Barramundi, known in sushi as akame, is a prized white fish that manages to be both mild and full of character. It is clean and gently sweet, with a texture that is firm yet moist and a soft richness that eats beautifully raw and takes just as well to a hot pan.
It also carries more omega-3 than most white fish, part of what gives it that rounder, fuller flavor. Approachable enough for anyone at the table yet refined enough for sashimi, it is a dependable, feel-good choice you can serve with confidence.
Best for: sashimi, crudo, pan-searing, and steaming. Responsibly farm-raised.
We choose every fish by eye and by hand. If it does not meet our standard, it never makes the box.
How it reaches you
1
Cut to order — by hand in Honolulu the day it ships.
2
Packed cold — sealed with gel ice in an insulated box built to hold temperature.
3
Two-day delivery — flown cold, tracking sent when it leaves.
A note on weight: Every cut is portioned by hand, so the exact weight varies slightly from the size you choose. You may receive a little over or a little under, and your order is billed at the listed price for that size. That is the nature of a fresh, hand-cut product.
