Sick of the same old baby snapper and baby barramundi? Then go for some plate size BLACK BREAM. A beautiful white fleshed fish that we unfortunately do not see enough of. Only $22.90kg for whole fish.

This mackerel truly is the best on the market at the moment.  Read from the fisherman's mouth why he feels it is far superior.

There's blue mackerel then there's Craig's blue mackerel.

Straight from the fisherman's mouth.

"When we spoke on the phone the other day you asked me what makes my mackerel different from the other mackerel that’s available.

For starters it is line caught fish sustainably caught one fish at a time, in my opinion the purse seined fish is damaged to a certain degree when lifted and dropped into the ice bins.

Mackerel is a softer fish to begin with and can be easily damaged and bruised resulting in reduced shelf life and aesthetics.

I have been working closely with the guys at Fish Butchery and through some trial and error we have found what we believe to be the best temperature for holding the mackerel, using electronic temperature monitoring I am able to keep a close eye on the fish and easily maintain a consistent end product.

All my fish is caught packed and sent on the same day to ensure quality and freshness.

Although I can fit 350-380kg of mackerel in my ice box we found that once over 200kg the fish’s quality was impacted from rubbing against each other and losing scales leading to less appealing looking fish and potential for reduced shelf life.

My fish is also packed in such a way to reduce any squashing or rubbing during transit, care is taken at every stage resulting in an end product with improved aesthetics, shelf life, quality and work ability."

It's been a tough week with this weather but rest assured there's always something popping up. Here's a few ideas.

- SPANISH MACKEREL is now in season and we some amazing fish coming out of WA tonight. Whole head off $24.50, fillets skin on $29.90kg
- large MULLOWAY from Northern Territory available and well priced. Fillets Skin On you're looking at $28.90kg.
- absolutely stunning iki jime spiked HAPUKA out of New Zealand. Incredible quality 4-7kg fish. $25.90kg
- MASSIVE SCALLOPS fresh from Abrolhos Island, WA will be available consistently for the rest of the year.
- beautiful whole SEA URCHIN out of St Helens, Tasmania.
- Spring Bay LARGE MUSSELS are definitely a good option at this time of year. They're a great large size and very affordable. At $9.90kg how can you go wrong.
- unfortunately Goolwa PIPIS will NOT be available until at least next Tuesday. Luckily we have available some fresh WA Venus Bay Cockles; they're great.

It's pacific oysters all the way this week.  Unfortunately all farms in NSW have been washed out again so we will NOT see Appellation, or any type of Sydney Rock oyster this week at this stage.  Luckily the quality of the pacific's is on the rise and we will have plenty from both South Australia and Tasmania available for the rest of the week.

And get ready, we should see a consistent supply of the GOLDEN ROYAL MIYAGI by the end of May or early June.
