    How Does the Fishermen’s Co-operative Work?

    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.
