What Is Barramundi (Lates calcarifer) — and What Does Whole Cleaned Mean?
Barramundi, also known as Asian sea bass, Cá Chẽm, or Giant sea perch, is a popular fish in both Western and Asian cuisines, recognized for its mild, sweet flavor and firm, white flesh. It is farm-raised and processed to ensure top quality.
Whole Cleaned means the fish is scaled, gutted and gilled — ready to cook directly, with no further preparation needed. This differs from our Frozen Barramundi Whole Round, which is supplied unprocessed, giving buyers the choice between a ready-to-cook cut or a whole-fish format for in-house processing.
