ABOUT US

Saltees Fish is a dedicated fish wholesaler, operating from Kilmore Quay in the South East of Ireland.

It is owned by the O'Flaherty Brothers and was founded in 1996. Its principle role was originally the sale and distribution of white fish caught on our family owned beam trawlers. More recently we have marketed fish from other locally owned boats. Since the year 2000, we have acquired three twin rig trawlers dedicated to catching fresh prawns.

Today O' Flaherty Bros operate over 10 beam trawlers, 3 twin riggers and a pelagic vessel.

From humble beginnings working from the old net room of Kilmore Quay Fishermans Coop, we now trade from a modern building, incorporating 400 m2 of office space situated above 800 m2 of cold stores, all meeting EU regulations. The building also features up to date loading bays, an ice plant and storage areas.

Saltees Fish presently directly employs 20 staff at Kilmore Quay, and indirectly provides employment for over 100 fishermen. Control of the organisation remains with the O'Flaherty Brothers themselves, Brendan and John who are skippers, Seamus, Denis and William are shore engineers and Michael who runs marketing and distribution
