Our Story
Sapphire Sea is founded on a shared obsession for the pure and natural flavours of the sea.
It’s this obsession that led us to specialise in premium wild-caught Abalone, and Sashimi-grade Sea Urchin sourced from Australia’s untamed and fertile coastal waters.
The cool waters off Tasmania are some of the purest and nutrient rich in existence. This magical combination of natural elements is the perfect environment for Abalone and Sea Urchins to flourish.
Through artisan methods and heirloom recipes we perfectly capture and enhance their distinct flavour and quality.
Our Abalone is delicately flavoured by the cool, sapphire-coloured waters unique to Australia’s untamed Tasman Sea.
Wild-caught and hand-harvested
With local coastal knowledge, our Abalone divers skilfully navigate the rocky seabeds and kelp forests, hand-harvesting Abalone up to 15 metres below the water’s surface. Their profound connection to the natural cycles and rhythm of the sea allows them to know exactly the right place and time to harvest the precious Abalone at their peak.
Sustainably sourced for future generations
All our produce is carefully sourced using Australia’s sustainable fishing standards. Through these practices, we can ensure thriving ecosystems that continue to provide local fishing communities with an abundance of seafood long into the future.
