Mutton Fish is the story of the Aboriginal people of the south coast of New South Wales as told through the metaphor of Haliotis (mutton fish). Mutton fish or abalone is a subsistence food— easy to find and harvest, extremely rich in energy and accessible for as long as the beaches are freely open to all. The people of the south coast of NSW have a long and complex relationship with the coastal environment; one that has nurtured them for thousands of years. Mutton Fish explores this relationship
