Meet Esmay and Emil Hropic, fisherpeople, at Moruya Farmers' Market


On Tuesday afternoons we like to go to Moruya Farmers' Market to buy fresh produce, and we get our fish from Esmay and Emil. It's all locally caught. 

The sign says that Esmay is a proud professional fisher endorsed to fish in the NSW Estuary General and Open Prawn Trawl fisheries. She is a steward of the marine environment where she works, and she practices and embraces environmental fishing methods.                            Emil is a 7th generation professional fisher, similarly endorsed, and is passionate about providing the community with access to local seafood in a responsible and sustainable manner.
