Some Helpful Hints

• Never be afraid to experiment. Buy what is freshest or in season. If crabs are scarce substitute with bugs, prawns or scallops to add flavour to your meals
  
• Always purchase good quality seafood
  
• Don't overcook your fish, it can become dry or even tough
  
• Some thick fillets, like Red Emperor, need to be sliced into pieces of equal depth to cook evenly
  
• Don't ever leave your seafood in the car when going shopping. If you won't be home for a while please tell us and we can wrap it more appropriately
  
• Always take your fresh seafood out of the packaging before storing in the refrigerator at home to prevent deterioration. The wrapping is meant as insulation only and will keep the cold out
  
• If you are unsure of how to thaw or handle any product, please ask us
  
• Seafood makes a great gift, and we also arrange platters for functions, raffles and gifts
