Ocean World Seafood Market

Ocean World Seafood Market is a seafood retailer and takeaway in Cairns North, located on Sheridan Street and around three minutes from Cairns Airport. The business focuses on fresh seafood for retail customers, while also supplying some of Cairns’ leading restaurants and cafes. It operates seven days a week, making it a useful option for locals, visitors and hospitality buyers looking for seafood to take home or enjoy as a cooked meal.

The range covers fresh fish, prawns, crustaceans and molluscs, along with platters, gourmet products and frozen seafood. Ocean World places particular emphasis on locally caught fish and local prawns, while also sourcing quality Australian seafood from southern regions. Its takeaway department serves fish and chips, offering a straightforward cooked option alongside the retail market’s fresh and frozen selection. The website also lists promotional products and a takeaway menu for customers wanting to check what is available before visiting.

The business was established in 2007 by Mende and Peter Adams, who brought 30 years of experience across hospitality and retail. Their focus is on combining fresh seafood sales with prepared food and customer service. The venue describes itself as having a strong local customer base, while also serving the growing tourist market in Cairns. That mix gives Ocean World a broad appeal: it suits residents buying seafood for home, travellers looking for a convenient meal near the airport, and restaurants or cafes sourcing seafood for their own operations.

For customers outside the local area, Ocean World also states that it can air freight fresh seafood. The venue is therefore more than a takeaway stop, with services spanning retail sales, cooked takeaway, wholesale supply and seafood delivery by air freight. Its North Cairns location, broad seafood categories and emphasis on local fish and prawns make it a practical destination for anyone wanting to buy or eat seafood in the city. The website confirms trading seven days, with later hours on Friday.
