About

Dedication and Innovation

Conway’s is a Western Suburbs institution supplying quality seafood for over 60 years.

Conway’s have always been recognised innovators and leaders in wholesale and retail seafood markets. Those who buy seafood from Conway’s in Footscray know the name is synonymous with excellence.

History

Way back in 1928, Uncle Nick arrived to Melbourne from a tiny little village Agiasma located in north western Greece. Typical of many migrants, young Nick together with his Irish sweetheart Eileen worked very hard and eventually opened up two seafood stores in the Caulfield area. Nick’s nephew Con, joined his uncle in 1954 and through hard work and dedication bought one of the seafood stores off Uncle Nick. Ever since, Con has been involved in the Victorian seafood industry in some capacity or other throughout  the years.

In 1969, Con Goulas started Conway Fish Trading in Footscray and provided fresh seafood to businesses near and far. Nearly 70 years later, the same fresh seafood is available to the public through Conway’s Wingfield Street  store. Thinking ahead, Con’s son Dimitrios added two large fryers to the store and voila Hot Fish was created and now is a popular destination for “new” fashion fish and chips fans, using Hi Oleic Canola oil for frying and Extra Virgin olive oil in salads .

In Loving Memory of Con Goulas (1934–2026)

A Legacy That Lives On

On 16 February 2026, we sadly said goodbye to our beloved founder, Con Goulas, who passed away at the age of 91.

Con was more than the founder of Conway Fish Trading. He was a devoted family man, a respected businessman and a cherished member of Footscray’s Greek community. His passion for the seafood industry, dedication to his family and commitment to hard work helped shape Conway Fish Trading into the business it is today.

His legacy continues through his son Dimitrios, daughter-in-law Stacey and grandson Alexandros, who proudly carry on the family business and the values he established.Con will always be remembered for his generosity, determination and the lasting contribution he made to the seafood industry and the Footscray community. His spirit will forever remain a part of Conway Fish Trading.
