We had a great interview with Josh Goldman, CEO of Australis this morning. Australis is the company that farms barramundi, a mild-flavored fish that is very high in omega-3 fatty acids.
If you've got the idea that it's always best to eat wild caught fish, consider listening to this interview, as it challenges some of the mantras in the debate and may answer some of your concerns about the safety of farmed seafood.
As promised in the interview, here is the legend of the barramundi, a love story told by the Aboriginals for whom this fish is a part of their culture and has been for generations.
Splashing in the billagong two lovers having fun
Ebony skin streaming under water fall.
Yungi and Meyalk sat together drying off in the sun
Their love was forbidden by tribal law, still they answered each other's call.
Creeping out during a corroboree, they ran hand in hand; love had won.
Following bush trail to the sea they knew they must fall.
They made spears to ward off angry tribe; seeing death must come.
Yungi and Meyalk threw themselves into the sea; they became barramundi fish and fooled them all.
Some spears struck their backs as they swam away; legend has it the spears became spines on the barramundi's back still visible today.
