Sea Mullet

Mullets are flavoursome fishes that are generally available year round. Bake, grill or smoke mullets with rich flavours for best results, or use them to produce a tasty finfish pâté. Marinate with grilled fennel, bake with mushrooms or grill with oranges. Try them baked, wrapped in oiled brown paper. When the paper starts to crisp, peel and flake into large pieces. Toss in balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing and use it to crown a bed of rough-chopped, garden-fresh vegetables. Other appropriate ingredients to complement the strong flavour of mullet include onion, garlic and tomato.

Whiting

Whitings are prized for their sweet, delicate flavour. They are versatile fishes that can be prepared in a number of ways including steaming, baking, barbecuing and grilling, with frying the most common. Careful handling is required because of their soft and delicate texture. Fried whiting fillets are fantastic served with chips. Smaller whiting are delicious deep fried whole. Steamed whiting fillets with the rib bones carefully removed have a well-earned reputation as an ideal food for invalids and children because they contain very little oil and are easily digested. Butterfly fillets are also popular as there are few bones. With the exception of trumpeter whiting, which has soft flesh, all whiting species can be used for sashimi. Complementary flavourings for whiting are the herbs dill, basil, chives, parsley and tarragon. When whiting is grilled or barbecued, a salad of grapefruit, orange, lime and lemon, with a citrus and olive oil dressing, will complement the flavour wonderfully. Other suitable sauces and condiments are lemon and herbed butters or buerre blanc. Crusts of cumin, coriander and ground turmeric are also tasty.

Blue Swimmer Crabs

With their sweet, nutty flavour, and evenly textured, moist, firm flesh, blue swimmer crabs make superb eating.

Either as a filling for tortellini and ravioli, or as the “meat” layer in a lasagne, blue swimmer makes a delicious addition. Crabs are cooked to our own traditional recipe. Raw crabs available fresh Tuesday - Saturday 24hrs notice required for raw crabs orders.

Wild Caught King Prawns

King prawns are the most popular species of prawn in Australia, due no doubt to their rich flavour and moist flesh. They are extremely versatile and excellent for display purposes. Suggested coatings include batters (regular or tempura) with a touch of saffron. Crumbs made from brioche make a good match with the sweetness of the prawns. Blend in saffron, turmeric, cumin or ground coriander for added flavour. Available cooked or raw. We buy direct from the boat that catches them.

Tailor

Tailor is a well-known Australian finfish with a rich, strong flavour. Its high oil content makes it ideal for grilling, barbecuing or baking but it can also be fried. The flesh is soft so minimal handling and careful cooking are required. If grilling, prepare in fillet form with a mustard meunière. Smoked, it is considered a delicacy. The smoked flesh also makes a succulent pâté. If baking, score to ensure even heat penetration.

Northwest Snapper

Considered one of the best eating fish in the sea. Good battered and deep fried. They are known collectively as North West Snapper but they are not snapper at all. Size limits vary for different types of Emperor so you need to be able to tell blue lined and spangled emperor from all the other types. Caught fresh in WA waters

Available in 500 gram packs

Sea Scallops

Scallops are strong and rich in flavour with a medium–firm texture. They are popular grilled or barbecued, but avoid overcooking, which causes shrinkage, or the use of too much salt. Grill under a salamander, then drizzle with lime juice and olive oil, or sprinkle with fresh lemon zest and cracked pepper. Combine with coriander, avocado and chilli salsa on a crispy pappadum. Caught fresh in WA waters Not available in shells - meat only.

Gummy Shark

Smaller sharks have sweet and delicious flesh, and are popular for their boneless and thick flakes. They have been commonly used for the traditional “fish and chips” but should not be overlooked for barbecuing, poaching, braising and baking. Marinate first in oil and lemon to tenderise the flesh. Remove the skin before cooking, particularly when barbecuing, to prevent it shrinking and tearing the flesh. Excellent for soups, shark is most popularly used in Asian-style shark fin soup and can also be successfully combined with crab meat. The texture of shark also makes it a great ingredient for fish cakes or kebabs.

Australian Sea Herring

Australian herring is a staple species for recreational and commercial fisheries in the south of Western Australia. Although named for a superficial resemblance to the herring of the northern hemisphere, they are not related. Australian herring can grow up to 41 cm in length but most are caught at about 20-25 cm. An endemic Australian species, it occurs in the coastal waters of southern Australia. Its lifecycle depends on prevailing currents. Australian herring populations are all from the same genetic stock.
