Business for Sale
This is a long-established oyster processing, retail, wholesale and event-catering business with a trading history of more than 60 years in Lake Macquaire, NSW. The business services retail customers, hospitality venues and private and corporate events and has built a strong reputation for product quality, reliable supply and operational consistency. Long-standing relationships with a broad network of oyster farmers across NSW and interstate support year-round supply and reduce exposure to environmental disruptions affecting individual growing regions.
​
The business operates across three complementary income streams:
  • Wholesale is the largest contributor, supplying opened and unopened oysters to hospitality customers through an established delivery network.
  • Retail operates from a modern shopfront supported by online ordering and home delivery, offering a wide range of fresh seafood, frozen products, condiments and branded merchandise.
  • The event catering arm provides live oyster shucking and curated seafood experiences for weddings and functions, operating under a separately branded and trademarked identity with demonstrated demand and minimal marketing to date.

Oyster supply - Crookhaven River

I’m Sonja from Oyster Mama at Greenwell Point. Johnny and I supply off‑the‑slats, graded Sydney Rock spat to farms in our estuary and Merimbula, and we’re looking to expand. We can catch, grow, grade and deliver spat to your specifications - no more stripping, lifting heavy packs or scraping rails. The Crookhaven River produces hardy, low‑mortality spat, available straight off the slats or shaped in any size. 

We currently have wild‑caught spat available 15-25mm, 25-25mm graded into the two sizes, but delivered as one lot at $400 per 40L bag. 

We also have shaped juveniles from last year in various sizes.

References available. Your business is appreciated.
