• Australian salmon is jam packed in health benefits – including omega 3 fatty acids, essential vitamins and minerals and also a great source of protein. HISTORY:
PARRYS BEACH WAS FIRST USED FOR SALMON FISHING IN 1947 AFTER AN AGREEMENT WITH HUNTS CANNERY (ALBANY) AND THE LATE BILL PINNINGER. WITH THE AGREEMENT IN HAND, BILL PINNINGER AND OTHERS CREATED AN ACCESS TRACK, THAT IS NOW KNOWN AS PARRY BEACH RD. BILL’S SON, LES PINNINGER STILL OPERATES THE FISHING LICENSE AND THE LAST OF THE ORIGINAL HUTS ARE STILL USED TODAY BY THE CURRENT FAMILIES. BACK THEN, THERE WERE 3 TEAMS WITH UP TO 22 MEN IN TOTAL, THAT FISHED AND LIVED AT PARRYS SALMON CAMP SUPPLYING FISH TO THE CANNERY. FOR THE LAST 70 YEARS SALMON CAUGHT FROM PARRYS BEACH HAS BEEN SUPPLIED TO A RANGE OF MARKETS FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION AND THE MOST WELL KNOWN PRODUCT IS PECKS FISH PASTE. DUE TO THE DECLINE IN COMMERCIAL MARKETS, PARRYS BEACH SALMON IS ONE OF THE LAST BEACHES ON THE SOUTH COAST STILL FISHING FOR AUSTRALIAN SALMON. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FUTURE PARRYS BEACH SALMON IS DEDICATED TO GETTING AUSTRALIAN SALMON BACK ON TO THE PLATES OF AUSTRALIAN FAMILIES!!!
