I live in Alaska, and was shopping at a local seafood market and noticed fresh Barramundi!  I had tasted it a few times on a vacation to Cairns and Sydney several years ago and thought I’d give it a shot.

My roommate was born in Alaska and hasn’t traveled extensively outside the state.  Both of us were a little apprehensive because it was my first time cooking it (and his first time eating it), but this recipe was wonderful, served simply with steamed broccoli and a brown rice pilaf with mushrooms.  Barramundi kind of has the flavor of red snapper and a really nice texture, like rockfish.  I like it much better than halibut, our locally caught white fish, because it is much more flavorful.  Definitely plan to have this fish again, if I can find it fresh….though I want to try different preparations.

Don’t worry about finding it fresh!  We had it fresh in Aus, too, but I found it in Austin, Texas frozen (individual filets) and it was DIVINE - no fishy taste at all.  I’ve been looking for this fish all my adult life!  I just seasoned it with salt & pepper, and spritzed it with olive oil, pan seared it for 6-8 minutes.

Found this fish in my local HEB in Del Rio, Texas, bought it, tried it, it was wonderful. Now I buy at least 5 packages of it and put it in the freezer and we eat it at least once a week and I do it a different way each time so that we don’t get tired of it.  I think it is expensive, $8.99 for 2 med filets but it is well worth it.
