Desert Springs Barramundi

River-fed aquifer, Arizona

Fish farming in Arizona? These barramundi juveniles come from Australia but they are raised in Arizona in water fed by the Colorado River. They are antibiotic-, hormone-, additive-, and colorant-free.

Barramundi, reportedly a name given to the fish by indigenous Australians, means large-scaled silver fish. It is also called Passion Fish. In an Australian Aborigine Dreamtime legend, part creation story, the barramundi transforms itself into the moon.

Barramundi is comparable to wild sea bass. It is recommended for its sweet, buttery flavor and is packed with omega-3 fatty acids. Low mercury level. Kosher.
