The Catch Today

What's in the cases changes with what's running. Here's what regulars come back for.

Fresh from the Water

These are the catches guests ask for by name. Stock varies with the season and the day's haul.

  • Rock Lobster (Crayfish)

    Live from the tank or cooked fresh on ice -- priced keener than anywhere else on the island.

  • Tiger and King Prawns

    Sweet, firm, and nothing like frozen -- available whole or ready to peel.

  • Natural Oysters

    Shucked fresh in the shop, sold by the dozen or half-dozen.

  • Gummy Shark (Flake)

    Local flake at its best -- off the boat and over the counter in days, not weeks.

  • Fresh Scallops

    White muscle and bright orange roe, available by the tray.

  • Calamari and Octopus

    Cleaned and prepped in-house, ready for the pan or the barbecue.

  • Snapper, Salmon, and Whole Fish

    Varies by the day -- ask the counter staff what came in this morning.

  • Pippies and Mussels

    Local shellfish sold by the bag, as fresh as it gets without catching them yourself.

Ready to Go

Prepared in-house for those who want great seafood without the prep work.

  • Cooked Prawns

    School and bay prawns cooked fresh, sold by the bag with dipping sauce.

  • Pickled Octopus

    A house-made favourite that turns up in a lot of shopping bags unplanned.

  • Thai Fish Cakes

    Made in-house with local fish, additive-free, available from the counter.

  • Additive-Free Condiments

    A rotating range of house-made sauces, marinades and seasonings for whatever you're cooking.
