Food tastes better when it’s sustainably grown, right? That’s the concept behind Humpty Doo Barramundi, a family-owned and operated saltwater fish farm located halfway between Darwin and Kakadu National Park. Barramundi is a mildly sweet and delicious white fish known for its many health benefits. Low in fat and sodium, it’s also packed with omega-3’s which are good for the heart, immune system, and mental health.
At Humpty Doo Barramundi, the fish is raised without the use of hormones or antibiotics, so customers can feel even better about what they’re eating. The fish are grown in an award-winning saltwater wetland system where saltwater grasses help clean and recirculate the water. The farm also boasts technologically advanced hatchery processes and fingerling nurseries, and the result is healthier, happier fish and next to no water discharge! Humpty Doo Barramundi harvests about 3000 tonnes of fish every year, delivering it fresh and twice-weekly year-round.
