Coorong Mullet filet

4-5 fillets per 200g pack Coorong Yellow Eye Mullet (Aldrichetta forsteri) is wild caught in South Australian waters. Caught in the bountiful ecosystem that is typical to South Australia’s Coorong, this fish swims in both salt water and estuaries and is also known as Yellow Eye Mullet, one of 16 species in Australia. This fish has a flavor as unique as its habitat and is sustainably caught using targeted netting methods. The soft, moist-textured fillets are high in Omega 3, where its oily flesh lends itself to an array of opportunities in the kitchen. Coorong Mullet is filleted fresh, packed and frozen all on the same day. About the producer: The icy, cold waters off the coast of southern Australia are known for being some of the least polluted and most pristine marine environments in the world - resulting in exceptionally high-quality seafood. Warmer water from the north converging with cooler water from the Southern Ocean creates a unique habitat which is home to lots of unique species like the Southern Rock Lobster, King George Whiting, Southern Bluefin Tuna, and many more. Australia recognizes the value of this majestic environment and has been one of the world’s most committed governments to sustainable fishing practices, closely monitoring fish stocks for long term viability with strong enforcement of sustainability regulations. The Ferguson family have been fishing in these waters since the 1960s, and are well known throughout Australia for their commitment to quality. Starting off as fishermen, they later expanded into the processing and export operations (developing award-winning packaging solutions along the way) to ensure their products’ quality remained as high as possible from the ocean to your plate. One part of Ferguson’s approach that we especially appreciate at Paleo Robbie: In addition to the famous Southern Rock Lobster or King George Whiting, Ferguson also make an effort to offer a range of lesser-known (but very delicious) fish species to develop a market for these abundant & highly sustainable varieties.
