Australis Barramundi Australis Aquaculture Prized for generations in Australia for its mild, buttery flavor and succulent texture, barramundi is now available from Australis Aquaculture in supermarkets and restaurants across the United States. Barramundi is similar to a premium fish like red snapper, striped bass, or Dover sole, but without the high price tag, so it’s also a great alternative to everyday items like cod, salmon, and tilapia. With just 137 calo-

ries per 5-ounce portion, 2.5 grams of fat (no saturated fat), 870 mg of omega-3s, and lots of lean protein, barramundi is a healthy choice. It’s also environmentally friendly, as Australis barramundi is sustainably raised by family-owned farms or line caught from small boats in its natural habitat, and was named a Best Choice by all major consumer seafood guides.
