Cross between a fishmarket, factory wholesaler and retail shop, Faros Bros offers fresh seafood at…read morea fraction of supermarket prices. Not many people can afford to pay for parking at Sydney fishmarkets or make a special trip to Pyrmont to buy fresh fish. This place brings the fish to you! When you walk through the plastic flaps and into the giant cool room, it's evident what is for sale. Fresh fish and all different kinds of seafood lines the walls, so close you could touch it. But you don't, because there are people in gumboots, gloves and hairnets waiting to pick out the produce of your choice. There are people in the back gutting fish for the shop, so if you want to buy something whole, they can fillet it for you on the spot. To get an idea of price, the most recent visit I bought salmon cutlets for about $18 per kilo. A bit cheaper than the salmon fillets at $24 per kilo. Beats supermarket prices in the salmon stakes by at least $10 and makes eating fresh fish an affordable habit. If going at Christmas or New Year time, or any other holiday period be prepared to wait in a queue outside. Then be prepared to take out a whole garbage sized bag full of seafood for your holiday celebrations. Faros Bros is always busy and at super busy times there is a ticketing system. Parking is a bit hairy, with only 6 or so spaces in front of the shop, and on street parking a little difficult. There are now more spaces on the other side of the road, but take care when looking for a park as it's in a one way street with cars crossing from one lane to the other depending on which direction they are going.

The unlucky Crustacea are my flavour of the month right now, after I discovered how easy it is to make your own Singapore chilli crab sauce, which I admit I I have been craving after since I went to Jumbo's in Singapore earlier this year. (There is a great SBS food video and recipe that's easy to search for, if it's up your alley too) Googling for seafood outlets that are on my way home from work, I found the yelp reviews straight away. Easy for me to get to when swinging home through Marrickville. It's true you wouldn't know it was a seafood shop from the outside, but the fact you can very rarely get a spot in their tiny car park is testament to the fact a lot of people shop here. Park on the opposite side of the street to avoid the frustration of squeezing in. Think of something from the great deep blue that you can munch on and they probably have it here. Oysters, all of the Oysters!. Scallops on or off shell. Cooked yabbies - make yer own crawfish pie! Thinking I might do that next time I go. Fish of all species, Prawns cooked or raw, Octopus, Squid, and the one thing I came for Mud Crab. They have 2 tubs, one for boys and one for girl mudcrabs. I'm not up on the ethics of Mudcrab choosing, so I went for the biggest one. That sucker was alive and kicking. Trussed up of course, but that's the thing about crab.. fresh is best and you have to dispatch that little beggar on your own. She cost me $19. and she was delicious. There is a ticket system to get served, but for some reason I got bumped up the queue. I dont know if there were any tickets left, but the staff were immediately helpful and attentive. Prices seem pretty good, and everything looked fresh as a daisy. I dont even remember there being that fishy fish shop smell. Faros Brothers is totally worth of my half century review. If you're a local, go and see them the next time youre in need of a seafood fix I dont think you'll be disappointed.

While all things fish are definitely at the forefront of the company's business model, the seafood store also offers what we've come to expect from businesses of this nature - bacon and eggs rolls, coffee and sometimes even salad! But as the name suggests, fish is the business! And what a range of fish - just as easily as getting into the delicious fish 'n' chips for a quick Friday night meal, one might also buy filets of Atlantic Salmon for a Sunday lunch, or Sydney Rock Oysters to enjoy with a celebratory glass of champagne; it's all there. And it's fresh! So fresh, so tasty... As with all seafood suppliers, the supply and demand of the industry and seasons dictates the price and availability of certain fish, but Wholly Mackeral is certainly not unreasonably priced. It's also got character - the owner is a familiar figure around Glenrose Shopping Centre, normally spotted with a big grin on his face. His staff are also usually familiar to those in the area, given the penchant of local boys and girls aged 14 - 18 to get a job at the fish shop. Normally quite prompt, you could be in for a wait at about 6pm on weekend nights when nobody can be bothered to cook, but it's pretty quick as a rule.

It's set up in a great area and the boys at my soccer club are always up there early tucking in on the mega great chips.

Most places seemed to have major lack of anything fresh looking but there were more options here. I mean, it's def not WF or Sprouts but it was great compared to anything we'd come by in the prior two weeks. After all, being relatively the best is still the best. The store was easy to find and only about a mile away from the main strip of Manly but that was far enough away that the crowds didn't come over. Private lot outside that was mostly full but there were cars coming in and out so wasn't awful.

So it's nice to have a great seafood supplier like Moribato and Sons Seafood, conveniently located in your suburb. Found in the Forest Way Shopping Centre, Moribato is always busy; any given weekday, there are always people in line to get their paws on some fresh seafood. Over Easter (you know how you're meant to eat fish on Good Friday?) and Christmas, you'd better get in quick - as much seafood as the shop can take, it does. But it all sells, given its reputation for quality and tasty seafood. The variety is quite amazing - you want salmon fillets? Balmain bugs? Sydney Rock Oysters? Trout? King Prawns? All the usual fishy suspects are available for a barbeque with friends, or a quiet night at home. Moribato and Sons also does a mean fish 'n' chips, which means the queues on Friday night are often big to the extent of "Take a number, and wait over there." The wait is usually well worth it though - crispy battered fish cocktails and calamari rings are the perfect substitute if you can't be bothered to cook on a Friday night.
