Premium Content Seafood lovers across Mackay are the winners of the trade dispute as prices are reduced. Mackay Fish Market owner David Caracciolo said while he did not have an exact figure on how many tonnes of prawns and seafood they had sold, he expected Christmas to be busy for retail sales. He said it would continue the sales trend experienced since Easter. The lead up to Christmas has been quite strong (in the) last week or two, Mr Caracciolo said. He anticipated lobsters to be a big seller due to plummeting prices resulting from Australian trade disputes with China which was traditionally the biggest market for the crustaceans.
