Newer Fish! Light Flavor--Great Nutritients


Seafood has been called ‘the health food of the century’, and for good reason. A single serving of
fish provides up to 60% of your daily protein needs, it’s lower in fat and calories than meat or poultry and can be a great source of Omega-3’s.  The American Heart Association recommends eating fish at least twice a week, and health experts from around the world tout the benefits of a seafood-rich diet.

But reports about contaminants such as mercury and PCBs, and the use of hormones and antibiotics in some farmed fish, have many people wondering “Is seafood safe?”  
The Australis Barramundi fish enjoy a diet of all-natural, sustainable feed that is processed in state-of-the-art facilities under the strictest food safety standards. 
Seafood is an important part of a healthy diet. It‘s a great source of highly digestible protein, is rich in vitamins and minerals and low in saturated fat. A 5 ounce serving of Australis Barramundi has just 137 calories and 2.5 grams of fat, with no saturated fat and less than 100 mg of sodium.  It’s great for anyone watching their weight, limiting their sodium intake, or looking to make healthy food choices.
Look for Australis Barramundi on restaurant menus and from fish purveyors.  It is a light white fish that everyone will enjoy.  Information from Australis Barramundi.
