Awards to fish out the best seafood in NSW

Nominations are open for the 2019 Sydney Fish Market Seafood Excellence Awards, which will be held at the Maritime Museum in Sydney on 25 July.

NSW is Sydney Fish Market’s largest supply region, with more than 52% of all seafood traded through the auction each year, reeling in the equivalent of 41,416,576 seafood meals.

Held on 25 July, the awards recognise the seafood industry’s top players across 14 categories for their contribution to the national economy, professionalism and commitment to supplying high-quality seafood to local, national and international markets.

Four new award categories introduced in 2019 include the Young Achiever Award, People Development Award, Promotion Award and the Research, Development and Extension Award.

“We are looking forward to receiving this year’s nominations to see the people and businesses who go above and beyond to help make the seafood industry the best it can be,” said Sydney Fish Market General Manager Bryan Skepper.

“One of the categories that is hotly contested is the ‘Best Retailer at Sydney Fish Market award’ and with six standout retailers specialising in seafood on site we are looking forward to seeing who will take out the prize this year.”
