Seafood Delivery Callaghan
Delivery details for Callaghan
Callaghan is the home of the University of Newcastle, and the suburb reflects that — it's a hub of academic energy, student life, and research activity surrounded by leafy parkland. It borders Birmingham Gardens and Jesmond and is a short drive from Newcastle's CBD. For the students, academics, and university staff who live in and around Callaghan, good food matters, but premium seafood isn't always easy to come by locally.
GetFish bridges that gap by delivering directly to Callaghan 2308 from Sydney Fish Markets. For students hosting a share-house dinner party, a platter of tiger prawns and oysters makes an impressive and surprisingly affordable spread. For academics and staff, our weekly fish fillets, salmon portions, and seafood bundles offer a convenient, quality alternative to supermarket seafood. We buy at auction every morning, so the selection reflects what's genuinely best on any given day.
Delivery to Callaghan takes 1-2 business days, arriving cold and fresh in insulated packaging with gel ice packs. This isn't supermarket seafood sitting under fluorescent lights — it's the same quality that goes into Newcastle's best restaurants. Order by 2pm for fast dispatch, and take advantage of free delivery on orders over $120 by bundling with friends or housemates.

What seafood do you deliver to Callaghan that I can't find locally?

How much seafood should I order for a dinner in Callaghan?
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.
