South Australia Fish Market

This connection with the craft and the catch has been constant throughout our history. Today, Safcol continues to manage the thriving Safcol South Australian Fish Market. Our products are certified by industry-leading organizations to ensure quality and safety.

Think local kingfish, half-shell scallops, grilled squid and prawns. "By providing this service, we help deliver high quality, fresh Australian seafood to consumers while supporting the livelihoods of local fishermen." Located at Thebarton, the new facility replaces the company’s previous fish market and serves as a modern hub for seafood auctions, wholesalers, retailers and foodservice operators across the state.
The fish market opening follows Safcol’s recent announcement that it will invest $80 million in a new purpose-built food manufacturing facility at Edinburgh in Adelaide’s north. The project represents one of the largest recent investments in South Australia’s food manufacturing sector and the next chapter in Safcol’s 81 year history. Today, Safcol manufactures around 60 per cent of Australia’s wet baby food supply, alongside soups, canned vegetables, seafood products and products for major supermarket and national food brands. Restaurant-quality seafood and premium Wagyu beef delivered direct to South Australian homes. Enjoy the benefits of wholesale pricing without needing a business account. We believe everyone deserves access to high-quality seafood at affordable prices.
Our fleet of fishing vessels delivers fresh catches daily, ensuring you get the absolute best the ocean has to offer. As the first and only Australian seafood wholesaler and retailer providing 100% fisher-to-consumer traceability on all products, Fair Seafood is set to redefine the seafood shopping experience for Adelaide locals. Amid all the talk of ethical and regenerative farming and sustainable food production, it mightn’t seem that radical a proposition. But mislabelling on ocean products is a common (and largely unknown) obstacle to making better seafood choices.

A key feature of the market is its digital auction and traceability system, which electronically links seafood batches to the fishermen who caught them. The technology is designed to improve operational efficiency, streamline auctions and provide greater transparency throughout the supply chain. We source seafood sustainably from a fine collection of locally, hand-picked suppliers. We ensure our customers have the very best, premium quality seafood that is from our pristine Australian and New Zealand waters.
To deliver exceptional, curated products to food enthusiasts who value superior quality and exquisite flavours. The recently renovated park offers plenty of shaded picnic areas and fun play equipment for children. There were four of us who ate at Fair Food last year and we had such a great meal that I was determined to go back, this time with some new friends to share the experience. The food was just as amazing as I remembered, and their menu has expanded even more since my last visit.

According to many anglers, the amount of fish they can supply is significantly lower than the demand, so it’s inevitable that it becomes expensive. With over 80 years of seafood expertise, Safcol set the benchmark for responsibly fished tuna in Australia—leading the industry and raising standards that others followed. At the moment the menu also features Spencer Gulf prawn spaghetti with bisque sauce, barbequed whole red emperor, sardine with roasted peppers and fried saltbush, and a classic prawn cocktail. “We look for anyone doing the right thing, no matter what the product is,” says Prance.
Adelaide Seafood has two physical locations where we show off our quality lobster products as we have been for the past 45 years. If you need to find us, we are located in both Stepney and Marion for fresh lobster near you. Lobster is widely considered to be the best of the best when it comes to seafood, but did you know that freshness and quality make all the difference? Sometimes, the most expensive lobster does not necessarily mean that it will be the best lobster you can access. Instead, you should prioritise purchasing your lobster from sources that prioritise freshness and quality above all else.
On a lighter note, the restaurant is open 7 days a week, so you can drop by anytime. We understand that the $50 price tag for the SA KG Whiting is because of how amazing the meal is. However, we do think the price for the entreé isn’t reasonable for the food’s quality. You can stop in for breakfast too (think eggs Benedict with sand crab and smoked Ora King salmon rillette) or grab pre-made items to-go (like mussel hotpots, pipi clam chowder and lobster rolls). To drink, there are wines from SC Pannell, beers from Little Bang and Uraidla Brewing, and sodas by Mischief Brew, plus local gins, including Seven Seasons’ Green Ant Gin. “Everyone is so aware of pork and humanely raising pigs and chickens … but I think there’s this inherent assumption because we have waters all around us … that the fish we buy comes direct from those waters.

To provide better value for buyers they sell more whole fish that requires less processing and also the lesser-known varieties that are not necessarily found at fishmongers. This quaint seafood restaurant is a notable player in the list of best seafood restaurants in Adelaide. Tracing its origins across three generations, Louca’s sure know their seafood. If seafood isn’t your thing, you won’t be missing out – Sammy’s menu also boasts an extensive selection of meats and  pasta dishes to satisfy your cravings.
