It’s back! The Adelaide Central Market will host Seafood + Sounds during a two-day celebration of South Australian seafood and music in September.

Highlights include:
- Mouthwatering street eats and seafood specials from Market traders
- A lively program of live music to create a festive atmosphere
- Engaging cooking demonstrations showcasing the versatility of South Australian seafood
- A pop-up oyster bar serving fresh and delicious oysters

Adelaide Central Market Authority General Manager Fabienne Reilly says,
“the Adelaide Central Market is renowned for its commitment to the quality of our produce. For our Seafood + Sounds event, we have worked with our traders to ensure all seafood is harvested safely and meets the strictest food safety standards. We’re proud to showcase the incredible bounty of South Australian waters – all seafood purchased from the Market is fresh, delicious, and most importantly, safe”
What is now an icon of Seafood + Sounds, the ever popular and two-day only Chilli Crab Shack will return. Customers can enjoy mouth-watering Asian-style chilli crab using local Market produce and fresh SA blue swimmer crabs, made by the team at Sprout. Armed with an oversized crab bib, customers are encouraged to dig in and get messy, as they enjoy a local wine, live music and Market vibes. Visitors are encouraged to secure their serve before the event by booking online as they sell-out every year. BOOK HERE
Market traders will also be joining the event with a range of special offerings available across the two-day event, including a seafood barbecue at Si Sea, a ‘Shellie’ Never Never oyster shell martini at Fair Seafood, warm buttery lobster roll at Atlas or the classic seafood basket at Angelakis Bros. Seafood.
Customers will be entertained with jazzy tunes by local musicians Atlantic Street Band, Jazz in Cheek, Brian Ruiz and Leni.
The kids haven’t been forgotten either, with a free under-the-sea art workshop and face painting.
