KYLIE Minogue, Olivia Newtown-John, Russell Crowe, Terri Irwin, Petuna Seafoods ...Not only are the above all Australian, they also shared a meal together at the weekend's G'Day USA black tie gala ball in Los Angeles.East Devonport's own Petuna Seafoods served up a delicious dish of North- West ocean trout to a contingent of famous - and hungry - Australians and their American pals.Petuna sales and logistics general manager Tim Hess said Americans couldn't get enough North-West fish."We were actually one of the original companies supplying product into that particular promotion," he said."This is our third year at the gala ball."In fact, Petuna can't even keep up with American demands of the premium fish."What we agreed to do, we currently ship between two and four tonne of fresh ocean trout to USA every week," Mr Hess said."We've been doing it for about five years, and it's growing every year."He said the fish was particularly well received this year."It's been going very well over there for us. We ship all over the place - to New York, Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles."During the gala ball, guests dined on cuisine prepared by Australian chef Neil Perry and LA chef Wolfgang Puck, using a range of Australian products and produce flown in for the occasion.
