Hi Rioters.
I’m looking for recommendations on where and when to buy seafood in Canberra to be eaten on Christmas day?
A few years ago I bought some from a place in Weston Creek (opposite the post office) and it was great. However the place has since closed down.
I’m after large prawns, lobster tails and some oysters.
Thanks.

In years gone by I have posted on FB about The Oyster Haven in Geelong St Fyshwick (near where the old Rebels club house used to be). I haven’t been there for a long time but I’ve looked them up on Google and they are still there. They always had the best seafood in Canberra.

+1 for Ocean Fresh. What is the consensus on the best type of prawns to buy?

I like the saltier tasting prawns so that’s tigers I believe.

Those prawn circles from Vietnam you can get in Coles have a distinctive flavour you don’t get from other sorts.
