Seafood industry awards

For the fourth consecutive time the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) has signed up as the Gold Sponsor for the 2017 Sydney Fish Market Seafood Excellence Awards.

The awards aim to highlight sustainably harvested seafood while providing businesses with recognition as industry frontrunners. NSW DPI works to increase the value of primary industries and drive economic growth across the state and engages with the seafood sector to promote industry development, natural resource management, research and food safety.

Held across 10 key categories, awards will be presented to industry participants who have performed outstandingly in fields including environmental practice, safety, seafood supply, seafood retail and seafood restaurants.

The awards will be held at Sydney Fish Market’s Sydney Seafood School, where the winners for each category will be announced. This event will bring together the industry’s leaders including commercial fishers, aquaculturists, retailers, wholesalers and restaurateurs as well as key government and environmental groups and the seafood media.
