PROFILED BY DEGROOTS MEDIAYou don’t need to drag out your deep sea trawler or get your scuba gear on to harvest the freshest seafood the ocean has to offer. Keep your toes dry and head to Deep Seafood and Oyster Bar, located within the Sydney Fish Market. Doing its best prawn impersonation in shades of orange, black and white, this seafood cafe is a casual place for a feed during the day when you need a break in between shopping at the market or a breezy lunch with friends on the weekend. But at night, the vibe goes up a fathom when Deep is transformed into a stylish restaurant offering classic and contemporary seafood dishes.
Deep has an affiliation with Claudio’s Quality Seafood, one of the market’s biggest retailers, so you can rest assured that your fish will be among the freshest in town. The menu at Deep is focused on allowing the quality of the produce shine through in each dish. Begin with the chef’s signature dish of warm seafood salad, composed of gently poached seasonal seafood drizzled in a seeded mustard and garlic dressing. The oyster trio offers pairs of bivalves smothered in Mornay, kilpatrick and royal sauces and the one kilo pot of Boston Bay mussels steamed in a garlic, butter, bay leaf and thyme sauce will have you patting your tummy contentedly.
