Seafood Trawlers

Shorncliffe

Updated: Sep 11, 2025

One of Brisbane’s best kept seafood secrets, the Shorncliffe Trawlers, lies in the inlet of Cabbage Tree Creek.

Here, dotted along the Sinbad St stretch, can be found a line-up of fishing trawlers who moor here after their seafood catching adventures at sea.

From Thursday to Sunday (varies with each trawler) the trawlers sell their fresh catch (prawns, bugs, crabs, etc) to the public-in-the-know, who rock up with freezer bags and eskies.

Some of the consistently good ones are Rolinda & Moonshine (Wed-Fri), Jo-Anne Premium Seafoods (most Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays) and Lucinda Bay Seafoods.
