I for the first time bought seafood to take home cooked king prawns with tail on and large, Canadian scallops with no roe. So fresh and tasty... no photos sorry. They have a wide selection of seafood and the storage is clean and neat. Staff are super friendly and prices are comparable or sometimes cheaper than the supermarkets who do not always have the best quality seafood. Do yourself a favour and try them. They have oysters there to die for.

I had the half lobster with potato salad) and tobiko $25), as well as the 4 for $15...tuna tataki, hiramasa kingfish, prawn and potato salad, and soft shell crab roll. The half lobster shell is packed with potato salad, then cuts of the tail, tobiko, and orange is topped over it. It's good, but a little underseasoned. The other small pieces were bursting with flavour and right on. Everything was super fresh and tasty. Would visit again.

A dozen oysters for 20 AUS, if only I lived here I would probably move in next door. Also the most friendly staff, special thank you to...Angelo for letting us try some other dishes oysters, so kind! Also all sort of vinegars, sauces to with the seafood they sell, there are many different seafood choices, raw or cooked, but the oysters are the big winner! No oyster will ever measure up to this place ever again!

The owner even gave us some new, in-season small prawns to try out. I would highly recommend this shop to anyone visiting the market.
