Tasmanian Seafood Awards 2009
The Tasmanian Seafood Industry Council (TSIC) hosted a very successful Seafood Awards Dinner at the Hobart Function and Conference Centre on 27 June 2009. Not only was the food fantastic and the band, The Robinsons, great, the Master of Ceremonies, Admiral Andrew Colrain, had the audience in stitches with his ready repartee and his shanties.
