Humpty Doo Barramundi

🟦 They’re big, they’re blue, and they’re a key bit of kit for the farm. Every week we fill hundreds of these giant Eskys with fresh barra and ice for delivery all over Australia. Then all the bins are returned to be reused again and again.

While Easter Sunday was on the 17th for most of us, many Aussies are celebrating Orthodox Easter today. To mark the occasion we suggest Barra-salata, a riff on taramasalata by @chefmattmoran. You can download his recipe in the Aussie Barra Recipe Book: bit.ly/3C2bhY7

🥺 These baby Rakali were found by Chloe while moving pipes around the farm. The nest seemed abandoned so these little ones were taken to a carer to look after them.

Family-owned and family-run - it can be challenging but we do what we love and love what we do. From left to right: Dan and Tarun, Julii and Bob.

🥚🐰🐟 Happy Easter! Just like chocolate eggs, hot cross buns and the Easter Bunny, Fish on Good Friday is a tradition in many Aussie households. Here’s a recipe you can try - bit.ly/3Ns4OuV Crispy-Skinned Barramundi With Pear & Mustard Salad 📷 @woolworths

🧑‍🍳🏆 Bocuse d'Or is the world’s pinnacle of culinary ambition and innovation. We’re honoured that our Barra was included in the Australian competition. The winner of the ‘Golden Knife’ trophy was Victorian chef Alex McIntosh (left).

Due to its inflammatory nature many nutritionists say you should consume Omega-6 in moderation. A ratio of less than 4:1 is recommended. Barra blows that out the water – it’s incredibly low in Omega 6 and relatively high in Omega 3 with an amazing 1:1 ratio!

If you think we look busy – you’re not wrong! There’s never a dull moment in aquaculture.

You’re looking at Barrastrami, fried bread and horseradish by @hazel_melbourne in Flinders Lane. This unique take on pastrami uses similar techniques but with Humpty Doo Barra in place of brisket for a delightfully different taste and texture.

🦕 Finally we have proof! At first we thought it was a croc in the pond again, but we reckon this thing is over 20ft long! The team have nicknamed it BarraNessy. . . . . . . . . . . #aprilfools

This is a Whistling Kite, named after the loud call it often makes in flight. They’re a medium size hawk, smaller than Wedgies and very common around the top end. They love the farm because they can score a free feed from any leftover fish feed.

⏰ Sunrise over the ponds. Of course there are mornings when we want to hit that snooze button, but you can never see too many sunrises and there is nothing like that fresh feel of a new day beginning.
