About Us

About JOSHUA JAMES COLLEDGE TRAVERS

Our frozen seafood shop on Stanley Street in Latrobe, in north-west Tasmania, is run by Joshua James Colledge Travers. It started from the simple advantage of the place: cold water, short trips from the boat to the freezer, and a region that has always known what good shellfish tastes like.

Nine lines make up the shop: squid rings, whole octopus, brown crab, crayfish tails, tuna steak, sole, small sea fish, sea cucumber and a mixed family box. Small batches, described plainly, with the net weight printed on every pack and nothing added to make a product look larger.

Why we sell seafood frozen

North-west Tasmania sits in cold water, and cold-water shellfish hold their sweetness better than anything shipped up from warmer grounds. Freezing on the day of landing simply holds what the water already gave the product.

How an order is packed and sent

A measured layer of dry gel ice, an insulated liner and a sealed outer carton, labelled with the species, the net weight and the packing date. The whole point is that the product is still hard when the box is opened. Orders are processed in 1 to 3 business days and delivery is estimated at 7 to 14 business days depending on where you are in Australia. Tracking is emailed as soon as the parcel leaves Latrobe.

Built for north-west Tasmania

Everything is packed at Stanley Street and sent with tracking, including across Bass Strait. If you are local to Latrobe or Devonport and would rather collect, write to us first and we will have the order frozen and ready.
