Prepared for you
Whole fish prepared the way you will cook it, crab dressed, oysters opened, and platters made up for the table. The knife work on any fish you buy here is free.

Prepared while you wait
Buy the whole fish and we do the knife work for nothing: gutted, scaled, filleted, boned, steaked or butterflied.
1
Pick it on the board
Point at the fish, or tell us the length you want. We weigh it in front of you.
2
Say how you will cook it
Grill, oven, pan or raw. That decides whether we leave it whole, cut steaks or fillet it.
3
We prepare it while you wait
Five to ten minutes for most fish. Heads and bones go in the bag for stock if you like.
Ordering ahead
How far ahead should I order?
For a whole fish, the day before or by 10:00 the same day. For platters, lobster and anything over 3 kg, two days ahead.
Can you keep a fish for me?
Yes. We keep it on ice with your name on it until closing time, prepared or whole.
What if the boats do not go out?
In bad weather we ring you the day before with what the market has instead, and you choose.
Do you deliver?
Within Springfield on Friday afternoons, packed in ice (sample). Ask when you order.
Platters for the table
Cooked lobster and crab, prawns, opened oysters, smoked salmon and the sauces, laid on ice on a tray you bring back. Order two days ahead.
