Super yacht, Hamilton Island and Airlie Beach provisioning

This is widely regarded as the best fish on the reef and always ranks amongst the best in Australia. With a strict catch quota and high international demand as a live fish this has become premium price, but for good reason. We have established a consistent source of filleted and snap frozen at sea, using only 1 commercial boat operating out of Cairns.

$47/kg and due to our supply volumes is well below what you will pay for this quality product in any other supplier. Most suppliers can and do supply an imported fish called coral trout...it is NOT!

Want to really impress? The majority of our Coral Trout fishery is shipped live to Hong Kong. We have a ready supply of live trout in Bowen. Our buyer travels to Bowen to select, dispatch and pack. We have to meet the market for these fish but indicative we usually pay in the range of $35/kg whole weight. This can be supplied as whole fish (ideal) or we can fillet and skin. The fillet weight is generally half the whole weight putting the fillet price around $70/kg. This is a great fish to impress by slow cooking on a BBQ or baked with ginger and soy. 

Stop Press: Price drop due to export restrictions. Perfect Cooktown Trout Fillets $41/kg as at 17th December

We ONLY use wild caught salt water fish. You will understand why when you try our "Barra". This is local supply and fresh not frozen for most of the year. During the closed season from November to February we use frozen fillet sourced in NQ. We never use farmed or imported product and never use fresh water fish. All "Baby Barra" are fish farmed so we don't supply these. We hand select our fish in the 4 to 10kg range which offer superb thick juicy cuts. This is a fine grained and superbly flavoured NQ favourite. New season local saltwater barra now in stock with fresh supplies on a daily basis.

NQ's "Fish & Chips". This replaces "Flake" as the fish of choice for better fish and chip shops in Queensland. White, flaky, boneless. Great fried in a beer batter or cut into large steaks. A BBQ'd Mackerel steak is a true Queensland delight, cooked hot and hard to seal in the moisture. This is a flavour strong enough to carry a range of spices and is a firm enough fish to use in a curry, risotto or pasta. We serve this, literally by the tonne as Cajun spiced fish and as our famous Fish & Chips.

Available skin on or skin off, boneless and as portions or whole fillets. Everyone knows this great aquaculture success story. This is always fresh, not frozen.

Ideal as steamed, baked or BBQ'd. These will come gutted, gilled and scaled.

If there is a better seafood experience than a chilli crab, or a cold "Muddy" with fresh bread and a crown larger, we have never had it. We employ a local crabber and usually have a steady, if always in demand, supply. Our Restaurants serve about 100 chilli crabs a week.

We cook crabs daily and can usually supply either fresh cooked or live (for the brave) There are seasonal variations for prices with $40 / kg an indicative average. We even supply bottles of our top secret chilli crab sauce (check out Trip Advisor reviews). Just crack the precooked crab in a wok, pour over the sauce, simmer with a lid on for 10 minutes and serve over rice (with a finger bowl, bib and plenty of serviettes)

Stop Press : Price drop due to great supply after the rain  $35/kg As at December 17th

We carry a fresh cooked local king prawns called a "Blue Leg King". This is generally a 10/20 grade (which means between 10 and 20 prawns to the pound€old fishing habit that it is still graded in pounds) To the average person this means they are "medium" size. These are snap frozen at sea and then thawed and cooked, as opposed to cooked and then frozen. There is a great textural and flavour difference. There is some seasonality in this price but currently $32/kg

Stop Press : Price Drop due to the rain and great supply $28/kg As at 17th December

These are for the BBQ, not the boiling pot. Premium grade U10 (under 10/pound). On average these are 75 to 100 grams each. Peel these, marinate with some garlic and chilli and throw them on a BBQ or into a hot wok.

Of a grade called 16/20. A "largish" peeled a deveined prawn cutlet. Great for a stir fry, pasta or risotto and THE prawn for battered or crumbed prawn cutlets. These are one of the few imported product lines we supply but do supply local wild caught when we can get them.

Great sweet local inshore prawn. Pale in colour and softer shelled, these are arguably our favourite "eating" prawns . Usually peak Feb to June.

These are a very large pacific oyster that we source from both SA and NZ. Some find these too large and creamy as a natural oyster. They are great for Kilpatricks or BBQ'd with garlic butter as they retain their size during cooking but lose the creaminess some find too much.

Premium grade coffin bay oysters. Absolutely among Australia's best as a natural oyster.

Smaller in size but big on taste. Need some notice for these.

 

Skinned, diamond cut and ready for salt and pepper squid or BBQ'd

Crumbed and ready to fry rings (frozen or fresh)

Beautifully flavoured. Available cooked ready for a cold platter or green to BBQ or stir fry. We use a large grade only. Prices a very seasonal. Use $34 as an indicative but ask for current market price when ordering.

Stop Press : Great supply of cooked and green large bugs $32 As at 17th December

Roe on or roe off half shell. Qld or southern

Pre poached NZ Green Lip or live SA Blue Mussels. The SA mussels have a long way to travel and a shorter shelf life as a consequence. These will always have a use by date of only 2 to 3 days after delivery. The NZ Mussels are pasteurised by the poaching process

Novel and easy.

Limited supply. Meaty, stronger flavour than southern crays. Best poached in a sauce as they can be a bit tough on the BBQ.

Stop Press : Great supply just in from Cooktown. From 1kg to 2kgs each. $42/kg. Can be split and cleaned if requested

We fly these in live and supply live. They are expensive and we generally need a weeks' notice.

As with southern crays.

Sashimi Grade or grilling tuna. Stop Press. Have small supply of beautiful Sashimi grade local Bluefin Tuna. Vac packed in 250 gram packs. $15 per pack
