Women are of the sea, men are of the land, and everyone comes from Night Sky Country

In Tasmania, an island known by many names by many people – women are of the sea, men are of the land, and everyone comes from night sky country. 

Our ancestor women swam with woven baskets, skillfully levering abalone from rocks with using hand-crafted tools and placing them inside for safe handling.

This technique, rooted in cultural care and deep time sustainability, runs through our abalone harvesting process today, delivering a premium product to you.

Our abalone links your menu to the deep cultural heritage of Sea Country, offering your diners a unique experience.

You have the power to help us create more sustainable and equitable food systems. Spark connection, innovation and transformation.

Our Abalone

WILD CAUGHT, BLACKLIP & GREENLIP

Tasmanian Aboriginal Seafood is the only supplier of premium Tasmanian abalone, harvested with 40,000 years of tradition. By fishing sustainably and sharing our abalone locally, we’re creating food systems that heal Sea Country and strengthen communities. With its fine, delicate flavour, our abalone brings joy to every table and celebrates the essence of Sea Country.

Eating our abalone connects you to Sea Country, and an ancient practice going back thousands of generations.

Where the land meets the sea

Where the land meets the sea, living midden sites line the coast of Tasmania. They are not simply collections of shells from a meal or cultural practice. They are also places of creation, burial, markers for travel, living floors and sacred places.

All Tasmanian Aboriginal Seafood suppliers are traditional owners and continuing custodians, keeping our ancient foods on Country and managing the fishery according to our age old traditions.
