Golden Rules when Buying or Collecting Seafood
According to South African law any person wishing to engage in any form of fishing should be in possession of the appropriate permit.

Some species of fish are designated as recreational species only – these are species that are unable to withstand the pressures of commercial fishing and are often important as sport or trophy fish

For recreational fishers, catches of most linefish species are limited by daily bag limits, and/or minimum sizes

No fish caught by a recreational fisher (including spearfishers) may be sold

All fish available at seafood retailers are supposed to have been obtained from licensed commercial fishers, and these retailers have to retain proof of purchase, including the licence holder’s name, species of fish, and quantities bought.
