FRESH US-FARMED BARRAMUNDI
Superior and Elegant
Fresh US-farmed Australis Barramundi is our top-of-the-line fish. Prized for its gourmet flavor, superb texture and incomparable freshness, Australis Barramundi regularly graces the menus of the world’s finest restaurants. A native to the, remote tropical waters of northern Australia and parts of Southeast Asia, we’re raising barramundi in western Massachusetts in one of the world’s largest and most environmentally-friendly indoor fish farms, making it the premier seafood choice for today’s discriminating buyer.
Better Tasting
Sweet, buttery, moist and delicate, Australis Barramundi has been compared to red snapper, Dover sole, sea bass and other premium white fish. Our sushi-grade barramundi works beautifully with just about any recipe, and can be baked, broiled, fried, steamed, roasted whole or grilled on the ‘barbie’ (don’t be afraid to sear it in a hot pan to lock in its natural juices). Try one of our recipes, use one of your favorites, or submit a barra recipe of your own! In just a few minutes, you can be enjoying an elegant and truly special meal.
Better For You
At
Australis, we never use hormones, antibiotics or colorants. We don't need to.
Our obsessive water quality management results
in healthier fish without the
need for chemical additives. Deep artesian well water is continuously filtered
and purified using our patented filtration systems. And by growing our fish
indoors, we carefully control all aspects of the process, eliminating the risk
of contamination so you don’t have to worry about mercury, or other contaminants.

Better For our Environment
Australis is committed to leading the way to a sustainable future. We pioneered indoor fish farming and set the standards that minimize our environmental impact while preserving our natural resources. We practice these principles by purifying and recycling millions of gallons of water, using sustainably-harvested fish meal, and reusing our fish manure on local farms. These are approaches that we pioneered to make fish farming more healthy and sustainable.
No wonder that, Australis was awarded Australian Sustainable Company of the Year for the Environment (2007) for its pioneering efforts in aquaculture. No wonder, too, that fresh, US-farmed barramundi is rated a “Best Choice” by leading environmental organizations, including the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Environmental Defense.
