Buying

Fresh seafood sold in Australia is of good quality. The high turnover helps to ensure that the seafood you buy is, at most, only a few days old. Even so, it is worthwhile knowing what to look for to get the best value for money.

Good supplies of seafood are available almost all year round in Australian cities and large towns. Nevertheless, the supply and price of fresh seafood fluctuates markedly because of regulatory controls on fishing seasons and uncontrollable factors such as fish migrations and sea conditions.
