I always go here for oysters when visiting family living in Melbourne. Super fresh, tasty, and clean. Currently $20 for a dozen Coffin Bay oysters. $28 for St Helen and Bay of Fire. They also have XXL versions of the St Helen and premium ones (like a Miyami breed from Tasmania?) for a bit more. Long high tables right at the store to slurp them. Or bring them to the food court for sit down tables. They also have sea urchin sometimes; $14 for a whole sea urchin, already half shelled and prepared to eat ASAP. Why only 4 stars? They are so popular that their oyster prices IMO are too high. When you can get the same St Helens oysters in nice restaurants for $5 each, and they're charging $3... read more

The Bruny Island oysters were delicious - they were freshly shucked in front of us and enormous, meaty and succulent. We had to try the sea urchins but we weren't excited - we'd rather eat the oysters! read more

Aptus Seafood - Coffin Bay Oyster - Seafood Markets Near Me - South Melbourne, VIC

I LOVE this seafood shop in the South Melbourne Market, not only is full to the brim with the freshest fish and seafood, but they have freshly shucked oysters to buy, by the piece for $1 each! Such a healthy treat to fuel you while your shopping, skirt a little bit of their pre-made tomato and coriander sauce on top, dash of lemon, or perhaps Tabasco if you prefer and slurp it down the hatch! Aptus Seafood also has very good prices on your more gourmet seafood, they have everything from Moreton Bay Bugs, to Rock Lobsters to Mornington Mussels in bags for about $4. If your looking to save yourself a few dollars head into the market just before closing (around 2:30pm - 3:00pm) most of the stalls including Aptus Seafood heavily reduce all the stock they still have left in an aim to get rid of it all before the next market day. read more

I love the Fish n chips, but this time it was not as good as the last time. It seems that the workers are not organized and it looks chaotic behind the counter. I still like to come here because it is a hit on some days. read more

Aptus seafood is the biggest fish stall in South Melbourne market. I really like buying their fish as it's really fresh, even for some of those in the trays. Their vongole is good as well as their oysters. Their service is friendly and they are more than happy to give you ice when asked One thing I was unhappy about is their sea urchin. I paid extra for them to "clean" the sea urchin and all they did was to open it. That was the easy bit! The hard bit is to clean all the black things out so it was quite disappointing to see it wasn't done. read more

My father pre ordered for Christmas 2020 and paid for delivery. Well it's Christmas Day and the order never arrived. Not even a phone call from them to communicate what was happing despite us trying to phone and message them on every number, online contact and social media platform we could find. We want answers. read more

You have not truly lived until you have stuffed a St Helens Tasmanian oyster down your gullet, garnished only with a dab of tabasco and a squirt of lemon. Big, sweet, and salty - just the way I like them. $1.50 and worth every cent. read more

Good place for a quick fix of seafood, some cooked. Quality is average, price is on the high side considering it's a standing joint. Ordered fish and chips, lobsters, prawn skewers and fresh oysters. Nothing really stands out, oysters are as fresh as can be and half the price in a restaurant. Given complimentary salad which is a nice touch. read more

Great selection of fresh seafood. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Seems to be the best prices in the market. Few dollars less than the other vendors. Got a half-kilo of both orange roughy and blue eyed. Both were fresh and firm. read more
