Geraldton Fishermen’s Co-operative (GFC) was formed in 1950 by a group of fishers who wanted to take control of their own supply chain. Today, GFC continues to be proudly fisher owned and controlled and has grown to represent 70% of Australia’s most valuable wild-caught fishery, Western Rock Lobster. This equates to nearly 50% of Australia’s total rock lobster exports. GFC’s Member shareholders are family-owned fishing businesses that are spread over 1,000 kilometres of the Western Australian coast.

With a wealth of knowledge of the sea, in 2008 the Thompson family expanded their fishing operation, creating Indian Ocean Rock Lobster, a lobster receival and processing facility. Now re-branded, Lobster Shack, the family-owned and operated company produces premium grade lobster, including live & value-added products supplying both domestic and international markets.

Our lobsters are wild-capture from the pristine waters of the ‘A’ Class Marine Park Reserve which surrounds our home port of Cervantes, Western Australia.

KB Food Company today exports our seafood range to China, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, France and the United States. Whether the products are Live, Chilled or Frozen, our seafood has been recognised by global markets for its premium quality and consistency.

Western Rock Lobster
We source this unique species of Rock Lobster from the vast coastline of Western Australia everyday. The product is pot caught and thrives in deep water and coral reefs.
