Daintree by Mainstream Aquaculture

Australian-bred barramundi raised in pristine Arizona desert spring water. Exceptional water clarity produces clean, distinctive flavor. Demonstrates that provenance is about water quality, not geography.

My father Philip built this company on relationships. A handshake on the Hauraki Gulf, a phone call at 3am to make the morning flight. We are the next generation of that same standard since 1987. That does not change.

Accountability

Certified from water to warehouse

Chain of Custody

NZS maintains active MSC and ASC chain of custody certification. Every certified species arriving in our facility is handled under a documented program from harvest point to US delivery. No exceptions.

New Zealand King Salmon

All three New Zealand King Salmon producers we carry hold Seafood Watch Best Choice status and BAP 4-Star certification, the highest standard in responsible aquaculture. We do not carry uncertified salmon.
