Why Forbes customers order from GetFish

Forbes is a charming Lachlan Valley town with a proud pastoral history, famous locally for the beautiful Lake Forbes, its heritage streetscapes and the annual Carillion Festival. Sitting at the crossroads of the Newell and Lachlan Valley highways (postcode 2871), Forbes is a hub for the surrounding farming district and has a warm, community-minded character. Fresh seafood, though, has always been one of those things that required either a long drive or a compromise on quality.

GetFish brings Sydney Fish Market quality straight to Forbes — king prawns, fresh oysters, salmon portions, snapper fillets and seafood platters, all packed in temperature-monitored insulated boxes that keep everything at 0–4°C for the 2–4 business day journey. It's the same freshness that coastal Australians take for granted, now available on the Lachlan Plains. Our team buys at the fish market auction every morning, so you're getting the same catch that Sydney's seafood restaurants are serving that night.

Forbes locals have taken to ordering seasonal favourites — a kilogram of king prawns for a family Friday night, a seafood platter for a special occasion, or bulk buying during peak prawn season to stock the freezer. The flat $25 delivery fee applies to Forbes, and orders over $120 ship free. Order before 2pm Monday to Saturday to get your order dispatched as quickly as possible.

Forbes Seafood Delivery FAQs

Common questions about getting fresh seafood delivered to Forbes in the Central West area.

Does GetFish deliver to Forbes NSW 2871?

Yes, we deliver to Forbes (2871) and the surrounding Lachlan Valley area. Orders are dispatched from Sydney Fish Markets Monday to Saturday and arrive at your Forbes address within 2–4 business days. Order before 2pm for the fastest dispatch.

How fresh will the seafood be when it reaches Forbes?

We take freshness seriously for every regional delivery. Your Forbes order is packed in insulated boxes with gel ice packs immediately after we source it at the Sydney Fish Markets morning auction, maintaining 0–4°C throughout the 2–4 business day journey. You can expect everything to arrive cold, firm and genuinely fresh — the same standard we hold ourselves to for Sydney deliveries.

What's the delivery fee to Forbes?

Delivery to Forbes is $25. If your order comes to $120 or more, delivery is free. Given that a 1kg bag of king prawns plus some oysters and a fish fillet pack gets you close to that threshold, many Forbes customers stock up to hit the free delivery mark.

What seafood do Forbes locals order most often?

King prawns are by far the most popular order from Forbes — they're versatile, crowd-pleasing and the quality from Sydney Fish Markets is something you simply can't replicate with local supermarket options. Sydney Rock oysters are popular for entertaining, and barramundi fillets are a regular weeknight order. Our seafood platters do well with Forbes families for special occasions like Christmas or long weekend gatherings.

What's a good quantity of seafood for a Forbes barbecue?

For a classic Aussie prawn barbecue, plan on 400g per adult as a generous main. For a mixed spread including sausages and salads, 200–250g of prawns per person is comfortable. A 1kg bag of king prawns handles 2–3 adults as a main. Add a dozen oysters and some flathead fillets and you've got an impressive spread for 4–5 people.

Can I order seafood to arrive around the Forbes Elvis Festival or other local events?

Absolutely — planning ahead is key. For the Elvis Festival in January and other Forbes events that draw guests and visitors, we recommend ordering 3–4 business days before you need it to allow for transit time. If you're hosting visitors for a special event, our seafood platters and bulk prawn packs are perfect for entertaining a larger group. Just factor in the 2–4 business day delivery window when planning your order date.
