Did you know Mahi Mahi or commonly known as Dolphin Fish are very fast swimmers reaching speeds of up to 95km/hr. Mahi Mahi literally means “Strong Strong”!
This fish has a pale pink, lean flesh that cooks up flakey & white & tastes delicious!
Mahi Mahi is considered an eco-friendly seafood option because they grow & reproduce quickly!
We have this delicious tasting fresh fish in store today! Drop in & grab yours while stocks last! 😁

The Co-operative has been operating on the foreshores of Coffs Harbour since the early 1950s. It’s owned by 40 local fishermen. They supply us with fresh seafood almost every day, which you can buy straight off their boats through our retail store and Takeaway. Essentially, all wild-caught species delivered to the Co-op by our members are graded with all the premium product retained for filleting, processing, and sale through our retail outlet. Next, all surplus stock is sold wholesale to local restaurants, cafes and licensed premises. Lastly, the remainder is sent off to the auction house at Sydney Fish Market.
The Fishermen’s Co-op retail store sells all our locally caught fish and seafood, we offer whiting, flathead, pearl perch, snapper, kingfish, tuna (perfect for sashimi), mackerel, swordfish, mahi-mahi, marlin, and other local species. We also catch delicious prawns, lobsters, Balmain bugs and crabs. Furthermore, in addition to locally caught produce, we stock the standard staples you’d expect to see. Rest assured, we can always provide a full range of delicious fresh seafood in Coffs Harbour.
The Co-op is owned by our fishermen, and we currently have 40 members. Moreover, we employ over 30 staff, all who have made Coffs Harbour their home.
”I’ve lived in Coffs Harbour for 20 years now and being part of the Fishermen’s Co-op team is a real privilege. It’s awesome being part of an organisation that’s keeping traditional fishing and fishing families thriving on the Coffs Coast. It’s hard work for everyone involved, but we’re proud of our business and proud of the quality and variety of fresh seafood we offer every day to happy tourists and locals alike.”
Bob St John, General Manager, Fishermen’s Co-op
Our family of 4 tucked into one of the better fish n chips we have had for a long time. Nice crisp batter (not soggy, oily, or smoothed). We had a selection trawler whiting, flake, calamari, sea scallops, potato scallops, and chips all beautifully cooked, and with great taste of the seafood

Clean eating area to sit and eat, give it a thought for an easy meal and place to eat.

Best fish & chips we ever had. The Dinner Pack was just huge for two, but you just can’t stop eating! Lovely and crisp chips, and the fish was exceptional. Only draw-back was the very small decking outside, which was too crowded and hard to find a vacant table. Unless of course you take your fish & chips and eat them somewhere else. Everything was as fresh as seafood should be. Straight off the boat! Next time we’ll try the mixed seafood.

Heaps of choice of fresh fish to cook at home. We got the $35 family basket – nice variety, plenty to eat, fast service, great taste. A good way to end a day out in the town before heading home again.

This was fish and chips done to perfection. Thick crunchy fish cocktails, calamari rings, prawn cutlets and chips were all fantastic.

In terms of options nice to see that they had fresh seafood but can also eat there. There are seats outside for you to eat and can enjoy the ocean breeze.

A good array of locally caught wet fish and a superb take away with outside covered seating. Was recommended to us as the best fish and chips in town and we would agree.

The fisherman’s co-op is your one stop shop for both a tasty seafood lunch and to purchase fresh seafood for dinner. Highly recommended the fisherman’s basket for two, it was easily enough to fill both our bellies. We then purchased a fresh kilo of prawns to take home.

Service at the Co-Op is friendly and helpful and the fish is MAGNIFICENTLY FRESH. If you have a special occasion coming up, the cooked lobster is absolutely delicious.
via Trip Advisor
The fish is nicely battered and fried perfectly. The fried squid also delightful. Freshly shucked rock oysters are nice and creamy. All at reasonable prices. Only negative was the serving sizes were so generous we needed more of that tartar sauce.
