Fish and seafood (especially prawns) are popular Christmas fare in Australia. Last night we went to the Sydney Fish Market to buy a salmon to poach, and came across this monster Moon Fish. Not too sure it will end up on anyone's Christmas table though. Reports are things have been busy at the fish market; it was pretty easy when we were there at 8pm last night. The market remains open from 5am 23 December to 5pm 24 Dec - 36 hours of continuous trading, and busy most tof that time.
Best thing to do is take your own esky or cool bag to bring the seafood home in. I'm pretty sure these book shop present wrappers wouldn't be quite the right thing at the fish markets. I guess they will be moving on to other things from end of business today.
Happy Christmas, happy blogging.
ReplyDeleteI was about to do 'fish' as well and log out for Christmas and saw you had already been down that path!
Looks a fine fish, Sally.

Hi Sally! Sorry for the absence, but these last weeks were a nightmare. Just dropped by to wish you a great season! Hope to be back before 2009... ;)

Love the wrappers picture. So neat and orderly. My wrapping look like I had a fight with it all. Haha. Love the blog.

Happy Christmas Sally to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI suppose a turkey roast just would not work in Oz with the hot weather at Christmas.
