This Christmas, Milonas and his fellow seafood retailers at Melbourne s historic food market will sell 12 tonnes of cooked prawns and almost 1200 dozen oysters between them. The second-generation fish seller is betting Christmas 2020 will break records as Victorian families shake off their lockdown shackles and regroup over the holiday season. Sydney rock oysters are at their best between September and March.
