Brackish Waters
Where the cool wilderness waters of the Franklin-Gordon Rivers collide with the salt water of the Great Southern Ocean, Peter and Una Rockliff, together with their family, have spent decades perfecting this superior tasting artisan product. Their pioneering work has been recognised by an Order of Australia Medal.
The Waters
From the ideal waters of Macquarie Harbor in Tasmania and one of the world’s premium fish producers, Petuna Farms, this is one of the finest examples of Ocean Trout you’ll find on the market. These fish mature where the wild waters of Franklin-Gordon Rivers meet the salty waters of the Great Southern Ocean.

Certifications
Petuna was the first company in the world to achieve Best Aquaculture Practice (BAP) accreditation for two species in a marine environment – Atlantic Salmon and Ocean Trout.
More recently, it also became the first company to receive BAP for both its salt and fresh water operations, with the opening of its $15 million state-of-the-art hatchery in Cressy, which notably uses less than five percent of the water used in traditional systems.
During 2019, Petuna achieved BAP 4-star accreditation.
This top-tier, four-star accreditation means every step in our production chain, from hatchery and farms to feed mills and processing plants are certified to comply with the highest Best Aquaculture Practice standards.

In the Kitchen
Petuna’s Tasmanian Ocean Trout has a creamy, velvet-like texture with excellent mouth feel. Even though it looks like salmon it tastes similar to trout but with its own unique umami flavor. It stands out exceptionally well in a wide variety of culinary applications.

Nutrition
Loaded with Omega-3s, this fish is as healthy as it is delicious. One of our favorite preparations is barely grilled with some sea salt and freshly ground pepper to let the fish’s natural flavor shine through. It is also excellent as sashimi with a touch of yuzu kosho or chopped into a tartare. It can be substituted with any salmon recipe.
