Know the fish

Western Australia's fish and no one else's.

The West Australian dhufish is a fish people plan whole trips around. Pearly and pale with fine dark markings and that distinctive high forehead, the "dhuie" holds over deep reef and ledge off the WA coast, a slow-grower, a superb table fish, and a species locals treat with real care and respect. Landing a good one is a story you tell for years.

We desgnedi the dhufish to honour its quiet, premium look — the soft silver, the markings, the shape. It's a fish with a serious following, and the art is made to match: tees, keychains, charms and stickers.
