CO-OP HOOKS HIGH PROFILE AWARD FOR THIRD YEAR RUNNING

Coffs Harbour’s commercial fishers have hooked yet another major industry accolade.

For the third year running the local Fisherman’s Co-op has been named the best supplier at the Sydney Fish Market’s seafood excellence awards.

The co-op is now the second biggest supplier to the market.

It was also runner-up to the Newcastle Co-op in the category for Best Seafood.

Meanwhile the two co-ops will set aside their rivalry later this year when they collaborate on a trade trip to China.
