Easter 2025

 

We are currently taking orders for Easter 2025!

 

Here are a few important details to keep in mind:

 

  • You can select pick up on Thursday 17th April or Good Friday 18th April. 
  • A minimum spend of $100 applies to all orders.
  • Although your card won’t be charged until we pack your order, payment details are required at the time of order placement. We do not accept cash for pre-orders. 
  • There are no packing or handling fees, and we don’t require a partial deposit.
  • Kindly note, we do not take online orders via our website for the Easter period. All orders should be placed over the phone or in-store. 
  • We’ll have an express pick-up line in front of the shop on both collection days to ensure a smooth and quick process.

 

Each year we take as many orders as we can, however we usually reach capacity by mid November, so get in quick to avoid disappointment.

What will you have in stock?
Over the Easter period, we will have an abundant supply of Wild Caught King Prawns (from South Australia), Farmed Tiger Prawns (QLD), Sydney Rock Oysters (opened and unopened), Bugs, Blue Swimmer Crabs, Rock Lobsters and Fresh fish + condiments and more. 

Will you have School Prawns?
Maybe! School Prawns are a bit of a wild card—they depend on the weather and even the moon! We won’t know until the morning of, so we suggest having a backup choice just in case.

Will you have Oysters in the Jar?
Unfortunately we will not be selling oysters in the Jar to the public over the Easter period unless you’ve been able to place a pre-order.

Will you have Unopened Oysters?
We’ll have plenty of unopened oysters available! They’re about $6 per dozen cheaper than opened oysters and keep for up to 10 days. Why not give shucking a try?

Will it be busy?
Yes, the lead-up to Easter is one of our busiest time of year! There will be a line, but we’ll work hard to serve you quickly. Plus, the line is a great time to meet others in the community! To avoid peak times, try visiting after 11 a.m., when lines tend to ease up a little.

What are your prices?
We get fresh stock daily, so prices vary.  Follow us on Instagram or Facebook for daily updates on stock and pricing - we post on our stories each morning. For a rough guide, we predict prawns will range from $44 - $48 p/kg, Oysters from $28 - $34 p/dozen, Bugs $60-65 p/kg and Crabs $45-48 p/kg.

I’ve called but can’t get through!
Our phones are ringing non-stop this time of year, from early morning until we close, with multiple calls coming in at once. While we do our best, it’s not always possible to answer every call. We truly appreciate your patience and hope this FAQ page helps answer some of your questions!

Thank you for your understanding and patience during this busy period. We look forward to serving you soon!
