Shark Bay in Western Australia’s spectacular Gascoyne region features over 1,500 kilometres of pristine coastline. It’s where rugged red cliffs and sun-bleached white sand meet the almost transparent azure waters of the Indian Ocean – providing perfect conditions for a vast range of premium quality culinary fish and crustacean species.

Abacus Crab is produced by Abacus Fisheries

With its firm texture and sweet, clean taste, Shark Bay’s Blue Swimmer Crabs are highly sought-after by discerning buyers throughout the world. Abacus Crab are harvested in a tightly controlled fishing environment and immediately sedated, cooked, graded, packed and blast frozen at the AQIS approved Abacus processing facility ready for domestic and international export markets.

Recognised industry leader

While Abacus Fisheries was established in the mid-80s, the Jecks family began fishing in the Carnarvon region in the late 1970s. Over this 40 year period, Abacus Fisheries has received no less than 12 industry peer awards. In 2006, Abacus Fisheries director Peter Jecks was recognised as an Icon of Industry when he received the Michael Kailis Award. Peter still stands as the youngest ever recipient of this coveted Australian seafood industry award.

The end of the season is approaching. Amazing how The end of the season is approaching. Amazing how the new pots have worked. Even the barnacles seem right at home. Currently getting Version 5 of the pots made an we are hoping this will be the final design. Loving the results and have been told the LANDLINE story on the pots is going to air during July. Exciting times and amazing outcomes using a pot which has no metal other than the stainless steel bolts has effectively doubled our daily catch.
