A genuinely changing range

Fresh seafood follows the water, not a fixed catalogue.

Fresh seafood depends on what has been caught, landed, harvested and sent to market. Species, sizes and fishing regions change with the seasons, catches, weather and availability.

Instead of limiting the cabinet to the same handful of familiar species, we actively look for quality seafood from across Australia. On any given day, the range may include local estuary fish, offshore species, northern reef fish, southern cold-water fish, wild prawns, crabs, oysters, squid, octopus and specialty lines that appear for only a short part of the season.

The complete fresh range is available in-store, while selected fixed-price packs and current specials may also be ordered online for pickup.

From today’s catch to your next great meal.

Availability changes every day. These categories show the breadth of what you may find—not a fixed stock list.

Prawns

Our prawn selection changes according to season, catch and availability, with a strong focus on quality Australian wild-caught product.

The range may include king prawns, school prawns, banana prawns, tiger prawns and other seasonal varieties in different grades and sizes. We regularly source prawns from Yamba and other recognised Australian fishing regions, including product supplied through fishing and seafood businesses we know and trust.

Choose cooked prawns ready to serve, green prawns for the barbecue or kitchen, or ask our team about bulk quantities, seafood platters and special occasions.

The best way to experience the changing market

Whole fish

Our whole-fish display follows the seasons and may feature locally caught estuary fish, offshore species, reef fish and premium seafood from fishing regions around Australia.

Buying whole fish provides excellent flexibility and allows you to see the species in its natural form before it is prepared. Tell us how many people you are feeding and how you plan to cook it—our experienced team can recommend a fish and prepare it to suit.

House-smoked seafood

Alongside our fresh seafood range, we produce a changing selection of house-smoked seafood using carefully selected fish, prawns and seasonal products from the counter.

Products may include hot-smoked and cold-smoked fish, smoked salmon, smoked prawns and small-batch specialties developed by the Naeco team. The range changes according to what is available and what we are producing that week.

Enjoy them ready to eat, add them to a seafood platter, or use them in salads, entertaining and simple meals at home. Ask our team what has recently come out of the smoker.

From the cabinet to the kitchen

Choose fresh fish and have us cook it.

Selected fish from the fresh display can be prepared through our takeaway kitchen for an additional cooking charge. Depending on the species, choose battered, crumbed, grilled or seasoned.

It is an easy way to explore beyond standard fish and chips while knowing exactly which species you are eating.

Provenance matters

Where seafood comes from is part of its story.

We source through local and regional fishers, co-operatives, growers, Australian aquaculture producers and trusted seafood suppliers. Our displays identify the species, country of origin and relevant fishing or growing region wherever possible.

Premium Australian frozen seafood

Frozen at its best—not treated as second best.

Quality frozen seafood is an important part of a complete seafood range. Some products are frozen close to harvest, make excellent seafood available outside its short season and provide a practical way to keep quality options at home.

Our extensive frozen range is selected for quality, provenance, convenience and value. It may include Australian prawns, lobster, bugs, scallops, squid, octopus, fish portions and specialty products for family meals, entertaining and filling the freezer.

Products are clearly labelled with species, country of origin and pack information. Our team can help you combine something fresh for tonight with premium frozen seafood for later.
