Guided by your native food expert, the visit explores freshness, seasonality, and sourcing, offering a deeper understanding of one of Sydney’s most iconic food institutions.

    Working directly with trusted fishmongers, guests take part in selecting seafood and market produce that will later be used in the native lunch. This hands‑on ingredient selection creates a tangible ocean‑to‑plate connection, bringing provenance and decision‑making into the experience. Carefully chosen tastings may include Sydney Rock oysters and other market‑fresh highlights along the way.
