Biography

I love seafood and it’s a business that is complex and challenging, every day. There are different species, with different names in different countries, different ways of catching them, and different products to sell. It’s not as simple as people think – it has rigour and process. I’ve lived in Sydney almost all of my life, and have even fished its waters. Dad used to take me and my brothers fishing off the rocks around Sydney’s coast. I guess because I was a girl, he gave me a hand line while my brothers got the reels. It didn’t make any difference, as I still caught the most Bream.
