Catch of the day

Monday 7th October 2024

Live Spanner Crabs will be available from around 1pm and cooked from 2.30pm.

Welcome

Established in 1970, the Gold Coast Fishermen's Co-Operative was one of the first developments on the Spit at Main Beach.

For decades trawlers caught and sold their local catch to providers in the seafood industry. In 2005, the Co-Operative sought approval from the Gold Coast City Council Health and began selling their catch direct to the public from the boat at the best possible price.
