This is the best one stop sea food centre of Sydney with ample choices of fresh and cooked seafood variety. Although the prices are slightly higher than some other fish shops in western Sydney, the range and variety is massive specially prawns , crabs,oyters and lobsters. Very vibrant and lots of eateries. Its a must visit place
