Barramundi are native to the waters of northern Australia and Southeast Asia. The fish is revered for its sweet, buttery flavor profile, and succulent, meaty texture. The skin of the Barramundi is edible, and crisps up nicely. The Barramundi’s mid-oil content level lends itself to a multitude of preparations. We love this simple, yet delicious lemon caper butter Barramundi, as it allows the natural sweetness of the Barramundi to shine.

Because Barramundi can reach a market size of 1.5- 2lbs. in less than a year, it is well-suited for aquaculture. Farmed barramundi is a cost-effective, sustainable alternative to grouper, snapper, and halibut that is available year round with the leading aquaculture producers based in Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand.

We are lucky to have access to some delicious farmed Barramundi from Great Falls Aquaculture, located in Turner Falls, Massachusetts. Great Falls Aquaculture is one of the largest and longest running commercial recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) in the United States. The focus is to provide a cleaner premium fish in a more environmentally friendly manner using our proprietary state-of-the art technology. Great Falls’ systems are designed to mimic the natural environment in a manner that is less stressful to the fish while promoting excellent growth.
