We know that healthy cooking and eating are topics of keen interest for so many Marley Spooners, and as well as providing a broader variety of delicious flavours for you to cook with at home, fish offers a healthy protein choice and is one of the best sources of omega-3 fats you can find.
Every week, we have a minimum of forty recipes on offer featuring our fish and seafood options. When it comes to sourcing the most flavoursome, high-quality ingredients for our recipes, we work closely with trusted suppliers to pack your boxes with only the best. Read on to learn more about these supplier partners and their fantastic ingredients.
Tuna
Our bluefin tuna is sourced from Australia via Dinko Seafoods, a proudly family-owned, family-operated business in Port Lincoln, South Australia. Pioneers of the industry, their prime seafoods have been sustainably harvested from the pristine ocean waters of the Eyre Peninsula since 1966.
The superior flavour of their sashimi-grade bluefin tuna is thanks to the health of their harvest, and the care taken with processing. The natural flavour and freshness of the fish is carefully preserved from the ocean to the plate; within hours of harvest, the tuna is placed in cryovac packaging, then frozen at -24°C, which removes the need for harmful gases or preservatives, ensuring the best taste and texture.
Southern bluefin tuna is lean, high in protein (eating just one portion in one of our recipes boosts your protein intake by 30 grams!) and nutrient-dense. It’s particularly rich in omega-3 fats, which may help promote heart health, reduce inflammation, and have the potential to improve brain function and mood. Tuna is also a great source of vitamin D, magnesium and calcium, which are essential vitamins and minerals for supporting good health.
Our southern bluefin tuna has a mild flavour and a luxuriously silky yet meaty texture when cooked. It is perfect pan-seared, barbecued or grilled, and can also be cooked in stews and soups. You’ll find it on our menus in recipes such as Bluefin Tuna Steak Niçoise Salad with Olives, Beans and French Dressing (pictured above), Chargrilled Bluefin Tuna with Dill Oil and Rhubarb-Radish Salsa, or Italian-Style Bluefin Tuna with Tomato Fettuccine, Garlic Oil and Capers.
Salmon fillets and smoked salmon
Our salmon fillets and smoked salmon are sustainably sourced from three suppliers in Australia: Tassal, KB Seafood Co and Harris Smokehouse.
Renowned, Tasmania-based Tassal produces responsibly farmed Tasmanian Atlantic salmon grown in the cool, clean waters of Tasmania. Dedicated to farming responsibly raised fish, they have global third-party certifications including from the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) and Best Aquaculture Practice (BAP) to ensure sustainability and quality is maintained across their practices. All Tassal salmon products are independently assessed by these accreditors to ensure that Tassal salmon is raised sustainably and is socially responsible.
KB Seafood Co is one of Australia’s largest seafood companies. They operate to the highest standard and their state-of-the-art production facilities must comply with the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). Committed to promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly practices, they are third-party certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), an international non-profit that sets standards for sustainable fishing, and the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), whose strict global standards for seafood farming help to minimise the negative impacts on the environment.
Harris Smokehouse is a fourth-generation, family-owned and operated seafood smokehouse located in the Adelaide Hills of South Australia. For over 60 years the Harris family has used traditional curing methods to create premium smoked seafood. Their Everyday Smoked Salmon uses only the highest quality, sustainably sourced and ethically grown Tasmanian Atlantic salmon.
For customers based in Western Australia, KB Seafood Co source responsibly farmed Tasmanian Atlantic salmon fillets from Tasmanian salmon producers certified by internationally recognised programs Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) and GLOBALG.A.P. (Good Agricultural Practice), which provide assurances that their salmon is produced safely, responsibly, sustainably and ethically. Smoked salmon is supplied by Harris Smokehouse.
For customers based in all other states, our salmon fillets and smoked salmon are sourced from Tassal.
Tasmanian Atlantic salmon is a great source of omega-3 fats which have been shown to support heart health. Salmon is also packed with beneficial nutrients, vitamins and minerals to support a healthy diet, and is a good source of protein, a nutrient our body needs for growth and development. A 100-gram portion of salmon provides roughly 30-40% of the recommended dietary intake (RDI) of protein for an Australian adult.
