ClearCut Seafood Training

What a fin-tastic day out at The Fish Girl’s Seafood Showcase at Manly Harbour Village! 🐟🦐🦞

Despite a few rain clouds trying to steal the show, the waterfront was buzzing as we celebrated Queensland seafood and caught up with some brilliant industry friends.

Our Director, Meaghan Dodd, enjoyed plenty of familiar catch-ups with Umar Nguyen Nguyen, Claire, Lisa and Jayne, as well as meeting Dave and John from the Moreton Bay Seafood Industry Association (MBSIA).

Always great to get out, support our industry and celebrate the people who make it so special!

Our Director, Meaghan Dodd, attended MINTRAC's Meat & Greet: Networking Mixer last week and caught up with Mark and Lyle.

Although we were like a fish out of water at a meat-focused event, the evening was filled with meaningful conversations, valuable insights, and new connections. Events like these remind us of the importance of collaboration, continuous learning, and building strong professional relationships even across different industry sectors.

Thank you to the organisers and everyone who made the event engaging and worthwhile!
