PETUNA - Petuna is Tasmania’s largest multi-species seafood supplier, operating from the pristine Southern Ocean and in one of the world’s finest coastal environments. Macquarie Harbour – the Harbour features a layer of tannin-stained fresh water over sea water and, along with strong currents, creates the best aquaculture farming conditions in the world. The brownish tannin, which is characteristic of Tasmania’s wild rivers, provides natural shelter for Ocean Trout and Atlantic Salmon, and helps them achieve a good growth cycle throughout the year.

The lean, boneless, firm flesh of the Russian Sturgeon (Acipenser gueldenstaedtii) has a delicate, mild flavor and is an excellent source of Omega 3s. It can be grilled, sautéed, baked, barbecued, poached or fried. It stands up to the boldest of preparations and is almost impossible to over-cook. Sturgeon should rest for 24 – 48 hours after harvest. This species of sturgeon produces the coveted Ossetra caviar. Atlantic and Siberian sturgeon also are available on a limited basis.
