CORAL TROUT |
| Our most popular reef fish, the Coral Trout
has a very white flesh with excellent presentation. Coral
Trout is suitable for any type of cooking and as with the
majority of Reef Fish, contains far less natural oil due to
the warmer water temperature. It is ideal for grilling, frying
or baking and considered the ocean equivalent to fillet steak.
Coral Trout comes is a wide variety of colours, which is
dictated by the depth of the water it has grown in, the deeper
the water, the more red the fish. |

BARRAMUNDI |
| Found in the estuaries and inshore waters of
our northern coastline, the Barramundi is probably regarded as
our number one food fish. The local Wild Barramundi should not
be compared to the farmed or imported products as the flavour
is entirely different. Due to minimum and maximum size
restrictions, a market was formed for the farmed variety which
can be harvested as a "plate" size and has a more muddy
flavour. True Wild Barramundi will be a large whole fish or in
fillet form. Again, the cheaper imported variety is not of the
same quality and taste. |

RED EMPEROR |
| Red Emperor is one of the most popular reef
fish which is suitable for any type of cooking. Red Emperor is
slightly stronger flavoured than Coral Trout. As can be seen
in the photo (right), Red Emperor is generally an impressive
sized fish and ideal as a seafood centre piece. Fillets
represent a good way to purchase this fish as, due to its
shape, there is quite a large amount of weight in it's head.
Be warned though, you miss out on a fantastic source for fish
stock this way. |
