Fish Fillets

The majority of the fish at Ocean Fresh is bought at the Sydney Fish Markets each week and handpicked by our own management team. Depending on the season and recent weather conditions, we aim to have a wide selection of fresh fillets available each day. Our team of filterers cut the fish on a demand basis so you can be assured that the fish is of the freshest and highest quality.

Tuna

Tuna is an incredibly nutrient-dense food. It’s rich in high quality protein and an excellent source of important nutrients such as the minerals selenium, magnesium, and potassium; not to mention the B vitamin complex, and of course, the marvellous omega-3 essential fatty acids.

At Ocean Fresh we personally hand pick our tuna each week from the Sydney Fish Markets, before purchasing we test for freshness and avoid fish that may have any bruising to ensure the best quality tuna is on offer.

For best results, store tuna steaks in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Sashimi-grade tuna, to be eaten raw, should be consumed within 24 hours of purchase.

Tuna can be prepared a variety of ways: poached, pan-fried, stir-fried, baked or barbecued. The firm flesh holds together well in soups, curries and casseroles and can be cubed for kebabs. Like any fish it will quickly become dry if overcooked and its rich, meaty texture means it is excellent served rare.

Marinara

At Ocean Fresh we make our own marinara mix which is full of plump and juicy seafood. You will find a mix of calamari, green peeled prawns, baby octopus, boneless white fish and capsicum making this an easy and versatile meal for the whole family. Our marinara mix can easily be added to a pizza, pasta sauce, risotto, paella – let your imagination run wild!

Oysters

Ocean Fresh stock Sydney Rock and Pacific Oysters which are freshly shucked and delivered daily to ensure you are getting the best quality product available.

Oysters contain a whole raft of Vitamins, including C, D, B1, B1, B2 and B3. In terms of valuable minerals, if you eat just four medium-size oysters every day, you’ll get the recommended daily allowances of calcium, copper, iodine, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus and zinc.

There is a difference between Sydney Rock and Pacific Oysters, being, Pacific Oysters are larger in size and Sydney Rock Oysters are smaller, softer and sweeter in taste. Both varieties can be eaten numerous ways, naturally, dressed up with a vinegaret, cooked with a topping such as mornay or Kilpatrick, steamed or baked.
Once opened, Oysters should be stored below 4ºC and consumed as soon as possible.

Lobster

At Ocean Fresh, we typically stock Eastern Rock Lobsters. These impressive creatures are full of flavour, and when cooked correctly, have delicious moist flesh. Perfect for special occasions, especially a hot Aussie Christmas!

There are a few ways to purchase lobsters, our in store tanks make it easy for you to take home a live lobster, we also have fresh cooked lobsters that are ready to eat and frozen green lobster tails ready for cooking.

To be treated with respect, Eastern Rocklobsters are great for cooking, steam, poach, deep-fry, pan-fry, stir-fry, bake, grill, and barbecue. The firm flesh holds together well during most cooking methods. Undercook, rather than overcook, as they will continue cooking in the residual heat; overcooked lobster will become tough and leathery.

Live lobsters should be consumed as soon as possible after purchase. Place in a container, cover with damp paper or cloth and keep in the warmest part of the refrigerator, which is usually the crisper (optimum 5°C). Wrap cooked Rocklobsters in plastic wrap or place in an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months below -18ºC.

Atlantic Salmon is supplied to Ocean Fresh from the crystal clear waters of Tasmania. This farmed product has a smooth and mild flavour with a delicate texture. Not only does it taste great, it is healthy as well as versatile and can be baked, barbecued, poached, smoked or served raw as sashimi.
Salmon is considered to be one of nature’s super foods. Just 100g of farmed Atlantic salmon contains the same amount of Omega-3 as four kilograms of scotch fillet steak.
