Our Species

Barramundi

Indonesia's unique geography — warm waters, clean environments and generations of aquaculture knowledge — creates ideal conditions for raising barramundi. Our farming partners combine these natural advantages with modern quality control, full traceability and processing standards aligned with international expectations.

A fish defined by balance

Barramundi sits comfortably between refinement and character. Its flesh is mild, lightly sweet and buttery without being fatty, making it a versatile foundation across cuisines. Fillets hold their shape during cooking while remaining moist and tender — qualities valued in fine dining, premium retail and foodservice alike.

Raised with intention

Quality starts long before harvest.

Barramundi are raised in carefully managed, low-density farming systems designed to mirror natural conditions as closely as possible. Water quality, oxygen levels and temperature are continuously monitored to support welfare and steady growth.

Feeding programmes are designed to promote clean flavour, firm texture and balanced fat development — without shortcuts. Fish grow calmly and consistently, resulting in the muscle structure and eating quality professionals look for.

Every decision, from hatchery to harvest, is made with the final eating experience in mind.

Humane harvesting: ike-jime

Each fish is humanely dispatched using ike-jime, a traditional Japanese method rarely applied at scale in aquaculture. Immediately after harvest, brain activity is stopped, preventing stress responses that negatively affect quality.

Preserves natural sweetness and flavour clarity
Prevents lactic acid build-up
Improves texture and firmness
Extends freshness and shelf life

For chefs and buyers, this means a product that behaves more like line-caught wild fish: clean aroma, bright flesh and excellent performance in the kitchen.

Processing with integrity

From harvest onwards, the fish are handled quickly and with precision. Processing takes place within a short timeframe to protect freshness, texture and flavour at their peak.

There are no additives, no chemical treatments, no water retention agents at any stage. Our barramundi are supplied with a protective glaze to protect the integrity of the product.

The fish are single frozen once only, using controlled freezing technology that protects cell structure. The result is clean thawing, strong yields and natural flavour — exactly as barramundi should taste.
