For nearly six decades, McLaughlin Consolidated Fishermen has been sourcing, handling and distributing the world’s freshest seafood for the good health and enjoyment of all Australians.
Established in the early 1960s as a family business under the banner of RF McLaughlin Pty Ltd, the business has grown, under the leadership of Malcolm McLaughlin, to be one of Australia’s largest seafood wholesalers.
In 1990, RF McLaughlin Pty Ltd forged a partnership with Consol Fish, a group of independent fishermen and cooperatives, to become McLaughlin Consolidated Fishermen Ltd. Today, the company is under the helm of Malcolm’s son and Managing Director, Andrew, along with son-in-law and Chief Operations Manager, Nathan White, who oversees day-to-day business activities.
Founded on strong values of integrity, service and quality, the brand is renowned for having a deep understanding of the diverse needs and preferences of its customers, as well as fairness and honesty in every business deal.
For over half a century, we’ve been at the forefront of the industry, driving changes in the handling of seafood, and development of new product lines to service Australia’s ever-evolving population and food preferences.
We care deeply about our staff, many of whom have been with us for over 20 years. From the fishing boat to the market place, our staff are passionate about seafood, great at what they do and have a deep understanding of our customers’ needs.
As one of the largest seafood wholesalers in Australia, we’re able to offer one of the most diverse arrays of wild-catch and fresh-farmed seafood from around Australia and the world, daily. We also supply a broad range of frozen products.
We are driven by an unwavering commitment to fairness in every business deal; that’s why we’re considered one of the most trusted seafood wholesalers in Australia. Whether selling seafood locally or for export, we strike the right balance to ensure the best outcome for customers and suppliers alike.
An intergenerational passion for seafood has seen McLaughlin Consolidated Fishermen grow over nearly six decades to become one of the largest and most trusted seafood wholesalers and exporters in Australia.
Every member of our team is passionate about what they do and dedicated to providing our customers with the freshest.
