About Us
Gaolathle is a passionate fresh fish and seafood supplier that runs its own deli store outlets and has a presence in the bigger retail supermarkets. Before our business started to grow and expand, we exported and supplied all our fish directly to other fish outlets. After noticing an increase in demand for our products from the general public, we decided to launch our own deli stores in 2005 and meet the customer face-to-face.
It has been an exciting journey since then. We have owned and operated our own fishing vessels for the last 5 years which has given us a competitive edge when it comes to giving our customers qualified expertise and advice on fresh fish enquiries.
Jose Moniz has steadily grown it to three Gaolathle store outlets that are located in Woodstock (our flagship store), Monte Vista and Strand.
Gaolathle has grown its staff compliment substantially in order to service the customer more effectively. Our staff are dedicated and committed to growing the Fish4Africa brand and have largely contributed to our success today.
Our team consists of highly skilled and experienced individuals, some who are qualified skippers and have an intricate understanding of the fishing industry and its operations.
Gaolathle in bigger retail supermarkets
As our business started to expand, we recognised there was a need to supply the local market and ensure food security. This created an opportunity to supply the bigger supermarkets with our fresh fish and seafood products as part of a wider distribution.
The initiative to partner with retail outlets was undertaken by Nicolette De Freitas (Operations Manager), who is now responsible for the retail distribution side of the business, supplying select SuperSpar and Pick n Pay outlets as well as managing some of their fish counters.
