Need

Throughout 2017-2019 FRDC established the Fish and Chip awards as a way to create debate around seafood, raise its profile and use this as a vehicle to promote information about sustainability, fisheries management and the R&D being undertaken to underpin it. The approach worked very well generating more than 90,000 votes, hundreds of media articles and millions of consumer views of that media coverage.

There is a need to ensure the base developed in the first three years is not lost and that SIA continues to build on it and centralise consumer-facing activities under the industry’s brand, Great Australian Seafood.

SIA will continue to deliver retailers, consumers and media information on the sustainability of Australian seafood, underutilised species, FishNames, CoOL, along with any other relevant R&D and extension.

In this initial year of SIA management, we will investigate the opportunities for sponsorship of the program and develop a timeline for a self-sustaining model.

There is also a need for SIA to demonstrate how an activity such as foodservice and consumer awards can deliver tangible results. To do this, SIA is looking to capture consumer opinion, engage retailers and measure behaviour.

Objectives

1. Transfer the Fish and Chip Awards from FRDC to SIA
2. Rebadge the Fish and Chip Awards as the Great Australian Seafood Fish and Chip Awards
3. Raise awareness of Great Australian Seafood as a source of seafood information for retailers and consumers
4. Drive consumer and retailer engagement with Great Australian Seafood and the Australian seafood industry
5. Improve consumer awareness of the sustainability of the Australian seafood industry
6. Maintain the database of fish and chip shops, and consumers
7. Develop sponsorship opportunities
8. Develop awards Legacy and Contingency Plan.

Summary

The Fish and Chip Awards are a celebration of Australia’s iconic Fish and Chips, and draws focus to the sustainability of Australian seafood, underutilised species, Fish Names, and Country of Origin Labelling in foodservice. The awards are popular with consumers, retailers, and media alike.
Fisheries Research and Development Corporation had run the Fish and Chip Awards since 2017. In 2021 the awards were transferred to Seafood Industry Australia (SIA) to run under the industry’s consumer-facing brand Great Australian Seafood and renamed the Great Australian Fish and Chip Awards.
This report provides an overview of the transfer of the awards to SIA and delivery of the Great Australian Fish and Chip Awards in 2021 and 2022.

Need

Summary

This project aimed to develop ‘how to’ guide for small to medium businesses to assist in navigating the Food Standards Code as well as a simple promotional brochure framework, using Augusta Wild Caught Fisheries to illustrate how it could be used in practice. This guide aims to help small to medium sized seafood businesses to promote and market their products by:

  1. Outlining the chapters of the Food Standards Code (the Code) that relate to food sold in Australia
  2. Providing some information about common microbiological testing
  3. Including a format of a brochure that businesses could use to promote the health benefits of their products.

Small to medium businesses now have a resource to assist them in navigating through the Australian Food Standards Code. This resource will help them to understand the requirements of food labelling within the Code and includes template to assist in developing a marketing brochure.
