The legendary characters help make our local seafood industry truly unique.
Nick Polgeest, affectionately known around the traps as ‘Nicko’, is a local personality in Apollo Bay. He’s spent his life fishing the Southern Ocean and Bass Strait and is not short of a tale. He has been a prominent voice for Victorian seafood in support of a positive future for the industry.
Nick is a director of the Apollo Bay Fisherman's Coop, which has helped connect the waters of Bass Strait with households, restaurants and seafood lovers for over 75 years. The Co-op is currently undergoing redevelopment to become a modern and revitalised focal point for local seafood. We can't wait for a b**r with Nick on the new outdoor terrace!
