Australian Hiramasa

There is no question that the waters of the Great Southern Ocean are amongst the world's most pristine.

This is why these unpolluted oceanic waters have been chosen to establish the very first farm of Yellowtail Kingfish.

A finfish that offers firm white flesh, the Yellowtail Kingfish is suited to both sophisticated and classically simple culinary applications limited only by imagination. The fish will please the most discerning consumer.

Today, the finfish aquaculture industry operating from South Australia has a deserved unblemished reputation world wide for farming and production of finfish renowned for its premium quality and absolute freshness.

The challenge we accepted as an aquaculture industry operating from these shores, was not to interfere with the perfection of mother nature, but to improve on it.

The Yellowtail Kingfish Seriola lalandi, also known as Gold Striped Amberjack, is a natural inhabitant of the waters off South Australia.

It has, however, taken a number of years for our marine biologist to perfect the production of large quantities of disease free juvenile fish which are placed in the ideal waters we have chosen for growing out.

The reward for this investment in time, and the search for excellence, is that we are now producing large volumes of premium quality Yellowtail Kingfish which constantly exceed the stringent requirements of our many customers.

We believe it is essential that all the processes involved in the farming of the Yellowtail Kingfish should follow best practice principles and be synonymous with the unpolluted, ecologically sound natural habitat in which it is based.

Techniques have been developed to obtain large volumes of eggs from broodstock which are held in our hatchery and hand fed to ensure good health and controlled growth.
