Somerset West Fisheries

Running a fisheries operation in Strand means managing cold chains, early starts, and the realities of our winter swells and summer crowds. Stock arrives by the week; storage space is always tight; customers arrive on unpredictable schedules. Whether it's restocking ice daily, handling cash from weekend tourists, or keeping perishables at the right temperature when load shedding hits, a convenience store in this trade works differently from one serving just foot traffic. The rhythm is shaped by fishing tides, delivery schedules, and how far supplies can travel before they spoil.
