A surprising number of regular customers don’t realize how much time they could be saving with a few simple habits. Here’s how to make the most of Shuang Hur’s counter services.
Calling Ahead for Live Seafood
Live crab and lobster move quickly, especially around weekends and holidays. Calling ahead to reserve a specific quantity means you’re not left choosing between what’s left in the tank or making a second trip. For larger orders — a dozen crabs for a family gathering, for instance — a day or two of notice gives the seafood counter time to make sure enough is on hand and ready to prepare.
What the Counter Can Prep for You
Staff at both the seafood and meat counters can clean, portion, and prepare orders on request — cleaning a whole fish for steaming, slicing beef thin for hot pot, or portioning a large cut into family-sized packages. This service is available to any customer, not just large orders, and it’s one of the fastest ways to save prep time at home.
Timing Your Visit Around Restock Days
Produce and seafood are typically restocked toward the end of the week, so shopping on a Friday or Saturday generally means the widest and freshest selection. If a specific item is important for a recipe, it’s worth asking staff which day it’s usually restocked.
Planning Ahead for Events
For anyone hosting a holiday meal, birthday, or larger gathering, placing an order a few days ahead is the single best way to guarantee availability of live seafood or a specific cut of meat rather than hoping it’s in stock the day of. Staff are used to these requests and can advise on quantities for a given number of guests.
