Looking for recommends for good value fresh seafood platter deals.
Not a huge fan of the one offered at Sydney Fish Market so looking around for other options.

OP hasn't stated how many ppl … Although, considering "platter" - would think many ppl.
That is really the game changer as to what ppl comment.
Looking at first one in your Groupon link … $79 but only serves 2 (maybe 4) ppl.
How many ppl are we talking about???
Costco ?!?!?!!!
Occasionally shop at Costco.Their prawn platters are/were $79 for 2kg+ of prawns served with lemon slices on a plate (coming into summer, everyone loves prawns).
Team that with some of their other pre-prepared seafood options that I have seen instore (although only designed to feed 4 ppl) === win.
[EDIT] : think Costco may source frozen rather than fresh …
But after a beer/wine from guests … Doubt you'll hear any comments RE fresh/frozen.
They'll more likely remember whether you ran out - didn't provide enough food (EG : a party with 50 guests - but only enough seafood to feed 20) == unhappy guests.
If you truly want to do things on a budget, then need to cut corners somewhere.
It's not really a platter, but if you are looking for seafood/fish to make your own platter, go to an Asian-majority suburb like Eastwood and find a fish shop with pushy sales, a bit of attitude and a $1 surcharge for card payments. They always have the cheapest prices and freshest stuff.
