Gold Frankincense

Jill & George Mure established Mures Fish House in 1973 in Battery Point, Hobart. When they struggled to source quality, fresh, local seafood, George went fishing. More than 40 years on, now owned by Will & Jude Mure, it remains a vertically integrated Tasmanian business from hook to plate that showcases the finest and freshest local seafood.

Mures Tasmania currently incorporates a 76-foot-long lining vessel, Diana (named after Will’s Grandmother), a processing factory, a range of gourmet seafood products distributed nationally, George Mure wine range, and three seafood restaurants on Hobart’s waterfront, Victoria Dock.

Upstairs is the award-winning a-la- carte Seafood Restaurant, Mures Upper Deck. With an international reputation for Tasmania’s world class seafood, Mures Upper Deck is the ultimate seafood experience in Hobart. The views across Victoria and Constitution Dock are stunning. Mures Upper Deck offers an extensive wine and beverage list with a strong focus on what Tasmania has to offer. A dining experience that must not be missed. Mures Lower Deck, situated on the ground floor, is a licensed Seafood Bistro open for breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week. Famous for fresh fish and chips, oysters, grills and gourmet seafood share platters. Fresh fish can be bought from the Fish Mongers with the Cafe offering 32 flavours of delightful icecreams.

Sustainability has always been a key part of the Mures mission, long before it was part of the current social issues that we face today. When Jill and George Mure first established Mures Fish House in 1973, they campaigned for the advancement of ecologically friendly fishing methods. Their values and ethos still inform the operational practices of our business to this day.

They are now a Sustainable Tourism Accredited Business and their commitment extends well beyond pure fishing methodologies. They continually explore the integration of ecofriendly practices in each department of the business, as well as providing educational opportunities for schools. The importance of the work they do now will protect our oceans and environment for our future generations. In March 2020, Mures Tasmania has become the first independent retailer in Tasmania, and

& Mure!

only the second restaurant in Australia to achieve Chain of Custody Certification for Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) certified products.

The Hobart waterfront is an unmissable spot to visit. Not just for it’s colourful locals - we’re looking at you Sammy the seal - or the beautiful heritage listed buildings of Hunter Street, or even the stunning backdrop of the city with kunanyi/Mt. Wellington beyond. It is also a mecha of activity and events.

From summer celebrations such as the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, Taste of Tasmania, and the biannual Australian Wooden Boat Festival to the beating heart of Dark Mofo in winter there’s always something new to explore. So whether you’re eating fish & chips on the dockside, celebrating the festivities, or just after a moment to sit in the sun and watch the local fishing fleet coming and going, the waterfront will always deliver a memorable experience.

Mures Tasmania recently won the Veiola Best Environmental & Recycling Practice Award at the 2021 Tasmanian Hospitality Association Awards for Excellence.
