Seafood Delivery Merewether
Delivery details for Merewether
Merewether is the jewel of Newcastle's southern ocean suburb strip — a stretch of beaches, ocean baths, and lifestyle amenity that sets the standard for coastal living in regional NSW. The Merewether ocean baths are iconic, the surf is consistent, and the cafe culture around the beachfront is genuinely excellent. It's the kind of suburb where a Sunday morning starts with a swim, moves to brunch, and ends with a long, relaxed afternoon meal with friends. Seafood belongs at every stage of that day.

A good rule of thumb: 200-250g of raw seafood per person for a main course, or 100-150g per person for a shared platter. For a dinner party of 6, that is roughly 1.2-1.5kg of seafood.
