The Sydney rock oyster (Saccostrea glomerata) lives in bays, inlets and sheltered estuaries along the east coast. Sydney Fish Market calls it Australia's first aquaculture species, with farming beginning in the 1870s. It is sold year round and peaks from September to March. Oysters were among the summer foods of the Eora, who lived mainly from the produce of the sea.
