Few know how delicious this sustainably farmed fish can be, but ocean adventurer Fabien Cousteau has said "we have to make the barramundi sexy" to help us shift our diets away from overfished and contaminated fish stocks. We asked Australis Aquaculture to help.
Barramundi is a gourmet, sustainably harvested fish native to Australia and now being farmed in the United States. Its sweet, buttery, delicate and moist flavor has been compared to red snapper, Dover sole, sea bass and other premium white fish. It is available in restaurants throughout the country including Legal Sea Foods, McCormick & Schmick, Red Lobster and Oceanaire. Also available in select Whole Foods, Safeway, Vons, Giant, Costco, Schnuck's, Dierberg's and other fine markets. For more information, visit thebetterfish.com.
Almond Crusted Barramundi
The almond crust on this barramundi dish adds flavor and crunch and highlights the rich flavor of the fish. Spinach and pickled onion finish off the plate beautifully.
Roasted Barramundi with Fennel and Orange
Zesty orange segments and toasted fennel complement the pan-roasted barramundi in this dish.
Barramundi and Lemon Butter
This barramundi recipe is even more delicious served over mashed potatoes or greens. Try adding a few fresh chopped tomatoes for color.
