South Australian Seafood Awards 2011

Glen and Tracy Hill, proprietors of Coorong Wild Seafood were thrilled to be recognised as one of South Australia’s top seafood businesses.  They shared their win with Clean Seas Tuna, the first time a joint award has been presented.

Coorong Wild Seafood is based at Meningie and started when fisherman Glen decided to process his own catch.  Soon wife Tracy left fulltime employment to join Glen in the filleting room.  The business has grown over the past 15 years and they now employ six local people, and purchase the additional fish they need from several other Lakes and Coorong fishermen.

They have moved into further value adding with a range of smoked mullet fillets which along with their frozen vacuum packed convenient packs are sold at their two Farmers market stalls and almost 45 retail outlets in the Adelaide and regional South Australia.

Recently they have sent product to Perth which makes it their third interstate market.  However they are proud to say that their fish will always be available locally.

“It is important for our town and the state to have Coorong Mullet available” said Tracy.  “People come from all over Australia to taste and buy mullet and some of the best chefs in Australia are serving Coorong Mullet in their restaurant, which is good advertising for the region.”

This is the second award for the pair with Glen winning the 2007 Leading Seafood Producer Award.
