Sustainable Seafood

Seafood Sourced Responsibly

Our Commitment

Good Food Starts with Good Sourcing

At Sage Yellowfin, sustainable sourcing isn't a marketing position — it's how we've always operated. The quality of what arrives on your plate depends entirely on the quality and care of what arrives in our kitchen. We work with suppliers who share our values: traceability, responsible fishing practices, and respect for the marine environment that makes Queensland seafood world-class.

Queensland is home to some of the most pristine seafood fishing grounds in the world. Moreton Bay, Hervey Bay, the Coral Sea, the Gulf of Carpentaria — these waters produce the Moreton Bay bugs, king prawns, barramundi, and scallops that define our menu. We take that seriously.

What We Source

Queensland Seafood, Done Right

🦐
Queensland King Prawns
Wild-caught from Queensland waters — sustainably harvested with strict catch limits and independently monitored by the Queensland Department of Agriculture.
🦞
Moreton Bay Bugs
Slipper lobster from Moreton Bay — one of the most sustainably managed fisheries in Australia. Caught by licensed operators with size and season restrictions.
🦪
Fresh Oysters
Our oysters come from certified sustainable oyster farms — grown in clean, tidal waters with natural filtration. Freshly shucked to order, never pre-opened.
🐟
Barramundi
Australian barramundi, either wild-caught from the Gulf of Carpentaria or responsibly farmed. We rotate suppliers based on seasonal availability and catch sustainability.
🐙
Fremantle Octopus
Wild-caught off the Western Australian coast using traditional methods. Fremantle octopus is among the most sustainably harvested seafood in the country.
🌿
Seasonal Menu Changes
We adjust our menu throughout the year to reflect seasonal availability. If a species needs to rest, it comes off the menu — simple as that.
Beyond the Plate

How We Operate Responsibly

Sustainability at Sage Yellowfin extends beyond the seafood. We minimise food waste through daily prep practices, work with local produce suppliers to reduce transport emissions, use compostable packaging for takeaway, and continually look for ways to reduce our environmental footprint without compromising what makes dining here special.

We're a South Bank restaurant — we sit on the edge of the Brisbane River Parklands. The health of Queensland's waterways and marine ecosystems is personal to us, not just professional.
