Three Generations
on the Water
Our Story
San Antone Food Group began over 30 years ago in Australia, building on a rich family legacy. The original Antonio Pinzone immigrated from Filicudi, a small island off the coast of Sicily, in the late 1930s. He quickly became one of the key figures in the fishing industry in Melbourne, contributing to the growth and development of Australia's seafood sector.
The Pinzone Brothers
In the early 1980s, Garry and Marilyn Pinzone moved to Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast, where Garry played a pivotal role in building a thriving, internationally recognised fishing industry. This foundation laid the groundwork for what would eventually become San Antone Food Group — a name that honours Garry's father, Antonio.
“In tribute to his father, Garry named all of his fishing boats San Antone — blending ‘San’ with ‘Antone,’ creating a lasting symbol of respect and family pride.”
The name is a heartfelt nod to the past — to the man who began it all — and a reflection of the values that have carried through generations: quality, hard work, and an enduring connection to the sea.
