Since February 2000 when it was granted an exemption to its Open West Coast license in order to allow it to fish for Octopus, Fremantle Octopus has grown to become recognised as a leader in the fishing of Octopus.
Fremantle Octopus specialises in octopus fishing and the manufacture of processed raw and value-added octopus products for sale in both the Australian and Overseas markets. The company has not only created a sustainable octopus fishing industry in Western Australia where none previously existed, it has also built a thriving manufacturing operation that has a world reputation for high quality seafood products. All this whilst maintaining a sustainable fishery policy.
