ABALOBI Market 4+

Reimagine a more responsible (sea)food system.

Get the finest local seafood delivered to your doorstep – along with a story that matters. ABALOBI Marketplace connects you to premium, responsibly-caught seafood sourced directly from small-scale fishers. By ordering our fully traceable 'Fish With A Story' products you will not only receive top-quality seafood, you will also be joining a movement to drive ecological, economic and social change in small-scale fisheries.


• Fish With A Story: Our products are fully traceable 'from hook to cook'. You can scan a QR Code accompanying your order to find out the full Story behind your seafood. You can trace the fish back to who caught it, where, when and how it was caught – it has a social and ecological Story. You can even message the fisher who caught it!
• Convenience and Variety: Choose from fresh, whole catch of the day, portioned and vacuum-sealed deli options, and traditional coastal pantry products produced by women in small-scale fishing communities. We feature a diverse and seasonal basket of species, celebrating what the ocean can sustainably offer. This includes many lesser-known species that are undervalued but rich in flavour.
• Eco-Friendly Packaging: Our Convenience Range now comes in ocean-friendly, biodegradable packaging that is 100% natural and home-compostable!
• Flexible Payment Options: Pay seamlessly with SnapScan or PayFast (credit card or instant EFT).
• User-Friendly Interface: Easily register, edit your profile, manage delivery preferences, and explore curated recipes within the app.
