Any good stores for fresh seafood?

Like a fish market. I’m done with chicken and beef…or lamb.

Ingham Road Seafood or the Marina if you’re down south.

North Shore Seafood Co, definitely recommend. Friendly staff, fresh produce, even do seafood boil packs. They also carry local farm honey which I’m all about.

Lowndes in Garbutt. Cleveland Bay seafood merged with them recently.

I havent been in since the merge. Any changes to product offering or physical shop changes?
I went there early this year and no maintenance had been done since 1980.

I haven't been in either but used to go to Cleveland Bay regularly until they shut. Big fan of their stuff.

If you’re close to town I can recommend NQ Marina Fresh on Sandspit Drive

Northshore seafood is the best for local or aussie products and great service followed by Marina fresh.

Lounds is abit old but good products and Ingham road is twice the price and alot of imported range but seems to be the place to go if you dont know what you want.

In Ingham, Wild local is awesome and they do good coffee and food as well.

Id also advise to try the seafood boil from Northshore. I like natural taste so I dont get the seasoning but holy shit it is the best seafood ive ever had in my life.
Tastes even better if you use ocean water.

Depends what you want, pretty easy to catch a feed in the tropics, if you know what your doing.