Versatile, delicious and so easy to cook, salmon fillets take to a range of different preparations, be it baking, grilling, pan-frying or steaming. They feature in our recipes like Nutritious Baked Salmon Niçoise with Grain Mustard Vinaigrette, and Turmeric-Coconut Salmon with Spiced Hash and Pickled Cucumber.
Tender yet rich, smoked salmon is smoked gently to create a well-balanced flavour that’s ideal for enjoying in thin, delicate slices. We feature it frequently in salads, pastas and grain bowls for quick dinner prep with maximum taste. Think Seared Salmon and Miso Butter Rice with Edamame, Radish and Avocado (pictured above), 15-Minute Smoked Salmon Salad with Eggplant, Croutons and Basil Pesto, or Carb-Conscious Smoked Salmon with Fennel and Dill Salad.
Barramundi
Supplied by Global Seafoods – a third-generation, Western Australian, family-owned company – our recipes feature Clean Harvest Barramundi. Vacuum packaged at peak freshness, Clean Harvest is a sustainably and responsibly farmed barramundi, raised in the pristine ocean waters of Van Phong Bay in Vietnam. The fish is instantly snap-frozen upon harvest to ensure it arrives to you at its highest quality and freshness.
Based on a sustainable model of aquaculture, Clean Harvest Barramundi uses state of the art aquaculture and traditional harvesting processes, allowing for eco-friendly production of fish of the highest quality. Passionate about quality and sustainability, the brand carries a number of certifications, including from Best Aquaculture Practice (BAP) and the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), in recognition of their sustainable farming practices. They are also a verified Ocean Wise Seafood partner, whose program is committed to serving and promoting sustainable seafood.
Clean Harvest Barramundi has an exceptional flavour and texture, with a notably higher omega-3 content than other wild barramundi, and a signature sweetness to its firm flesh that makes it ideally suited to grilling, baking and pan-frying.
You’ll find barramundi on our menu in recipes such as Crispy Barramundi and Veggie Mash with Peas and Thyme-Lemon Drizzle (pictured above), Calorie-Conscious Pan-Seared Barramundi with Lemon, Broccoli & Burghul, or Spicy Sri Lankan Barramundi Curry with Yoghurt and Coconut-Chilli Kale Chips.
Australian Barramundi
Our Australian barramundi is sourced by leading Australian seafood supplier KB Seafood Co from Humpty Doo Barramundi, an Australian, family-owned and operated farm located halfway between Darwin and Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory.
As a fifth generation Northern Territory family, sustainability is at the heart of the Humpty Doo Barramundi brand. Their premium barramundi are sustainably grown within their award-winning pristine saltwater wetland system, which uses natural grasses to clean the water for recirculation, delivering optimum water quality for superior barramundi while protecting the unique environment around them. The farm is certified by Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP), a globally recognised program that ensures high standards of environmental and social responsibilities, animal welfare, food safety and traceability, as well as the Australian Sustainably Farmed Barramundi Certification Program (ASFBCP), which guarantees the fish have been sustainably farmed to meet high standards. Committed to ethical trade and responsible supply chain practices, Humpy Doo Barramundi is a contributing member of Sedex (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange).
Australian barramundi is an excellent source of lean protein and contains omega-3 fatty acids which have been shown to support heart and brain health. Regular consumption of omega-3s may help lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline. It is also a great source of many essential nutrients, including calcium and vitamin D for strong and healthy bones, immunity-boositing zinc, the powerful antioxidant selenium, and vitamin A for eye health.
Mildly sweet and buttery Humpty Doo barramundi has a firm yet delicate, flaky texture. It pairs beautifully with bold flavours and is suitable for a variety of cooking techniques, from grilling and pan-frying to baking and braising. We have loads of Aussie barramundi recipes for you to try on our menu, like Crispy Australian Barramundi and Vegetables with Garlic Beans and Aioli (pictured above), Easy Spicy Thai-Style Aussie Barramundi with Mango-Slaw, Chilli Dressing and Peanuts, or Creamy Turmeric Australian Barramundi Curry with Rice, Eggplant and Crispy Curry Leaves.
