fish fraud!
Believe it or not, more Chris Bolton Coral Trout is sold than is actually caught. Well-intentioned chefs receive what they believe are his fish and wonder why the quality is not up to Chris’s standards. That’s because it’s not always his fish! The Happy Fish process is intrinsic to eliminating Fish Fraud and ensuring verifiable sustainability, provenance and quality.

3 generations of fishing in the blood
“From the age of 5, all I wanted to do was to go fishing. I have spent more days on and in the Great Barrier Reef than I have on dry land! … Both my grandfathers were fishermen, my father and my uncles are fishermen and all catch fish in the same areas of the Great Barrier Reef and catchment that I fish today.”
