Need gifting inspiration this Father’s Day? Look no further than Sydney Fish Market! Dads are notoriously hard to shop for, but we’d be willing to bet that no one would complain about a gift of food… And our retailers’ have a huge range of delicious options to choose from.  

Whether you’d rather rely on the experts to prepare a decadent seafood dish, or you want to grab the ingredients to cook one yourself, Sydney Fish Market is your one stop shop for food this Father’s Day. 

Decadent Seafood Platters 

Many of our retailers offer gorgeous, fresh, and decadent seafood platters for home delivery, and they are perfect for special occasions. Whether Dad’s a sushi fan, a lobster lover, an oyster afficionado, or an expert prawn peeler, there’s sure to be an option tailored to his preferences. 

The platter you choose will be dependent on your budget and seafood preferences, but our top picks are: 

• The Luxury Selection platter from Nicholas Seafood.

• This stunning Sushi Platter from Peters’ Sydney Fish Market.

• This lobster, oyster, prawn and crab platter from GetFish.

• The Seafood Lover’s Hamper from Claudio’s Seafood.

Fire up the BBQ 

As we slip into spring, the weather is perfect for firing up the BBQ… Let Dad sit back and relax with a cold beer while you cook up a seafood feast (though you know he’ll be offering tips from the sidelines). 

It’s surprisingly easy to whip up a restaurant-quality buffet spread on the BBQ – a bit of prep, then just fire up the coals and get grilling! We also have a green grocer, butcher, deli, and bakery on site, to make shopping easy. 

A few of our favourite BBQ recipes are: 

• Coriander and Pepper Prawns.

• Balsamic Marinated Swordfish Steaks with Seared Vegetables (a great one for red-meat lovers, that can be made with Swordfish steaks or Tuna steaks). 

• Char-Grilled Salmon Kebabs & Vegetables with Lime Mayo (skewers are super easy to customise with your favourite seafood and veggies – these ones use salmon). 

• Barbecued Lemongrass Rock Lobster with Cucumber and Carrot Salad (go the whole hog with a delicious and decadent Eastern Rock Lobster). 

• Surf and Turf (you can’t go past a classic Surf and Turf).

For the Meat Lovers 

If your Dad is more of a meat lover than a seafoodie, Vic’s Meats is the place to go. Take him to the Smokehouse and check out their indulgent menu (sneak peek here), from pork belly to buffalo wings, a range of juicy burgers, and endless tasty sides.  

Or, if you’re firing up the barbecue at home, let him explore the butcher's finest and handpick his poison. Browse their special offers section for the ultimate Father’s Day feast. How dreamy does the wagyu eye fillet look? 

Something a Little Different 

Does your Dad love to get in the kitchen himself? If he’s a fan of interesting flavours, our on-site artisanal deli, Blackwattle Deli, has a huge selection of sauces, pickles, spices, cheeses, cured meats, and treats that he will love. 

Order a gourmet charcuterie, some rich truffle honey, a selection of fancy cheeses, some sweet vinegar (perfect for an oyster mignonette), or a bottle of hot sauce for Dad to enjoy and keep on hand. 

Boardwalk or Boatshed Bliss 

Wanting an unforgettable lunch with Dad? We’ve got you covered. Discover a variety of delicious seafood dishes from our retailers and relax on the sunny boardwalk. Or, if you’re wanting to treat Dad to a fancier meal, we recommend The Boatshed Pyrmont.
