Christmas Seafood
A traditional Christmas Eve dinner in an Italian home means seafood. Recreate the Feast of the Seven Fishes, La Vigilia, in your home with LaManna’s range of prawns, oysters, salmon and scallops.
Our Christmas seafood range includes everything you need for a generous spread, including platters.
Best sellers:
- Pacific oysters
- Sydney rock oysters
- King prawns (extra large cooked)
- Atlantic Salmon Family Pack (skin on)
- Hervey Bay Scallops with garlic butter (ready to bake)
Order online through our Christmas seafood collection and collect on 23 or 24 December.
Christmas Turkey
A juicy turkey is still the centrepiece of many Australian Christmas lunch tables. Our turkeys are sourced with the same care and attention as the rest of our produce.
Choose from the Whole Free Range Turkey with enough meat to feed a full table, or the Rolled Turkey Breasts with Fig and Pistachio or Cranberry and Chestnut for a smaller group and if you want something easier to carve.
Order your Christmas turkey online and collect at Essendon Fields on 23 or 24 December.

Christmas Ham
A tasty leg of ham on Christmas is non-negotiable. That’s why the Otway Pork range at LaManna is some of the best ham you’ll find.
The Leg of Ham is the perfect choice for a full table; it’s generous, well-glazed and enough to last past Boxing Day. Having a smaller gathering? The Half Leg of Ham gives you the same taste and quality without leftovers taking over your fridge. Both sizes are available to order online.
Products:
- Otway Pork Leg of Ham
- Otway Pork Half Leg of Ham (on the bone)
Porchetta & Christmas Roasts
Porchetta is the preferred choice for many Italian tables at Christmas, and it’s easy to see why. Pork is rolled with garlic, rosemary and fennel and slow-roasted, with crackling that’s worthy of MasterChef. It’s the Italian alternative to the classic Christmas meat, and a great choice for a sunny Christmas day lunch.
We make our Christmas porchetta fresh in-house. Order online and pick it up on the day, ready to serve to your guests.

Christmas Platters
LaManna’s Christmas platters are designed to take the pressure off entertaining during the festive season. No last-minute chopping, just something generous and eye-pleasing that’s ready when you are. We make our platters fresh in-store at Essendon Fields, including antipasto and charcuterie to premium seafood and cheese.
Order your Christmas platters online and collect in-store on 23 or 24 December (1-day lead time for in-store platter orders).
