Nelson Bay (2315) is the jewel of Port Stephens — a beautiful harbour town on a blue-water bay backed by national park, known for dolphins, whale watching, and white-sand beaches. It's one of NSW's most popular coastal holiday destinations, and locals and visitors alike know their seafood. The Port Stephens fishing fleet is local, but the variety you can get from Sydney Fish Markets — sashimi-grade cuts, specialty shellfish, premium platters — is a genuine step above what's always available in town.

We deliver to Nelson Bay in 2–3 business days, with our maximum-insulation packaging keeping everything at 0–4°C for the journey down from Sydney. Sydney Rock oysters, sashimi-grade tuna and kingfish, lobster, and specialty shellfish are all on offer. Whether you're a Nelson Bay local planning a dinner party or a holiday visitor wanting to cook something spectacular with the harbour as your backdrop, GetFish delivers a range that complements the setting perfectly.

What Customers Around Nelson Bay Say

Verified reviews

Oysters

Just eaten fresh with a squeeze lemon

Tasmanian Pacific Oysters

The oysters were delicious, fresh and delicate flavour. Most enjoyable.

Fabulously fresh prawns, a winner for dinner

Fabulous and with the correct thawing can be used over many meals. Superb prawns

Liquid syntax error (snippets/suburb-faq-hunter-valley line 25): Expected end_of_string but found string in "{{'Branxton is at the heart of Hunter Valley wine country, making seafood and wine pairing a natural occasion. Sydney Rock oysters with a glass of Brokenwood or Tyrrell''s semillon is a classic combination. For the region''s shiraz, try seared salmon or grilled flathead fillets. King prawns pair well with Hunter verdelho or unoaked chardonnay.' }}"

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.

What wine pairs best with the seafood you deliver to Nelson Bay?

For white wine: try our sashimi-grade kingfish or Sydney Rock oysters with a Hunter Semillon. For red: our king prawns grilled with garlic butter pair beautifully with a lighter Hunter Shiraz. We find that Nelson Bay customers often order seafood specifically to pair with local wines — and it works brilliantly.
