I had a fish at the national trust restaruant that |I have never had before called Barramundi, originally from the warm waters of Australia, is now reared in the heart of the New Forest. Renowned for its unique, delicate, sweet taste and succulent, firm, white flesh, this exciting new fish is fresh from the New Forest!
