My young family is moving from Sydney to Melbourne soon. My friends whom have done the same commented the noticeable difference in pricing for seafood.

We could get cheap fresh fishes like mackerels and yellow tails at $3.99/kg sometimes.

Any recommemdation on where to shop for seafood in Melbourne?

Thanks!

Quick update: went to Springvale but find that they are not very fresh. Camberwell market was ok but not many varieties. The one I found to be very good is Christopher's Fine Seafood at Clayton. Price is reasonable and they are very fresh. The selections are good too - so check them out. I will visit Dandenong market, South Melbourne and QVM and keep this post updated. Cheers!

    Coles - hahahahahaha, just kidding. Queen VIc Market is seafood central with the best range but not the best prices. I like Footscray market for range and prices.

      where abouts is this in springvale? Open all days? Always wanted to head down there and try to grab some bargains - a viet guy at work swears by the beef he buys that is thinly shaved and frozen ready to be used in pho..

        On springvale road in the town centre find a parking spot & ask anyone. You won't miss it

    Wholesale fish market footscray but you need to have connections.

    Dandenong Market has a couple of fishy shops. They are on the web under Dandenong market. They reckon they get fresh supplies daily. I haven't tried them. I was looking for supplies for new years day.

    For a Greek experience, try Oakleigh.

    hey, did you end up getting a chance to go to QVM and southmelbourne markets. what is your feedback from that compared to clayton?

    • AloMel on 15/02/2021 - 16:34

      hi there, QVM and South Melbourne are more high end. But my favorite fish store now is in Dandenong Market. They are fresh and cheaper compared to the rest
