or their TungLok Chilli Crab (S$83.50/kg). If you prefer a spicier kick, opt for the latter. But if you’re fond of sweeter variations stick to the latter, drenched in sweet, sour and slightly spicy mix of orange juice and tomato sauce. Drooling already?
5. Dancing Crab
Hosting a #StayHome crab delivery dinner feast? Get your hands dirty with Dancing Crab’s Live Crab Combo ($137) for 2 to 4. Sets come with 1 Crab and other exciting side dishes on their menu. Add a touch of luxe with their Live Lobster Roll with Cajun Fries for 1 to 2 persons ($60.80) among other things.
If you’re all about local flavours, opt for their Singapore-style crabs – Chilli Crab Bread Bowl ($137) and Black Pepper Crab ($137), both of which are good for 2 to 4 persons.
6. The Boiler Seafood Bar & Beer
The Boiler Seafood Bar & Beer has a similar concept to Dancing Crab, where a delicious spread of seafood is poured onto the table for sharing. Messy? Maybe. But nevertheless, this is a delicious and fun communal way to share your food with friends and family.
Switch things up for your next family meal with their Boiler’s Bombdiggity Bag ($179). Each bundle comes with a smorgasbord of seafood, including prawns, mussels and clams.

7. Majestic Bay Seafood Restaurant

The seafood house combines new innovations and classic favourites. We’d recommend their unique creations such as Crab in Salted Egg Yolk Puree Sauce ($98) and their Crab in Coffee Sauce ($88). For a safe yet delectable option, go for the Crab in Singapore Chilli Sauce ($88). Comes with everyone’s favourite mantou (deep-fried buns) too!
8. Famous Treasure
Famous Treasure has built up a solid reputation in the Chinese restaurant scene since 2018. Since then, they have already gained quite a large following with their expertise in cuisines from Teochew, Hokkien and Cantonese cultures.
Try their Live Sri Lanka Crab available in three classic styles. Go for the Chilli Crab (from $112), Black Pepper Crab (from $112), or Salted Egg Yolk Crab (from $112). For something more budget-friendly, opt for their Baked Flower Crab with Rock Salt (from $56) instead. Crab delivery to the rescue!
