Tasman Pack vs Mixed Pack: Christmas Seafood Compared

The Mixed Pack costs $250 more than the Tasman Pack and adds 2kg of skin-on salmon sides, 2kg of skin-off barramundi sides and 1kg of smoked salmon. Both contain the same prawns and oysters. Choose by what you will cook and store, rather than assuming the higher price automatically suits your group better.

Choose the Tasman Pack for a focused prawn-and-oyster menu

The smaller range makes assigning jobs straightforward: one person manages chilled serving and another cooks the raw prawns. Add bread, salads and a sauce separately. The raw prawns are not a second tray of ready-to-eat seafood, and the listed weight is not a promise of peeled meat yield.

Think about oyster preferences before dividing a pack among friends. Thirty-six oysters split between twelve oyster eaters gives three each; split between six gives six each. Neither calculation says how many people the whole pack will feed.

Choose the Mixed Pack when the fish has a job

Plan a specific cooked meal for each fish side and decide who has oven or barbecue space. Adding fish without deciding when to prepare it can create more work on Christmas Day. Smoked salmon is a separate ingredient with its own label and storage instructions, not a substitute for the raw salmon sides.

The $250 difference covers the additional five kilograms of listed fish products within this bundle. It is not a claim about their separate retail value or a guaranteed discount. Prices include pickup; standard service and handling applies at checkout.

Check logistics before paying

Both packs use the same fixed Christmas Eve collection in Molendinar. They must be ordered separately from regular shop products. Read the current pack listing and terms, then use the portion planner to match the contents to your actual menu.
