The Pirate's Seachest Fresh fish and seafood, caught in our South Coast waters. We do our best to have the freshest local Call in and see our fishing boats!

Owner, Rod Ness, is a commercial fisherman who has been fishing locally and State-wide and has been selling fish in the Victor Harbor area for a number of years. The Pirate’s Seachest was established in 2011 at the request of locals who wanted to be able to buy fish direct from the fisherman and know that it was local, fresh and sourced sustainably. Over the years our shop has grown from a small sales area to a fully lined and air conditioned large shop. The Pirate’s Seachest prides itself in offering quality fresh local seasonal fish and seafood to its customers at competitive prices. This, together with our friendly service, makes for a great experience when purchasing your seafood. Our range includes local whole fish and fillets, Coffin Bay oysters, Spencer Gulf king prawns, crayfish, scallops, smoked fish, squid, bugs, crabs, home-made marinara mix, pickled products, home baked seafood pies and fish cakes and much more. If we don’t have it readily available for you, we will do our best to source it. Orders always welcome and we will deliver locally if you can’t make the trip to us. And visit our air conditioned shop. Marine Scale Licence M489

Rod and Julie, Pirate's Seachest

The Pirate’s Seachest has been forced to close its popular shopfront counter due to rising labor costs, inflation, and the lingering impacts of the algal bloom.
Despite the setback, Owner Rod Ness vows the business is here to stay, with the community still able to buy seafood with pre-orders.

We have been overwhelmed by the support and wishes shown to us from everyone with the announcement of closing our shop front 🙏

We don't want to disappoint or let down our customers so we have decided that we will:
- have a run out sale of our frozen product and existing stock including honey 🍯and plastic containers in the next couple of weeks
- open for short periods each fortnight for people to pick up frozen product (park in the gym car park and entry will be through the back gate).
- be taking orders for Christmas 🧑‍🎄for pick up only.

Available to order for Christmas will be fresh crays, SA prawns and oysters, limited fresh fish etc. 🐟🦐🦞Pick up will be at set days and times leading up to Christmas - watch this space over the next couple of months for updates on how and what you can order.

Thank you everyone for all your support and hopefully these changes will meet your needs.
