Mackay
Reef Fish Supplies
commenced operations in 1986 when a Queensland fisher, David
Caracciolo saw the need to market his catch more effectively.
The
business is now operated by David, Brian and Graham Caracciolo and
has grown to be a significant supplier of fresh and frozen seafood
in Australia and to overseas markets, exporting since 1992 under
the name of Mackay
Reef Export Pty Ltd
The
sales and administration office is located at NT Fish Pty Ltd in Winellie Darwin.
NT Fish Pty Ltd now has wharf unloading facilities and a new
seafood processing facility encompassing a 400 tonne storage
freezer, blast freezer and processing facilities with full export
registration and handles fresh and frozen
fish, prawns and crustaceans.
NT Fish
Pty Ltd was
established in 1998 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Mackay Reef
Fish Supplies Pty Ltd, a Queensland based seafood processing and
marketing company with many years experience in catching, handling
and marketing seafood, to process the fresh fish caught in one of
the Northern Territory's major fishing areas - the area known as
the Timor Box.
These waters are virtually free of pollution and present amongst
the best quality fish available. Modern catching boats with
brine cooling and chilled storage facilities ensure the quality of
the fish. Fish are caught by dropline or trapping.
The
fish are then unloaded in the commercial boat marine in
Darwin Harbour into ice bins and transported a short distance to
NT Fish premises. Our EU approved export rating ensures the
best practice handling methods are employed delivering a high
quality product to the end user.
NT
Fish can present the product in fresh or frozen form as whole fish
or fillets as desired.
