The Fish
Origins

Native to Northern Australia, the name ‘Barramundi’ comes from the Indigenous Australian Gangulu language group in Central Queensland and means ‘large-scaled river fish’.
SUCCULENT & SUSTAINABLE
In the Indigenous Australian folklore of Dreamtime, two lovers who are forbidden to be together according to tribal law, run away to be with one another.
They are pursued by their tribe and are cornered with their backs to the ocean. The young man throws his spears to ward off the tribe, and the young woman crafts more spears with the sticks and stones at her feet – binding them together with her long hair.
As they grow increasingly desperate, rather than face the retribution of the tribe, the two lovers clasp hands and enter the water. Expecting death, the Great Spirit grants compassion and transforms the couple into Barramundi so they may stay together eternally.
“Barramundi is an exceptional eating white fish with a mild, buttery flavour and firm, meaty texture.”
Throughout their life, each Barramundi is both male and female. They are all born male and transition into females after 3-4 years. In this sense, the dreamtime story holds true, with the man and woman never being separated!
Barramundi have been speared and roasted over hot coals for tens of thousands of years, and the fish is still celebrated for its ongoing cultural significance in Australia. Now it is recognised as a culinary delight due to the versatility suiting a wide variety of cuisines and cooking styles.
