Founded in 1991 by Paul & Cherie Loomes, Tightline Fisheries has grown from a humble retail outlet on the Lower South Coast to a thriving business supplying both national and international customers with a variety of the freshest seafood as well as a diverse line of catering products. From our retail outlets to our wholesale division, our crustacean processing plant – the largest of its kind in the Southern hemisphere – to the fleet of Prawn vessels sailing out of Durban and Tuna Pole vessels sailing out of the Cape, we are a family owned and run brand with a heart for service excellence and customer retention.

We are thrilled to introduce the youngest member of our brand family – our Concept Store in the Marine walk shopping center– Salta – in the next couple of weeks. We’ve taken the best parts of all we do to create an exciting multi-purpose retail outlet. At Tightline Salta, customers can browse our retail section, order freshly prepared sushi, enjoy an icy cocktail or perhaps a much-needed coffee, learn how to best fillet a fish, dine in and experience a dish off our Chef’s menu...all within a beautifully designed and appointed space. For those customers who prefer to order in, we have a dedicated delivery team member standing by.

We look forward to welcoming you into our home – see you soon!

    The good was perfect,however the restaurant was packed and rowdy, patriots were drinking and very loud. That dampens the whole dining experience,my friends and I couldn't hear each other. Maybe space out the tables a bit
