Go behind the scenes of the multi-award-winning Daintree Saltwater Barramundi Farm! See how they&nbsp;grow and supply top quality, sustainable produce to restaurants and merchants all over Australia. Your expert guide will&nbsp;take you on a journey of fishy discovery that explores the amazing iconic Australian Barramundi from fingerling to finger food.

&nbsp;

For 18 years, this farm has been providing a sustainable supply of world-class barramundi to some of the finest restaurants across the country, and many happy families in Far North Queensland. All without depleting wild food stocks! Despite its indigenous name,&nbsp;over 60% of barramundi in Australia is imported. Most Aussies don&rsquo;t know where their barra comes from and have no guarantee of quality or origin.

&nbsp;

Daintree Saltwater Barramundi Fish Farms are perfectly positioned beside the Daintree River, sandwiched between the World Heritage-listed Daintree Rainforest, Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea. On the 49 hectare property, they&nbsp;grow fish in over 3 hectares of earthen ponds filled with saltwater from the Daintree River to replicate&nbsp;the natural habitat of the Barramundi. The farm starts with 10cm long hand-selected fingerlings from local hatcheries and, over 12 to 18 months,&nbsp;grow them to commercial size.

&nbsp;

This is&nbsp;an Australian company, managed by long-time local Mark Hober (aka Farmer Mark). He&rsquo;s passionate about Barra (just ask him!) and grew up fishing the Daintree River. Don&rsquo;t tell him we told you, but he&rsquo;s a giant in the industry, respected for his leadership in innovation, management, sustainability and best practice.

&nbsp;

Barramundi is a superfood &mdash; it&rsquo;s full of essential vitamins and minerals that support your immune, cardiovascular and nervous systems, all of which are pretty important! It&#39;s packed full of protein, has the highest Omega-3s of any white fish, half the calories of salmon and&nbsp;40g calcium in just one fillet. Plus, it takes only 1.5kg feed for a farmed barramundi to grow 1kg in weight; but it takes 5kg for a cow, 4kg for a sheep and 15-25kg for a wild barra. So it&rsquo;s great for the environment too! Try it for yourself with a tasting plate included for a fresh farm-to-table experience.&nbsp;
