Information:
We love this fish. It took two years for us to find the perfect branzino for our customers. Farmed 2 kilometers offshore of Cypress in the Mediterranean, this operation is the standout example of modern aquaculture. The fish are fed an all-natural feed: no antibiotics, no hormones, no GMOs, no colourants, no land animal byproduct. No wild fish were harvested to feed these fish. The fish are allowed to grow at nature’s pace, in their native environment, in very low population densities. The result is a better food conversion rate and a better, healthier and tastier fish. They are diver harvested, killed ike jime, and shipped the same day. Our Branzino arrive graded at 375g to 550g per fish.
