Reviews from our home cooks
I've never had barramundi fish before, and it was nice to have a meatier white fish than, say, tilapia. We put just a little bit of garlic and lemon on it for some flavor and ate it with a baked potato, and it was very nice.
Never had it and loved it. I used a Parmesan/lemon/breadcrumb topping. Fish itself was fantastic but it would have been helpful to include cooking instructions. Wasn't sure how long to bake it
Favorite Fish on here. Buttery, lightly sweet, and no fishy taste. Thick cuts which are flaky... Just the way we like it!
This is good quality fish that can easily be prepared for a tasty, healthy meal.
We were making more than 2 servings and this is a pain in the rear to make. Dirties tons of dishes. Our ginger was not quality. The flavor is awesome but the ingredients once again were not the quality I would have purchased at the store.
I'm not a huge fish eater but I do love Bass so I thought I'd give this a try. It was easy to prepare and had almost no fishy flavor so I enjoyed it
Hard to explain the taste but it reminds you of the pastry in chicken and pastries when it's sat in the broth for a little while and you take a bite and it melts almost instantly. A very buttery consistency to the fish and pairs well with Cajun seasoning and lemon juice.
Tried as a side and cooked in my usual style for fish w skin on to test it out. Very lovely and I like that it's sustainable. Hope I don't read otherwise down the road. Will be choosing this whenever it's offered.
Barramundi is a favorite of mine, and I love that your filets are skin-on (more omega 3's!!!)
I took the skin off, rolled in fish fry and put in deep fryer. So delicious and had good clean flavor
