As famous as Mr. Croc comes Mr. Barra. The Barramundi is the fish of the Northern Territory (even though it can be found in several places around South East Asia and the Persian Gulf). Territorians main passtime is to go fishing for Barramundi. It lives in freshwater, Billabongs and salty waters. Actually the saltwater Barramundi is usually favoured for having a more delicate flesh and less body fat. Once cooked, I admit it is difficult not to fall for this buttery flesh with a mild salty flavour. A real delicacy. It has fast become my favourite fish. It is possible to literally touch some live ones in a few places in the area and I took a few pictures at the aquarium the other day that I will post at one point or the other. In the meantime, here's a reproduction gracing a fisho's shop in Katherine.
