Buying Information
Upon delivery, your fresh Yellowtail fish fillets will be ready for your enjoyment. Simply store them in your refrigerator, allowing you the flexibility to use them at your convenience within a span of up to 3 days. If you prefer to extend their shelf life, you can opt for home freezing. We recommend freezing the fillets on the day of arrival and consuming them within 3 months for optimal quality. Please note that the Yellowtail fish flesh colour may naturally change from a light white to a light brown hue once frozen, which is completely normal.
If you have any specific requests or instructions regarding your order, we've got you covered. Simply provide these details in the NOTES section during the Checkout process. Whether you need us to be aware of a malfunctioning doorbell, require a phone call prior to delivery, or prefer to have the fillets or steaks vacuum packed separately or cut into smaller portions, just let us know. We're here to accommodate your preferences and ensure a seamless experience.
Sustainability

Yellowtail fish is a remarkable fish in terms of its breeding habits and growth rate. It is known for being fast breeding, faster growing, and highly resilient, with unpredictable seasonal migrations. The latest stock assessments conducted by SASSI affirm that Yellowtail populations are healthy and not at risk from overfishing.
When it comes to sourcing Yellowtail fish, we take pride in using artisanal landlines, a fishing method that is highly selective and has minimal impact on the marine environment. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in the low ecosystem impact associated with our Yellowtail fishing practices.
We utilise single lines and hooks, ensuring a targeted and low-impact approach to catching Yellowtail. This gear selection further minimises any unintended bycatch or negative effects on marine life such as dolphins and turtles, ensuring that our fishing operations have no impact on these species.
By choosing our Yellowtail, you are not only supporting sustainable fishing practices but also contributing to the local economy. Our fish are caught within a distance of 200km, emphasising our focus on supporting local communities and reducing carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation.
In addition, Yellowtail boasts a high reproduction potential, which is a testament to its resilience as a species. This characteristic further underscores the sustainability of our Yellowtail fishing operations.
With our responsibly sourced Yellowtail, you can indulge in its delicious flavours knowing that you are making an environmentally conscious choice. Join us in promoting sustainable seafood practices and enjoy the bounties of the ocean while preserving its delicate balance.
