Tired of Salmon for Your Omega 3's?


There's a new fish in town called barramundi. Frankly I haven't seen it yet in the stores but apparently it's there, somewhere. It's also high in the omega 3's but only half as much compared to salmon which has the highest amount of those healthy omega 3's. It has about 500 mg. for a three ounce serving.

It's farmed fish which I'm not in favor of but is raised on a vegetarian diet, which should ensure us that the mercury levels aren't high. I'm just not sure what else they might feed it so buyer be beware.

Has anyone seen or tasted this fish yet? They say it is mild and has a slightly sweet flavor and isn't strong like salmon (although personally I love salmon.)
