Barramundi is the native northern Australian river-and-saltwater fish. Brisbane chefs serve it whole-grilled, pan-fried or sashimi-style with native ingredient garnishes.
Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) is a native Australian fish found in northern coastal and freshwater systems. The name comes from Aboriginal languages of north Queensland; the species was a staple food source for coastal Indigenous communities for thousands of years. Commercial wild fishery and aquaculture grew through the 1980s; today over 80 percent of Australian barramundi is farmed in Queensland and the Northern Territory. Brisbane menus serve it whole grilled, pan-fried with skin crispy or as the contemporary sashimi-style preparation in fine-dining rooms.
