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!

    A friend had recently visited Tightline Salta, and recommended. I never go to Umhloti. I decided to try it out. I loved the whole scene. It was clean. The fish on display all looked exceptionally fresh - there was no fish smell. The waiters were great - passionate about making sure one had a good time. The food was excellent - of the best calamari tubes I ever had. The fish and chips was also excellent - the portion of hake was very generous. I was pleased to hear a Tightline Restaurant is open in Johannesburg and soon to be open in Cape Town.

    Dear Patrick, Thank you for your fantastic 5-star review. We’re delighted that you decided to visit us on a friend’s recommendation and even more pleased that your experience exceeded your expectations. It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the fresh fish display, the welcoming atmosphere, and the attentive service from our team. We’ll also be sure to share your compliments with our chefs, who will be thrilled to know the calamari tubes and fish and chips made such a lasting impression. Thank you for your kind support, and we hope to welcome you again soon, whether in Umdloti, Johannesburg, or one of our future locations. Kind regards, The Tightline Team
