WE DID IT. 🏆

Victorian Abalone Australia has won the 2026 National Seafood Industry Award for Primary Producer (Small). 🐚

Honestly, we’re a little lost for words.

To be recognised at a national level for something we have poured so much of ourselves into is incredibly special.

This business has taught us more than we ever expected — about resilience, patience, hard work, taking the good days with the difficult ones, and most importantly, about the people and communities that make the Australian seafood industry what it is.

There have been plenty of moments where we’ve wondered whether we were getting it right. So to stand in Sydney tonight and hear our name called is something we’ll never forget! #proudlywildcaught #proudlyvictorian @seafoodindustryaustralia by @victorianabalone

We’re heading to Sydney next week for the National Seafood Industry Conference, where the winner will be announced.

We are genuinely grateful for the journey that has brought us to this point. For everything this industry has taught us in our first year, the challenges that have pushed us to grow, the people we’ve met along the way, and the opportunity to do what we love every day in the waters we call home.

We’re proud of how far we’ve come, whatever the outcome.
We are especially proud to represent Victorian seafood, and incredibly thankful for everyone who has supported us along the way.

See you in Sydney. ❤️

Big year for us at Victorian Abalone Australia.

We’ve learnt a lot, faced new challenges, and still have so much more to learn — but it has been an absolute pleasure bringing fresh, wild-caught Victorian abalone to the Victorian community.

To be recognised with the Seafood Industry Victoria Primary Producer Award 2026 is something we are incredibly proud of and grateful for.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way — our customers, friends, family and the wider seafood community. We can’t wait to see what’s ahead. 🌊🦪

From the ocean to the dinner table!

One of our favourite customers Julie cooked up this beauty — abalone braised with shiitake mushrooms and oyster sauce. 🤤

Tender abalone caught this week, rich savoury sauce and those beautiful shiitake mushrooms soaking up all the flavour… now that’s how you make the most of wild-caught Australian abalone.

We love seeing what you create with your catch! ❤️

Liam is down on the reef, but he’s definitely not alone… 👀🐚

How many abalone can you spot on the rock?

Not every abalone we find in Victoria is a Blacklip or Greenlip…

This is a Brownlip Abalone (Haliotis conicopora), a species predominantly found in the waters of Western Australia, where it supports its own commercial fishery.

Every now and then, we’re lucky enough to come across one here in Victoria. They’re an uncommon find and always a great reminder of the diversity of Australia’s marine life.

One of the easiest ways to identify a Brownlip Abalone is by the distinctive inverted Christmas tree-like frills along the edge of its lip. Once you’ve seen them, they’re hard to miss!

It’s always a privilege to encounter these unique animals while diving.

Have you ever seen a Brownlip Abalone before?

With the end of the financial year approaching and some rough weather forecast for the coming days, this week is looking like it will be our final dive week of the season.

If you’ve been thinking about ordering fresh, wild-caught Victorian abalone, now is the time. Availability is becoming limited and spots are filling quickly. Don’t miss out—secure your order ASAP before the weather and season bring us to a close! by @victorianabalone
