What We’re Loving This Week at Shane’s 🐟

Broadbill Swordfish

Another incredible local game fish, just like the Mahi Mahi we featured last week. This beautiful Broadbill Swordfish steak has been cut from a 67kg fish caught just off Sydney Heads.

Swordfish has a mild flavour with firm, white, meaty flesh, making it one of the best fish for cooking on the barbecue or grill. It holds together beautifully and develops a delicious caramelised crust while staying juicy inside.

Simple is best with this one — a little olive oil, sea salt, cracked pepper and a hot grill. 🔥

Fresh, local and absolutely stunning this week at Shane’s Seafood.

Come grab a steak and give it a go!

🐠 What we’re loving this week at Shane’s 🐟

Mahi Mahi is in season now through to May – and it’s an absolute cracker!

Caught by local commercial game fishermen alongside big pelagic species like Tuna, Swordfish and Marlin, this is premium, ocean-fresh fish at its best.

Mahi has a firm, lean flesh with a mild-to-sweet flavour that works beautifully across so many dishes – from fresh ceviche to baking.

But if you ask us? 🔥
It’s best done on the grill. A little olive oil, sea salt, cracked pepper and a squeeze of lemon… simple and perfect.

Pop in and grab some while it’s in season! 🙌

This Week’s Fish & Tips 🐟💙
From all of us at Shane’s Seafood — eat what you love. Cook what you love. It’s really that simple.
Seafood shouldn’t feel complicated or fancy (unless you want it to be 😉). Whether it’s crispy battered flathead for a Friday night treat, garlic butter prawns midweek, fresh oysters with lemon, or a whole snapper baked on the bone — the best way to cook seafood is the way you enjoy it most.
And how good are these ideas from our customers! 🙌 We absolutely love seeing what you’re creating at home — from easy tray bakes to impressive seafood spreads for family and friends. You guys bring the inspiration every week.
Keep tagging us in your seafood creations — we might just feature you next!

🐟 What we’re loving this week at Shane’s... Local Snapper!

Beautiful local Snapper, individually line-caught and lovingly ike-jime (brain spiked – you’ll notice the small puncture just above the eye 👁️).

This traditional Japanese method results in:
✔️ Better texture
✔️ Cleaner flavour
✔️ Longer shelf life
✔️ Respectful, humane dispatch

Caught by one of our trusted fishermen on the Central Coast, these snapper are as fresh and local as it gets 🙌

We’ve got all sizes available from:
🐟 Plate size (around 500g) – perfect for cooking whole on the bone
🐟 Larger fish – ideal for filleting, roasting or the BBQ

Whether you’re after crispy skin and flaky white flesh or beautiful fresh fillets, this is premium local seafood at its best.

Pop in and we’ll help you choose the perfect one for dinner tonight 👌

🐟 This week's Fish and Tip! 🐟

Is all about pairing flavours to suit the fish 💛

White fish loves butter, herbs and garlic.
Oily fish shines with citrus, chilli and fresh herbs.

Think delicate white fillets like our Sand Whiting, finished with garlic butter and parsley. 🧄🧈

Or rich, oily fish lifted with lemon, fresh coriander and a touch of chilli 🌶️🍋

Next time you’re cooking seafood at home, try matching your flavours to the style of fish — it makes all the difference.

Need help choosing the right fish? Just ask us in store — we’re always happy to help 🐟🙌

What we’re loving this week at Shane’s… 🐟
Sand Whiting!

Sticking with our beautiful local species, these absolute crackers are hand-lined caught straight out of the Hawkesbury River.

It doesn’t get much better than that 👌

Sand Whiting are prized for their delicate, sweet flavour and light, flaky flesh — arguably one of the best eating fish in Australia. Simple, fresh and seriously delicious.

They’re fantastic cooked whole on the BBQ or in the pan… but if you ask us? Our go-to is battering or crumbing them for that classic golden crunch. Fish & chips night done right 🙌
Pop in and grab some while they’re in — local, fresh and ready for dinner tonight!

🐟 What we’re (especially Basil) loving this week at Shane’s… John Dory!

Ever noticed the dark “thumbprint” on its side?

Legend says that before becoming an apostle, Saint Peter was a humble fisherman. When he pulled this striking fish from the sea, he gripped it firmly with his thumb — leaving behind a permanent mark. That’s why in many places John Dory is also known as St Peter’s Fish.

Story or not… it’s one of the most recognisable fish in the ocean 👀

✨ Why we love it:
• Beautiful firm, pearly white flesh
• Mild, slightly sweet flavour
• Lovely large flakes
• Perfect pan-fried with crispy skin

Keep it simple — hot pan, butter, squeeze of lemon, pinch of sea salt. Perfection.

Have you tried John Dory before?

This week's Fish and Tip!

🐟 How to cook the perfect fillet of fish 🐟

Pat fish dry before cooking — it helps you get that golden, crispy skin instead of a soggy pan situation.

Easy Crispy Skin Fish

✔ Pat fish dry with paper towel
✔ Season with salt & pepper
✔ Heat a pan with a splash of oil until hot
✔ Place fish skin-side down and don’t move it
✔ Cook until skin is golden and crisp, then flip for 30–60 seconds

Finish with a squeeze of lemon and serve with salad or chips.
Easy, quick, delicious 🙌

What we're loving this week at Shane’s Seafood!

Loligo Squid 🦑

Loligo Squid has a delicate, slightly sweet flavour with a tender texture and a pleasant springiness to the bite.

Locally sourced from the Hawkesbury River, it’s fresh, versatile, and easy to cook.
Perfectly sized for stuffing and cooking whole, or cutting into pieces and frying for a quick, delicious meal.

❓️Did you know❓️

Calamari vs Squid

• Calamari – Thicker flesh, more tender, with wings that run the length of the body
• Squid – Thinner, firmer flesh with short, triangular wings at the top of the body

A great option if you’re looking to try something new and delicious.

We’re excited to introduce our new weekly segment… Fish & Tips! 🐟✨

Each week, we’ll be sharing easy tips and simple cooking ideas to help you get the very best out of your seafood — and feel confident trying something new, even if you’re not quite sure how to prepare it.
Fresh seafood made easy.

First up its 🦞 Eastern Rock Lobster!

If you’re grabbing one of our Eastern Rock Lobsters, here’s how we love to prepare them 👇

👉 Preparation
We’re happy to humanely prepare the lobster for you, making it easy to take home and cook with confidence.

👉 How to cook
Eastern Rock Lobster is incredibly versatile and works beautifully in classic dishes like lobster mornay or lobster thermidor.

But honestly? We think it shines best when kept simple.

✨ Our favourite ways:
• Boiled whole – perfect for sweet, clean lobster flavour
• Cut in half and cooked flesh-side down with plenty of butter on the grill or BBQ

👉 Top tip
Don’t overcook it! Lobster is at its best when just cooked through — tender, juicy and full of flavour.

Simple, buttery, and absolutely worth it 🦞💛
