The Woodstock Exchange

66 Albert Road, Woodstock

Cape Town

Ocean Jewels' is a local women owned Woodstock based business run by Jules, a chef whose father was a fisherman. Alongside fresh local green listed fish, she creates a huge range of deliciously prepared meal options. She also imports several types of fish and condiments.

She never buys:

- Fish caught illegally by unlicensed fishermen

- Imported previously frozen and defrosted

- Imported farmed fish that's not ASC certified

- Fish on Red list - projected species. Illegal to trade in commercially

- Red Roman, red stump - since these Fish take a long time to mature and are overfished and endangered"

She buys Yellowtail and some of her Tuna direct from small fishermen. Line fish - Silvers, Cob, Cape salmon, all come from Local fishermen/traditional fisherman but as they are up the coast (gaansbaai, Arneston, langebaan) she buys through transporters of these fish. Her Hake, Kingklip and Angelfish come from bigger local boats but there is no small alternative. Tuna, Swordfish, Marlin and Dorado come from bigger Longline boats operating out of Cape Town Harbour
