A local, family-owned and operated business in Esperance, Western Australia.
Sustainably wild-caught from the pristine Southern Ocean
What we do
Esperance is located on the south coast of Western Australia with the most pristine coastline and waters in the world.
Our fishing vessel ventures out to harvest the freshest tastiest sardines you could ask for, the sardines are kept in excellent condition aboard the boat in an ice slurry in insulated bins to ensure the highest quality product.
How we fish
Fish Trapping for silver flounder
Fish traps are weighted at the bottom so that when set, they land on the sea floor the correct way up. Traps are baited so fish will be attracted to the scent of the bait and swim through the entrance. The traps are designed in a way to minimise the fish escaping once inside the trap.
Purse seining for sardines
The top of a purse seine net has floats and the bottom has weights attached that pull the walls of the net downwards.
The bottom of the net has a rope threaded through it which is pulled and tightened the net like a purse, trapping the fish inside.
