Pacific Reef Fisheries

10 th President's Medal Pacific Reef Fisheries, QLD Sashimi Grade Cobia www.pacificreef.com.au "When they announced we had won, I almost had to pinch myself. I believed in our product, but we were in such esteemed company that we never presumed we would take first place.  Publicity around the awards has been extremely helpful when dealing with new distributors, restaurants and chefs. They have either heard of our cobia because of our achievements or are keen to know more particularly because the President’s Medal is such a revered accolade and a known indicator of high-quality produce.  The win will help us continue to grow and ensure we are in the right market. We were just starting to gain a little exposure at prestige events such as the Spring Racing Carnival and Grand Prix in Melbourne, but the President’s Medal is opening more doors for us, creating a wider range of opportunities for our fine cobia to be featured and enjoyed."
