The anatomy of a perfect braaiš„
The strategy here is simple: keep your Red Roman whole, score the skin, and pack the cavity with thick slices of fresh citrus. Braaing on the bone protects the delicate flesh from the heat of the coals, letting the citrus steam from the inside out while the open flames blister the skin to a perfect, smoky crisp.

Silverfish: itās a lean, clean, and incredibly versatileš
When you braai a Silverfish whole, the skin crisps up perfectly while the flesh stays delicate and flaky. We recommend keeping it simple: plenty of lemon, a brush of garlic butter, and a high-heat sear to lock in that fresh-landed sweetness.

The Cape Classicšš£
Firm, flavourful, and packing that signature rich texture, our Yellowtail is landed one by one off Cape Point and Struisbaai using traditional handline and rod-and-reel methods.
Slice it thin for world-class sashimi, or take a larger side straight to the coals for a classic Cape braai.

The Gold Standardš£āØ
Our Norwegian Salmon is the ultimate kitchen chameleon, available as precision-cut portions or full sides.
Go for the larger fillets for a slow oven-bake or a home-made gravlax, or ask the team for skin-off if you're chasing that perfect sashimi-grade slice. If youāre after a quick, high-heat sear, our smaller portions are the perfect fit for a mid-week masterpiece.
However you plate it, itās restaurant-grade quality delivered to your door.

Ethical, local, and restaurant-grade.
As the Atlantic temperatures drop, the colder water allows these oysters to fill their entire shells, resulting in a bigger, plumper oyster.
Grown on suspended racks in the nutrient-rich waters of Saldanha Bay, these oysters are the gold standard of local aquaculture. Our eco-friendly farming methods protect the natural habitat while delivering a sustainable harvest that supports the coast and the community.

Long weekend plans? Weāve got the starter covered.
Weāre back on the Yellowtail Carpaccio. While Tuna usually gets the spotlight, the clean, firm texture of our Yellowtail makes it the perfect candidate for this Mediterranean classic.
The SCSF Method: We sandwich the fillets between lightly oiled baking paper and use a tortilla press to achieve that signature, paper-thin transparency. A quick chill in the fridge to set, and it's ready for a bright, zesty salsa.

Huevos Rotos: The Spanish snack we didn't know we neededšŖšøš³
Justin saw this popping up on his feed and had to test it out. It sounds weird, it looks simple, and the flavour is absolutely mind-blowing.
All it is is a bed of crunchy potato chips, topped with a fried egg and prawns sautƩed in garlic-infused olive oil and chili.

Take a look inside the Southern Cross Tuna Lockerš
Straight from the vessel, every fish is hand-dried and hung in our temperature-controlled environment for 2-4 days. This dry-ageing process removes excess moisture, ultimately firming up the loins.
Itās an extra step, but for a restaurant-grade finish, itās the only way.

Justinās taking over the board to show you how we look after a fresh yellowtail.
Before the first cut, itās all about the audit: clear eyes, tail markings, and colour. Then comes the siding; if you donāt hear the knife hit the bone, youāre leaving meat behind.
Justinās goal? To prove heās finally closing the gap on Busiās legendary filleting abilities. (Weāll let the comments decide on that one.)

Meet the Patagonian Calamariš¦
Sourced from the Southwest Atlantic, this species is prized by chefs for its incredibly delicate, meaty texture and mild, sweet profile.
Unlike larger, tougher species, Patagonica stays tender even with a high-heat sear. Weāve done the heavy lifting; cleaned, prepped, and flash-frozen to lock in that peak saline freshness.

For everyone who thinks harvesting mussels is simple: it isn't.
The reality? Itās a labor-intensive journey. It starts with pulling heavy nets from the water and stripping the mussels from the ropes. From there, theyāre crated and moved to the cleaning phase, a meticulous process of removing barnacles and debris to ensure only the cleanest, premium shells make the cut.
Itās a long journey to the final product, but we wouldnāt have it any other way.

Sustainability isn't just how we fish; itās how we cutšŖ
Standard processing usually ends at the fillet, leaving half the fish to go to waste. At Southern Cross Seafood, we believe sustainability is about more than how a fish is caught, itās about how itās used in the kitchen.
Meet the Kob Wing. Carved from the collar, this is arguably the most flavorful piece of meat on the entire fish. When you move beyond the fillet, you discover the best cuts the ocean has to offer.
Sustainability means zero waste. Flavour means using the collar. Experience the full potential of your fish: https://www.southerncrossseafood.co.za/

There is a reason Portuguese Sardines are the gold standard.
Sourced from the Atlantic and flash-frozen at the source, these are larger, fattier, and richer than your average sardine.
The Golden Rule: Donāt overthink the prep. In Portugal, they are grilled whole (no gutting or scaling required!) with a heavy hand of coarse sea salt. Let the high fat content do the work on the coals.
