Our seafood division comprises the operations of both Amaltal (frozen at sea) and Talley's (land-based).
We are proud to offer a wide selection of the world's highest quality and sustainable seafood.
The harvesting and processing of New Zealand seafood is strictly regulated to ensure the highest standard of environmental sustainability, food safety and quality. Our factories are government-licensed and all at-sea and onshore facilities are regularly inspected and monitored in compliance with applicable national and international standards.
The operations of Amaltal are centered on a fleet of deep-sea fishing vessels that provide premium frozen at sea product. The Amaltal fleet is based out of Port Nelson, where large cool storage and providing facilities accommodate the vessels.
On the other hand, our fishing operations are centered on New Zealand's inshore fishing fleet. We have receiving depots at key ports around the South Island for the unloading of fresh fish. The efficient processing of these landings by our own skilled workforce allows us to airfreight the freshest fish to key markets around the world and into New Zealand's domestic markets.
Talley's deep sea fleet presently consists of four freezer trawlers, two joint venture longline factory vessels (which have full Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries packhouse licenses), one purse seine freezer vessel, one joint venture factory vessel fishing in Argentina and three fresh fish trawlers.

Talley's deep sea factory freezer trawlers are all approximately 60 to 70 metres in length and go to sea for six weeks at a time with a crew of around 35 men and women. They process fish into fillets within hours of being caught, processing the catch onboard to customers specifications - frozen-at-sea fillet, block or head and gutted form. Onboard fishmeal plants process the waste product so everything is utilised.
