In today’s day and age there’s a subscription service for anyone and everyone, delivering everything from make up and wine to days worth of meal prep right to our doorstep.
But now it’s the ocean that can be brought into the comfort of our homes, thanks to an Australian online fish market providing a few surprises of its own.
Manettas Seafood Market is offering a weekly subscription box that provides two or three days worth of fresh seafood for only $33 per person per week ($11 per meal).

Each box comes with seafood chosen by Peter Manettas’ seafood team, as well a schedule of what to cook and when, and ideas of how to prepare their selection.
Customers select the day and time they’d like their seafood to be delivered, ensuring the fish gets straight into the fridge, but what’s actually inside the box is not up to them.
Possible selections could be anything from marlin steaks, to barramundi snapper, flounder, mackerel, or some prawns to throw on the barbie, among others.
‘Whatever we cut fresh on that morning is what we ship out on that day,’ Peter Manettas told Time Out Sydney.
Manettas decided to launch the subscription service when he saw his customers kept ordering the same fish, usually salmon or barramundi, over and over again.
You could get everything from prawns and scallops to clams or large fillets of salmon

‘We saw that people were sticking to the same things when they were ordering off us and we wanted to get them to explore new things,’ he said.
Manettas doesn’t charge for shipping, and the service is available in Sydney and the Central Coast – even offering same-day delivery.
The online fish market is also taking orders for the holiday season and will deliver from 5am till 11pm from December 22 to 24.
Manettas Seafood Market was an instant hit when it opened last year, with 5,000 people registering before the service had even begun.
There is truly something for every seafood lover at the market, with 200 items on offer from one of Sydney’s oldest families of fishmongers.
And Manettas is happy to prep each order to your liking, from filleting the fish to peeling and deveining prawns and even offering to deliver live seafood.