Basa
Basa is a white fish that is often used as an alternative to cod or haddock. It has a light texture with a moist flesh and mild fish flavour that makes it extremely versatile to cook with. Basa is low in calories, a good source of protein and is naturally low in fat, and as a result it often features in our Nutritious and Calorie-Conscious recipes.
Sourced from Australian-operated seafood supplier KB Seafood Co, our basa fillets are sustainably farmed in Vietnam and are Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) certified. You’ll find basa on our menu in a range of recipe styles, like our 15-Min Asian Basa Fish with Noodle Salad and Sesame Seeds (pictured above), Golden Fish Katsu with Japanese Rice and Apple Slaw, Basa Laksa with Coconut, Bamboo Shoots and Lime, plus Caribbean-Spice Fish Tacos with Chilli Tomato Salsa.
Mussels
We’re proud to source our mussels from Yumbah Aquaculture, Australia’s premier supplier of organic, sustainable blue mussels. They’re farmed in the pristine waters of Mount Martha in the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria and Port Lincoln, South Australia. These are both particularly nutrient-rich environments where there is no need for adding fertilisers or feed to the water. The mussels are harvested early in the morning, cleaned, scrubbed and de-bearded, then packed in Yumbah’s ‘Sea-Sure’ packaging, which mimics the natural ocean environment.
As a bi-valve, mussels are vital for balancing ocean ecosystems; they filter up to 20 litres of sea water daily. Their process of shell formation removes carbon dioxide from the sea, supporting an improved marine environment. Because they don’t require intervention or any manufactured feed, Yumbah mussels are a highly sustainable protein. Yumbah Aquaculture also oversees a hatchery for replenishing mussels, which is part of their overall approach to sustainability. This ensures that the wild mussel populations in the area are replenished and thrive, which reduces the risks of overfishing and depletion. In 2024, Yumbah Aquaculture was awarded the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) Best Responsible Seafood Producer Award, which recognises the company’s ongoing commitment to sustainable aquaculture farming and investment in renewable energy.
Versatile, delicious and high quality, mussels are always a treat. They’re an excellent source of lean protein, iron, zinc, omega-3 fats and vitamin B12. Please note that the mussels in our recipes have been cooked prior to packaging, which is why their shells may already be partially or fully opened; refer to your recipe card for cooking instructions. Enjoy their sweet, fresh and briny flavours in recipes such as our Moules Marinières with Cream, Garlic and Sourdough Baguette (pictured above), Mussels Marinara Pasta with Radish and Spinach Salad, or Hot and Sour Thai Curry Mussels with Snow Peas and Steamed Rice.
Prawns
Because we know you love prawns as much as we do, we’re happy that they’re healthy as well as delicious! High in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, they’re low in calories and incredibly low in fat. They’re also a good source of B-group vitamins, which can support muscle development and replenish red blood cells, as well as selenium (vital for healthy cells) and zinc (which supports the immune system).
Our prawns are sourced by KB Seafood Co in Western Australia from Vietnam using exacting quality standards, including Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP). This seafood-specific certification programme ensures that all social responsibility issues, plus those around food safety, animal health, welfare and the environment, are carefully addressed at every step of the way. KB Seafood Co is Australian-operated and maintains a commitment to promoting sustainable, environmentally friendly practices. Operating to the highest standard and compliance with the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and with state-of-the-art production facilities, they comply with numerous certifications including from the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), which aims to end overfishing and restore fishery stocks for future generations.
Our sweet, lean and versatile peeled prawns are perfect for a whole range of recipes, including many of our healthy ones. They’re quick-cooking, with techniques like pan-frying, stir-frying, steaming, grilling and fast-baking among the best. Look for prawns in exciting dishes such as Garlic-Chilli Prawn Spaghetti with Baby Spinach (pictured above), Lemongrass Garlic Prawn Stir-Fry with Jasmine Rice and Satay Sauce, plus Chargrilled Prawns with Sichuan Salt and Wasabi Mayo.
