The Seafood Boutique allows Australian locals to enjoy locally-sourced seafood produce delivered right to their doorstep. The process surpasses any means of shopping centers, pick-up services, or fish markets, going right to consumer's homes for a small fee. Consumers can select from a simple menu, with the security of fixed prices -- it does not fluctuate with rising demands.
Notably, the Seafood Boutique is the retail branch of AWC Seafood, which is the supplier of live Australian seafood to high-quality five-star restaurants throughout the Asian Pacific area. Some of the products include cooked king prawns, tiger prawns, oysters, a variety of scallops, lobster, bay bugs, crabs, octopus, and mussels. It delivers to the wide metropolitan area in a carefully sealed foam box packed with ice to ensure that the products remain fresh for up to 12 hours.
