As above, can anyone help with suppliers, phone numbers, availability and costs of fish?

Have you tried golden ponds and freo tafe

Challenger TAFE Freo $15-00 per kilo
Golden Ponds will have them when it warms up a little in a range of sizes for $15-00kg

Yep Tony (username tonyabalone) at Freo TAFE but I think the current price is $20 kg. Also hear they are disappearing fast.

Burnsy - I was there over the weekend and there's plenty !

I wouldnt have thought Tony had them already lol,

It's a bit early for me to pick them up yet.

So only the tafe and Golden Ponds?

Just going on what Tony told me Friday. He said demand is high so it is best to get your orders in. We have ordered ours

Unless they're not intending to sell the ones already there.

They're not fingerlings - these things are nearly plate size already.

Tony said the restaurants are hungry for them so I think most are destined for the plate.

i went to golden ponds on friday, i grabbed a bunch of fingerlings at $3 each. if you buy bulk and give them time to prepare i believe you may be able to get them cheaper. there were only 2 sizes available tho. fingerlings and plate size.

I picked up 50 fingerlings from Golden Ponds yesterday at $3 each
There is a large range in size with mine as some are about 30mm long up to 125mm long but on average 50 - 60mm
I have spoken with Tony from Freo Tafe and Golden Ponds have bought most of their fingerlings. They only have 250 - 300 gram fish left that would be roughly $5 each. They are hopefull of another fingerling run but these fish would not be available untill January.
Unless anyone knows any other suppliers GP sounds like it for fingerlings this year.

Fish supplies are starting to become a problem....

Not only wa but here as well

hahahahaha.... fish supplies are starting to get better.....10 years ago in WA it was really bad.

I think 10 years ago, you have not "infected" so many people with the "bug" so there is more supply than demand back then... Sounds like in Nov/Dec, there will be more demand than supply.
