½ Price Sealord Australian Hoki Sourdough Crumb Wild Caught Fillets 300g $4.50 @ Woolworths

400

These are one of the better frozen crumbed fish available. It’s two thick pieces per box. 65% fish as opposed to 50% found in a lot of brands and it specifies that it’s hoki. These make for a quick and easy air fryer dinner, with salad or veggies.

Only the sourdough crumb variety are 1/2 price, not others in the same range. I think they must be clearing this variety hence not in the catalogue

    First in with the “this should be normal price. It’s a scam” usual comment

    • They're just trying to justify their Dominos, Maccas, KFC, HJs, etc, decisions…

      is that a good wow or a omfg that's expensive wow?
      genuine question, new to buying my own groceries lol

      • Good wow. It's cheap.

      • WA Saddletail Snapper usual prices are $15-20 whole fish, $35-50 fillets per kg

    • I saw yellowfin tuna fresh steaks in Woolworths for $10 a kilo the other week

    Getting increasingly hard to find Australian frozen fish. And half the time, it's caught in Australia, sent to China for processing, then sent back. Which is just wild that the economics of this stack up. This one is caught in Australia but processed in NZ, which isn't as bad, but still.

    • Which is just wild that the economics of this stack up.

      Sheer essence of a wealthy country practising some irresponsible capitalism.

    • I remember 10-15 years ago it was sometimes cheaper for cargo ship freights to go from Melbourne to Perth via China than from Melbourne to Perth direct.

    • This NZ product is also a labelling nightmare.

      You may be picturing some quaint father and son fishing vessel off the coast. It's not that.

      The Korean and Chinese deep sea fishing fleet is gigantic. Usually based in the Atlantic. They stay out at sea for months, freeze the fish on the boat and return to China for primary processing. Whole fish -> fillets.

      The processed fish is sent to NZ for re-processing. Slicing, crumbing, par-frying.

      It's all possible because frozen fish can be shipped on boats really really cheaply. It costs less to transport from China to Aus port than from supermarket to your house.

      Because of Aus/NZ rules about labelling, if X% of the product cost is in country, they can apply the made/processed/packaged labels.

      • You’re correct in the most part but I thought Sealord was one of the brands that actually catches and processes directly in NZ and NZ waters https://www.sealord.com/sustainability/fishing-practices/

        Of course locally caught bought straight from a coop or similar is the best way to go, but I must admit using frozen products for convenience.
