Seafood festival back on the menu

So you love your seafood? But want to go beyond flake and chips?

Whelks, sea urchins and abalone will be among the highlights of the Wild Harvest Seafood Festival, which is returning to Mallacoota on November 11, 12 and 13.

The inaugural Wild Harvest festival in 2019 was a big hit that enhanced the small Gippsland town's reputation as one of Victoria's best off-the-beaten-path destinations.

After Covid-19 caused the cancellation of the festival in 2020 and 2021, the Mallacoota community says it is ready to welcome back visitors and showcase some of Australia's freshest seafood, local produce, beer and wine and other delights of the Wilderness Coast.

The three-day festival is a celebration of Mallacoota's long history and connection to the ocean and its oysters, mussels and other seafood morsels.



At the heart of the event is the free open-air Wild Harvest Seafood Market, as well as dinners and tasting events.

How about Sailor's Grave urchin-infused beer, which debuted at Wild Harvest 2019 and will make a return for the 2022 festival?

More events and attractions will be announced in the coming weeks.
