No doubt you have seen
the TV articles on the imported cheaper prawns and fish flooding the
market generally via the supermarket chains. These products
certainly have done nothing for the Fishing Industry as a whole or
for the consumer. Basically you get what you pay for!
Our main product base
is of course Prawns – banana, kings, tiger, debs (Endeavour) green
and cooked.
We cook prawns, crabs
and bugs on a daily basis so always have a good supply of freshly
cooked product available either through the retail shop or for
sale wholesale to our restaurant and take away shops etc.
Local whole fresh fish
is always popular either reef or estuary – sold either whole or
filleted down in our processing room on the premises. Bulk of the
reef fish caught locally is Saddletail Snapper, King Snapper, Redthroat
Emperor, Red Emperor plus other numerous mixed species.
The
owners now have their own line fishing boat so if the weather is
reasonable we have a good supply of reef fish.
Queensland Mud Crabs are
a famous delicacy and when they are in season we have good supply
which are also fresh cooked daily but also are sold live or green
for the customer who likes to do their own special recipe.
We are probably the
biggest supplier of Queensland caught Spanish Mackerel and Grey Mackerel fillets
to Central Queensland. We supply most of the quality Fish and Chip
Shops on the coast and Rockhampton.
We
also unload scallop trawlers on our wharf and buy their by-products
like Moreton Bay bugs, sand crabs as well as purchasing a quantity
of their scallops in the shell and shuck them on the premises.
We are licensed by
Seafood Services Australia and all our labeling complies with the
Australian Fish Names Standard AS SSA5300.
