Ready, steady, plate-up!
Surely everyone agrees that food tastes better when it's nicely presented. You know where to go when fresh seafood is the go, so let's talk about food presentation and 'plating up'. Here are some basic rules:
Set the table properly
It’s not only a question of what is on your plate, don’t forget to consider nice placemats, matching accessories and cutlery in right order.
Choose the right size of your plates
Are your serving plates big enough? Let each food item stand out. Avoid oversized plates as they make food look tiny.
Odd is interesting
Believe or not, food items look generally more interesting on your plate when they’re in sets of odd numbers.
Balance your components
Don’t get carried away. Remember the three core components of your dish: the starch, protein and sauce. Add some veggies if you can as well as garnish, but don’t overdo it. Make sure you have a combination of colour and texture.
Realize how your food items relate
Grilled salmon and a lemon wedge… if you know what we mean.
Do not pile up
The new trend is about deconstructing so you can easier see the key ingredients. No shovel or digger required.
Enjoy it
It’s so true that we eat first with our eyes. Slow down and don’t eat with your keyboard instead of a placemat.

Buying fresh fish and seafood
- For whole fish always look for bright eyes, a clean smell and bright red gills
- For fillets and steaks, look for firm, clean flesh
- For shellfish, look for shells that are closed and feel full
- Always buy as fresh as possible, ideally the same day you plan to cook it
Omega 3 Benefits I.
Fish is known to be a great source of Omega-3 fats. Omega-3 is thought to work by:
- lowering bad cholesterol and other fats, while simultaneously raising good cholesterol levels.
- reducing the clogging up of coronary arteries
- encouraging a regular heart rhythm
- reducing blood pressure
DO YOUR HEART A FAVOUR, HAVE A PIECE OF FISH!
Once upon a time...
Sometimes pictures say the story better than thousand words. Look at these amazing old photographs of Cappo Brothers.
From humble beginnings…
The Cappo family were early Italian migrants, with our original business being a partnership of six brothers founded in 1919 at Port Pirie, South Australia. They were pioneers of the South Australian Seafood Processing Industry. A year later, Cappo's shifted to Grote Street in Adelaide operating under a canvas marquee. The business continued to source fresh seafood from the South Australian coast and establish an interstate network. The business was incorporated in 1968 as a second generation of Cappos took the reins. The 70s saw Cappo's expand distribution to the foodservice sector, assisted by opening our current day factory located on Glen Osmond Road, Parkside.
The 80s saw a major recognition of Cappo Bros quality and service when the firm was appointed seafood suppliers to Coles Supermarkets across South Australia and the Northern Territory. A continuing partnership valued to this very day!
The late 80s and Cappo's became a founding shareholder of the National Australian Food Service Distribution Association (NAFDA), ensuring the firm’s pricing was exceptionally competitive in the marketplace.
Today…
Cappo's is a 3rd generation family managed business and supported by a fantastic team of 30+ people. The business has large fully equipped Foodservice warehouse at Camden Park, servicing clients around Australia and overseas.
The firm has also attained both Quality Assurance (AS/NZS ISO 9001:2000) and HACCP accreditation, plus has attained an A-Grade rating for one of the World's Highest Food Safety standards, BRC.
The mid-2000s marked the exciting opening of Cappo's factory direct Gourmet Store on Glen Osmond Road, offering a complete range of complementary seafood products. A one-stop-shop! Cappo's fish and seafood products sold today remain primarily sourced from South Australian waters, with supplementary stocks and regional species sourced from other Australian waters and the finest frozen seafood the World has to offer.
Cappo's buying team can be seen in the Fish markets at sunrise to capture the freshest fish off the fishing boats. Our processing team are filleting by 6am in the morning. Our retail and food service customers then enjoy fresh products on the shelves or delivered to their doors starting from 8am in the morning.
Now that is fresh! That's service. That's passion for seafood.
Above and beneath the sea we are as happy as a little fish can be!
