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.

G’day all my seafood loving islanders..
The Maggie Fishmonger is having a late start today and will be trading from 2pm to 5pm.. The good news is the delay in start time is because I’m waiting for some beautiful bluefin tuna to arrive this morning.. So for all the sashimi lovers on the island get down to the Arcadia pub from 2pm as this will sell out fast..
Also I will have fresh large mouth Nannygai fillets available on ice ready for dinner tonight.. Only about 40kg of fillets available so get in fast or you’ll miss out..
local king and endeavour prawns, bugs, scallops and oysters..
Apologies for any inconvenience with the late start today..
