About Oceania seafoods

Drawing on four decades of experience supplying quality seafood to Melbourne's restaurants, at Oceania Seafoods, we know our seafood. While we continue to work with some of Melbourne's most exclusive fine-dining restaurants and hotels, since 2018, we've started selling directly to the public. We strive to make fresh seafood available to everyone, whether you're a restaurant owner, chef at a hotel or the grocery shopper for the home. Customers can buy the same restaurant quality seafood on our online store, Oceania Seafoods Select.

We provide a huge selection of premium quality seafood at great prices, including sashimi grade fish, various species of shellfish, live seafood (crayfish, abalone), molluscs, crustaceans (prawns, bugs), rare delicacies (sea urchin, karasumi, toro etc.), and much more.
