About Us

It’s not really about us, it’s all about the fish!

Craig & Sandy

Welcome to our place -
The Fresh Fish Place!

Hi there! We’re Sandy & Craig, owners of The Fresh Fish Place where our motto is simple…fresh is best.

We’re proud to have grown from small beginnings, a fisherman and tuna poler back in the 80s, to working our own fishing licences and now operating one of the largest supplier and processors of seafood on the Eyre Peninsula.

Our cafe soon followed as with freshest seafood at our fingertips, a cafe serving up the best fish and chips just made sense!  Our business now encompasses an entire ocean to plate experience, for families dining in to factory tours to delivering to restaurants everywhere.

…And when we’re not doing all that, well we’re surfing or painting! Not a bad life if we do say so ourselves.

Sourcing Local Seafood

WE’RE PASSIONATE ABOUT SOURCING ONLY THE finest

The Eyre Peninsula isn't called the Seafood Frontier for nothing… home to the largest commercial fishing fleet in the southern hemisphere, it’s a smorgasbord of world-class seafood.

Our most important task is therefore sourcing seafood from these local fishermen that are scattered around our vast coastline. Our Managing Director Craig McCathie has an affinity with these suppliers having been a commercial fisherman himself for 25 years. Over this time, he gained invaluable knowledge of the commercial fisheries in this region as well as forming strong relationships with his fisher colleagues. 

Craig says, “Understanding the catching of fish and the supplier’s needs is vital to sourcing a reliable supply of fresh, high-quality seafood”.

Our seafood is sourced fresh, filleted and shipped Australia wide… daily. Ensuring the bite you take is among the freshest in the world.
