Despite barramundi’s indigenous name, did you know that 60% of barramundi in Australia is imported? Surprisingly, nearly half of Aussies don’t know if where their barra is from!
To celebrate Australia’s barramundi farmers and sustainable seafood, Australia’s first National Barramundi Day is launching on Friday, 18 October.
Top chefs and restaurants from across the country have rose to the challenge to serve barramundi specials on the 18th of October. Head down to one of these stunning restaurants to celebrate the best of Australian barramundi.
