Local tip
The market is about three minutes from Cairns Airport, so it can suit a seafood stop before or after a flight.

Ocean World Seafood Market is a seafood retailer and takeaway outlet at 379 Sheridan St in North Cairns, with a focus on fresh fish and seafood for home cooks, casual takeaway meals, restaurants and cafes. The market operates seven days a week and is located around three minutes from the airport, making it a practical stop for seafood shopping or a quick meal.

The range centres on fish, prawns, crustaceans and molluscs, with both fresh and frozen seafood available. The business places particular emphasis on local line-caught fish and local prawns, giving the market a clear connection to the region’s seafood supply. Platters and gourmet seafood products are also part of the offering, providing options for retail customers looking for more than individual pieces of seafood.

Takeaway service adds a casual dining option, with fish and chips available alongside the market’s broader seafood range. The format suits a quick lunch, an easy meal to take away or seafood purchases for preparation elsewhere. The venue has a straightforward, produce-led character, with the seafood itself at the centre rather than a formal restaurant setting.

Ocean World Seafood Market also supplies wholesale seafood to restaurants and cafes, while retail customers can shop for fresh, frozen and prepared seafood products. The combination of retail, takeaway and wholesale services makes the venue relevant to different types of seafood buyers, from households planning a meal to local food businesses sourcing ingredients.

The market trades from Saturday to Thursday between 9am and 7pm, with later closing on Friday at 8pm. Seafood can also be air freighted to other locations, extending the business beyond its North Cairns premises. The overall style is practical and food-focused, suited to seafood shoppers, takeaway diners and businesses seeking fish and shellfish supplies.
