Petuna Ocean Trout
Petuna’s fine Ocean Trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss) are selectively bred, expertly nurtured and gently taken from one of the world’s most perfect growing environments. Only the best fingerlings from the Cressy hatchery are delivered to our sea farm sites in the vast unspoilt expanses of Macquarie Harbour, in Tasmania’s beautiful south-west wilderness.
The fish thrive in the layered waters of the harbour. Nutrient-rich tannin-stained fresh water flows from the mountains of Tasmania’s world heritage-listed Wild Rivers National Park to overlay the cool, unsullied seawater that surges in from the furious Southern Ocean. This creates a perfect growing environment – one of the few places left in the world for raising premium quality Ocean Trout.
Petuna operates the lowest stocking rates in Australia. This approach results in:
- A renowned firmness of flesh.
- A high fat content, rich in Omega-3 oils.
- A luscious marbling of the flesh.
- A harvest size ranging from 2.5 to 4–5kgs.
We offer fresh, head-on and gutted Ocean Trout, plus a full range of specialty products, including fillets, portions and smoked.
