The Story Behind Our Crumbed Australian Whiting Fillets

Every bite of our Australian Crumbed Whiting Fillets tells a bigger story — of legacy, sustainability, and local craftsmanship.

At the heart of this product is our exclusive partnership with the Bagnato family, one of Australia’s most respected names in commercial fishing. Led by third-generation fisherman Paul Bagnato, the team operates from the Illawarra Star, catching up to 3 tonnes of wild Australian whiting each week off the pristine eastern coastline.

But the journey doesn’t end at sea — it’s just the beginning.

Once landed, each fish is expertly filleted, hand-trimmed, and prepared right here in Australia. No shortcuts. No offshore processing. Just clean, traceable seafood handled by experienced local hands.

From there, our whiting is delicately crumbed to golden perfection, using a signature coating designed to crisp up beautifully in the oven or pan. The result is a light, crunchy exterior and tender, flaky fish inside — restaurant quality, made easy for your kitchen or retail shelf.

Packaged and sealed locally, this product reflects everything we stand for at Porte D’Mer:

– Wild-caught Australian seafood

– Sustainably sourced

– Processed and crumbed locally

– Delivered fresh and fast

Whether you’re a chef looking for consistency or a retailer seeking quality with a story, our Crumbed Whiting Fillets offer more than just convenience — they offer authentic Australian provenance, from ocean to oven.
