Fishermen gathering the morning catch on the Vizhinjam coast

Careers · Vizhinjam

Come do work that belongs here.

Hooked Harbor is a small coastal kitchen. We buy close, cook simply and price fairly. We hire people who want that work to reach more local tables—with care, not noise.

Why join us

This is not a hotel job. It is a coastal one.

We started so seafood from Vizhinjam could be for the people who live here. The kitchen is small. The route is short. The standard is honest food and a fair price.

If you want a uniform, a script and a title that sounds bigger than the work, this is not the place. If you want to help a local kitchen grow without losing its sense, we should talk.

  • Respect the people who bring in the catch.
  • Cook and sell as if the food is going to your own table.
  • Tell the truth about what is available, what it costs and when it will be ready.

Open now

Open seats. Real work.

Pay is fair for the work and talked about clearly once we meet. Experience helps. Care for this coast matters more.

On the road

Vizhinjam, Kovalam and nearby South Kerala

Field sales executive

Take kitchen food, pickles, Harbor Card and trade seafood to people who should already know us—and find new, honest ways for a local catch to travel.

The work

  • Open new local routes for Hooked Harbor: homes, homestays, offices, small hotels, fish counters and the businesses around this coast.
  • Try ideas that actually sell here—standing orders, tasting plates, pickle jars for homestays, Harbor Card sign-ups at the door—not a luxury script.
  • Tell the truth about what is cooking today, the price and when it can arrive. Keep the promises you make.
  • Bring what people ask for back to the kitchen, so we cook for real demand instead of guessing.

Who this is for

  • Comfortable on your own two-wheeler around Vizhinjam, Kovalam and southern Trivandrum.
  • Malayalam first, with enough English for visitors. You like talking to people more than sitting at a desk.
  • Curious rather than pushy. You would rather find a useful local idea than repeat a sales pitch.
  • Organised enough to keep a simple book of who you met, what they need and what was promised.

In the kitchen

Hooked Harbor Kitchen, Vizhinjam

Kitchen chef

Cook the day's catch with familiar Kerala flavours, care in every pan, and respect for the people who will eat it.

The work

  • Cook from what the coast makes available—not a hotel menu that ignores the morning landing.
  • Keep flavours familiar, portions honest and every plate tasted before it leaves the kitchen.
  • Work clean: a station that would pass a close look, FSSAI-minded habits, no waste of good fish.
  • Stand in the rush without losing patience. Local families eat this food every day. It has to stay worthy of that.

Who this is for

  • A cook who likes seafood and Kerala home flavours, and who still gets pleasure from a simple fish curry done well.
  • Happy to cook with love and without fuss. This is a community kitchen, not a stage.
  • Calm with heat, knives and timing. Proud of clean work as much as flavour.
  • Willing to learn the day's catch, the portions we serve and the prices we keep fair.
