Spotlight on Ocean King

A Brilliant Partnership with Ocean King

At Wilson Vale, great food starts with great ingredients, so we’re delighted to work with Ocean King, a trusted family business supplying premium Far East Asian ingredients. Ocean King brings something genuinely special and authentic to the table. They stock quality ingredients, full of flavour, including products you simply wouldn’t find on stocked elsewhere. For our chefs, that means more inspiration, more creativity and more opportunity to build exciting menus packed with delicious memorable dishes.

 

Steven Thai, Managing Director at Ocean King, said:
“The best thing about Wilson Vale is that they are full of skilled chefs who know how to use our ingredients.”

That creativity is a big part of what makes the partnership work so well. One of our Wilson Vale Chef’s comments: “Being able to design your own menus and be creative is something chefs really want, and Wilson Vale offering that does separate them from other companies.”

Melissa Wallbank, Wilson Vale MD, adds:
“It’s brilliant that we’re able to use such an authentic supplier like Steven and Ocean King. They’ve really added something special to the Wilson Vale mix. It’s a really good fit for us as a business.”

Ocean King’s story began in 1997 as a one-man seafood delivery service and has grown into a foodservice wholesaler, supplying restaurants and caterers with fresh and frozen products. Despite that growth, they’ve stayed true to what matters most to them with a personal service, reliable delivery and high quality standards. Their SALSA accreditation gives added confidence in the quality, traceability and food safety standards behind every order.

For us, this partnership is about working with people who care deeply about food, quality and helping chefs do what they do best. And that makes Ocean King a very welcome part of our Wilson Vale supplier network.
