Our Fishermen

Wild caught every day of the year from the clean and abundant waters off Western Australia, each Brolos rock lobster is selected by hand for its quality and vitality.

 

Our fishers work from Kalbarri in the north to Augusta in the South – over 1000 kilometres of crystal clear waters. Western rock lobsters thrive in untouched ecosystems from the pristine Abrolhos Islands off the coast of Geraldton and along the continental shelf of the Indian ocean.

 

Take a step abroad and experience a day in the office of our Members as they fish for only the best Brolos Western Rock lobster.
