Christmas and seafood: It’s an Australian thing

EVERY family seems to have its traditional Christmas meal. While images of Christmas food are normally winter-season English-style hams, roast potatoes, gravy and mince pies, what sets an Australian Christmas distinctly aside, is seafood.

Peeling a quarter-million prawns on Christmas eve with your dad just may be as Australian as Christmas can get.

As a time to lash out on something special, Christmas is also a time for oysters, smoked salmon, scallops and crayfish.

The planning involved in obtaining seafood for Christmas can take on military campaign-proportions. Luckily in Shepparton this year, a range of Australian seafood is now available at GV Charcoal Chicken on Wyndham Street.

George Zoukis, the man behind the iconic Shepparton charcoal chicken shop, is stocking up on the best seafood and is taking orders now for Christmas seafood platters.

George has been running GV Charcoal Chicken for 30 years and has an unshakeable reputation as producing some of the best food in town. More than just chook, George has a massive range of sides and salads, too. He’s a man who loves his business, knows his customers, and keeps the highest standards.

For Christmas, think Australian crayfish, king prawns, oysters, smoked salmon and scallops – all available at GV Charcoal Chicken. Pre-order early to avoid disappointment.
Stop in at 380 Wyndham Street, Shepparton (opposite the NAB) or call on 5821 6928.
