24.01.2022 This week's fish pun #tobinfishtales #awardwinningfishandchips #localseafood #justabitofpun

23.01.2022 Did you know we have ready to grab 250g packs of Billy's local prawns? These are very popular, especially as the weather warms up #tobinfishtales #awardwinningfishandchips #freshseafood #localseafood #sustainableseafood #buylocal

23.01.2022 Have you tried our newer additions to the menu? Seafood empanadas, salmon arancini, and our weekday special of seafood chowder! These are all designed to make use of our offcuts - an inevitable byproduct when we slice our own fish instore... we feel very strongly about using local products and reducing food waste #tobinfishtales #awardwinningfishandchips #localseafood #sustainableseafood #reducewaste #homemade

21.01.2022 To meet customer demand over the warmer months, we have decided to trial staying open later on Friday nights! We'll be here to serve you 'till 8:30pm.

14.01.2022 NEW! Sweet treats from Jean Pierre Bakery for after your fish and chips #tobinfishtales #awardwinningfishandchips #localseafood #localssupportinglocals #sweettreats

14.01.2022 Did you see Renae on the news last night? There's been some more media on the importance of correct labelling of seafood. Being commercial fishers ourselves, we understand the pride Australian commercial fishers have in their industry and the seafood product they supply. We love to do our bit in correctly identifying seafood products and the fishers who catch them. It is made all that easier when we source locally from professional fishers that have sustainability and qualit...y goals at the forefront of their fishing businesses. This media story does confuse a few issues though. The sustainability of Australian fisheries is better than it has ever been, and we are world leaders in fisheries management best practice. Only a handful of fished species are in a position of concern in Australia. Happily, active management programs are in place and those species of concern are rebuilding as a direct result of management intervention. Importantly, your regular consumption of fish & chips does not put you at risk of eating an critically endangered species, as this story insinuates. Furthermore, with world's best fisheries management practice in place, the fish species we serve are certified sustainable. Claimed "independently produced" Safe Seafood Guides are a dime a dozen, and we urge cautious use and interpretation. Why? Guides often contradict each other, and there is no transparency of process. For those that don't know, Renae and Andy both have doctorates - Renae in social and ecological systems as they apply to fisheries issues, while Andy expertise lies within the day-to-day operations and management of Australian fisheries. We kind of know some stuff! Rather than rely on a mysterious guide, get to know your local fishers and seafood mongers, you'll be surprised at what information they can offer. At Tobin Fish Tales ....... "Every fish has a story!" Our business activities pivot around supporting and profiling local, sustainable seafood ..... and we are more than happy to answer any questions you may have about our products and the fishers who catch them! https://www.facebook.com/7NEWSTownsville/videos/618336745710632/?t=0

09.01.2022 Happy to working towards our tick of approval from the Plastic Free Townsville initiative!
