Why Forster customers order from GetFish

Forster sits on the southern shore of Wallis Lake — one of NSW's most productive estuaries — and along with its twin town Tuncurry, it forms the commercial heart of the Great Lakes region. It's a town that takes its seafood seriously: Wallis Lake oysters are famous, local charter fishing is popular, and there's a relaxed coastal lifestyle that revolves around good food and time on the water.

Even here, though, there's a strong case for ordering from Sydney. Wallis Lake oysters are exceptional, but GetFish also carries Sydney Rock oysters from the Clyde and Shoalhaven rivers alongside Pacific oysters — giving you variety and the ability to compare. More importantly, the sashimi-grade tuna, hiramasa kingfish, and premium whole lobster that make a real occasion out of a dinner simply aren't consistently available at the local level. GetFish buys at Sydney Fish Markets auction daily, so stock is fresh and the range is always full.

Delivery to Forster (2428) takes 2-3 business days, with every order temperature-monitored from the moment it's packed. Insulated boxes and gel ice packs keep everything at 0–4°C. Order by 2pm for the fastest possible turnaround and enjoy free delivery when you spend over $120.

What Customers Around Forster Say

Verified reviews

Fresh, on time and delicious

GetFish delivers again - thanks so much!

Amazing

LOVED it. Almost melted in your mouth

Pure indulgence

Fantastic! I make fish cakes usually with this item. However, my standard poodles get a super treat with salmon on top of their dinner too. I love it, my family love it and so do my poodle kids.

Forster Seafood Delivery FAQs

Common questions about getting fresh seafood delivered to Forster in the Mid-North Coast area.

Do you deliver to Forster and the Great Lakes area (2428)?

Yes, we deliver to Forster (2428) and nearby towns including Tuncurry, Pacific Palms, and Smiths Lake. Delivery takes 2-3 business days from our Sydney Fish Markets base. We run Monday to Saturday — place your order by 2pm for the fastest possible dispatch.

How does GetFish keep seafood cold during the 2-3 day delivery to Forster?

Every order is packed in a heavy-duty insulated box with multiple gel ice packs, engineered to hold 0–4°C throughout a 2-3 day regional delivery. We dispatch same-day (before the 2pm cut-off) so your seafood spends as little time in transit as possible. On arrival, the box interior will still be cold — your seafood will be as fresh as when it left Sydney.

How much is delivery to Forster, and is there a free shipping option?

Delivery to Forster costs a flat $25. Free delivery is available on orders over $120. Given Forster's strong appetite for good seafood, it's easy to reach the free delivery threshold — a kilo of king prawns and a bag of oysters will get you there.

Forster is a fishing town — what does GetFish offer that I can't find locally?

Forster locals know their seafood, and that's exactly why the premium end of the GetFish range stands out. We carry sashimi-grade hiramasa kingfish and yellowfin tuna, lobster, whole mud crab, Sydney Rock oysters from Clyde River and Shoalhaven (for comparison with local Wallis Lake oysters), freshly shucked scallops, and premium platters. This is the auction floor product — the best Australia's fishers bring in each day.

How much seafood should I order for a long weekend on Wallis Lake?

For a weekend of seafood meals for four, a popular combination is 1kg of king prawns, 500g of fish fillets, a dozen oysters, and 500g of calamari. This gives you variety across multiple meals without over-ordering. Everything can be refrigerated for 1-2 days on arrival, or frozen if you want to spread it across the full weekend.

Can I time my GetFish delivery to arrive at my Forster holiday house when I get there?

Yes — this is one of the most popular ways to use GetFish. Place your order a few days before your arrival, using the holiday address, and time it to land on or the day before you arrive. You'll need someone available to receive and refrigerate the parcel, so if the property has a holiday manager or check-in host, coordinate with them. We can't guarantee exact delivery times, but the 2-3 business day window is reliable.
