Have the family coming over? Enjoy this convenient mixed pack of 2x deli packs of Cape Bream fillets, 2x deli packs of Carpenter (Silver) fillets plus a jar of Sea Lettuce Salt for the perfect seasoning. 

The Cape Bream is a previously undervalued species that occurs in natural abundance and is harvested year round. With its cooking versatility, it is well known within local Western Cape communities and has recently gained mainstream prominence through ABALOBI’s Fish With A Story programme.

Harvested by the Arniston, Struisbaai and Buffeljagsbaai small-scale fishing communities, Carpenter (or Silver) is a delicate, flavour-rich fish. Previously undervalued, this fish is now a sought-after staple in the kitchens of top chefs of the Cape.

Straight from the freezer to the pan, our deli fish packs are freshly frozen and vacuum-sealed to retain the same premium quality as the day they were caught.

Sea-lettuce is a nutrient-rich, edible green alga that is harvested intertidally by coastal fishing communities. Traditional fisherwomen of the Weskusmandjie Collective carefully collect, clean and sun-dry the sea-lettuce before adding it to coarse West Coast salt to create this unique product.

Our commitment to PLASTIC FREE oceans. 

At ABALOBI, we proudly offer the first seafood in South Africa to be wrapped in biodegradable packaging!  Our range of ethical Fish With A Story is now sealed in packaging that is all natural and home compostable! 🌊🌱 For more info please head over here.
