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!

We did not receive any communication from the restaurant, despite our attempts to call them on every available phone number and report them through online contacts and social media platforms. We are still waiting for a response.

In addition, they did not answer any calls and were unwilling to allow us to purchase something else. The only communication we received was after all the shops were closed on Christmas Eve. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable. It seems that while hundreds of people were left without their meals, the owners probably sat down to a beautiful feast. I would not recommend buying from them again.
