Queenscliff Seafood Feast

The annual Queenscliff Seafood Feast is Australia’s biggest culinary celebration with the freshest of seafood available, with all proceeds going to the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.

Held on Good Friday the event is recognized by the Australian Fisheries Management Authority as the largest and best seafood event in Australia and attracts thousands to the family friendly day in search for some tasty morsels.

The Seafood Feast began as a picnic in the park and has grown into an event that attracts over 15,000 people. With the help of a team of dedicated volunteers the event has raised over $500,000 for the Royal Children's Hospital.


Queenscliff Seafood Show

The show consists of industry exhibitors from all over Australasia showcasing:

* aquaculture, commercial, fresh, processed, frozen, and value-added seafood services

* storage, processing, manufacturing and handling equipment

* seafood-related services including freight-handling, insurance, packaging and information technology.

According to Roy Palmer, Chairman of the International Seafood & Health Conference and CEO for Seafood Experience Australia Ltd, “The Seafood Show is an outstanding event for the promotion of commercially harvested Seafood and the health and nutritional benefits, essential for the well-being of the community. Combining these elements where the benefactors are charities, makes the Seafood Show a logical and rewarding concept which is strongly supported by the seafood industry.”
