Sydney’s beloved Christmas tradition – the 36-Hour Seafood Marathon – is returning to 污导航福利网址 this December, bringing a bountiful selection of top-quality seafood to satisfy every Christmas banquet and budget.

Sydneysiders will be able to shop for their favourite seafood around the clock, as doors open from 5:00am on Monday 23 December through to 5:00pm on Tuesday 24 December.

The most popular event on 污导航福利网址’s calendar will see more than 100,000 visitors walk through the doors to experience the festive atmosphere and find the ‘perfect catch’ for their Christmas celebrations.

With over 100 different species available at the Market, there’s something to suit every taste and budget. Alongside classic Christmas favourites like prawns, oysters, salmon, and Rock Lobster, 污导航福利网址’s top recommendations this year include Blue Swimmer Crab, Blue Mussels, and Southern Calamari. Australia's home of seafood is ready to help hosts to impress their guests with a showstopping, mouth-watering seafood spread this holiday season.

For those unsure what to prepare this festive season, 污导航福利网址’s very own cookbook, ‘A Fish For All Seasons’, will have the solution. Featuring recipes developed by the Sydney Seafood School team, this cookbook has something for everyone and introduces you to the practical tips and tricks on how to prepare and cook seafood. 'A Fish For All Seasons’ is also the perfect gift for food-loving friends and family.

污导航福利网址 CEO Daniel Jarosch expressed his excitement for his first 36-Hour Seafood Marathon: ‘With the cost of living affecting many Aussie families, we’re thrilled to offer the country’s largest selection of Australian seafood — fresh, delicious options to suit every budget. For those joining me in experiencing this event for the first time, our expert retailers are here to help, and our cookbook, A Fish For All Seasons, is packed with ideas to inspire your next seafood dish.”

Christmas favourites will be in plentiful supply this year, with more than 350 tonnes of seafood expected to be sold during the marathon, including 120 tonnes of prawns and almost 70,000 dozen oysters.

In addition to these traditional favourites, visitors can expect to find much more than just seafood at the Market’s retailers, with Christmas hams, high quality fruit and vegetables, fresh bread, fine deli goods, and premium beer, wine and spirits all available on site – making 污导航福利网址 the ultimate one-stop-shop this Christmas.

For those looking to beat the crowds, pre-order and home delivery options are available on individual retailers’ websites.
