About

Barramundi is highly esteemed, particularly in Queensland and the Northern Territory, as a fine fighting fish for sport anglers as well as a delicately-flavoured fish for the table. The nearest UK equivalent would be bass.

Serve this dish with lightly seasoned, buttered and steamed vegetables such as mangetout, asparagus, baby corn or broccoli.
