Seafood Trawlers

One of Brisbane’s best kept fresh seafood secrets, the Shorncliffe Trawlers, lies in the inlet of Cabbage Tree Creek.

Here, dotted along the Sinbad St stretch, can be found a line-up of fishing trawlers who moor here after their seafood catching adventures at sea.

From Wednesday to Sunday (varies with each trawler) the trawlers sell their fresh catch (prawns, bugs, crabs, etc) to the public-in-the-know, who rock up with freezer bags and eskies.

Some of the consistently good ones are Rolinda & Moonshine (Wed-Fri), Jo-Anne Premium Seafoods (most Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays) and Lucinda Bay Seafoods (Fridays and Saturdays).

Tip - always check with the trawlers via theri SM pages before making the trip in case they are not selling this week. Fresh seafood catches sell out quickly so nplan to be there early.
