Thames Wholesale Fisheries

The fish shop located prominently on the wharf has been a Thames Icon for the last 25years, historically a fish wholesaler that offered a selection of fresh fish and related seafood products from the front of the shop still exists today. These days there is less emphasis on Fish Wholesaling but the retail shop is popular with locals and travellers alike and is well known for its selection of fresh fish, and array of seafood products including scallops, oysters, kinas, mutton-birds, mussels and a selection of smoked fish that is smoked on site. With ample room for parking with a boat in tow, a variety of bait as well as salt ice are also available on site. Thames Fisheries also offers fresh fish n chips that can be ordered at the fish shop and enjoyed on the outside BBQ tables overlooking the water and Marina area. Alternatively, the fish n chips can be eaten in the Wharf Coffee House and Bar a quaint little coffee house that was established for exactly that purpose. It is common to hear the customers complimenting their meal and proclamations of the best fish n chips ever. All in all, a visit to Thames is not complete without stopping at Shortland Wharf.
