15 December 2021 - Fresh from the Boat - Seafood Permits. Local fresh fish sold direct from the boat.
Seafood Industry Victoria is working with the Victorian Fisheries Authority to promote permits for fresh locally caught seafood to be sold directly from boats. Permit holders can sell fish species such as snapper, whiting, calamari and gummy shark for direct sale from the dock to tourists and locals keen to sample locally sourced fresh fish, as well as local businesses such as restaurants and supermarkets.

Fish caught under the fresh from the boat permits can only be sold locally – to restaurants and businesses within 30km of the home port e.g. Apollo Bay, Mallacoota, Portland, Port Fairy, San Remo and Queenscliff.
Local sales of seafood fresh from the boat mean more healthy options for local communities and more opportunities for fishers to create and develop a local sales network.
For further information, call the VFA Commercial Licensing Team on 03 8392 6860
 or email Commercial.Licensing@vfa.vic.gov.au.
