Australian Sustainably Wild-Caught Reef Fish, From Boat to Plate

Welcome to the freshest seafood experience on Magnetic Island! The Maggie Fishmonger brings you premium, sustainably wild-caught reef fish straight from the Great Barrier Reef—no middleman, just a local fisherma

n supporting locals. It doesn’t get any fresher than this.

🌊 Catch Us at Nelly Bay Marina
Enjoy fish straight off the boat when we dock at Nelly Bay Marina! Keep an eye on our updates for the latest arrival times to get your hands on top-quality reef fish the moment it’s available.

🧊 Seafood Trailer Open Fridays & Saturdays
Find us outside Saltwater Restaurant, where we offer frozen seafood on Fridays and Saturdays. Just look for the Maggie Fishmonger trailer for a selection of the freshest local catches. Our Promise

Sustainably Wild-Caught: We fish right on the Great Barrier Reef using eco-friendly practices. Our line-caught fishing method—one fish at a time—ensures no unwanted by-catch while preserving the reef's delicate ecosystem. Plus, with our Minn Kota electric motor, we utilize spot locking instead of anchoring, which means no anchors and no damage to the reef, making our fish even more sustainable. Premium Reef Fish: Expect popular reef species like Red Emperor, Coral Trout, Goldband Snapper, and even some rare finds like Robinson Sea Bream. Order by phone or join the WhatsApp group for the freshest fish, straight from the reef to your plate! Follow us for updates on the latest catch times and arrivals.

Absolutely disgusting.. The WA government has allowed a off shore mining company to do seismic blasting in one of the main areas for WA dhue fish and pink snapper spawning and this is approved to be undertaken right at their spawning time but have stopped all recreational and commercial fishing of that area!!
WTF is actually going on with out corporate owned and run government..
Australians need to stand up together and put a stop to this madness…
