Dr Oz named Barramundi Fish as his number one superfood, but how do you prepare barramundi?  After not being able to find too many Barramundi Recipes online, I did a little experimenting and came up with the following Barramundi Recipes:

Barramundi only eat plankton, so they are not as high in mercury as other fish, however Barramundi still have the heart and brain healthy Omega 3’s that we all want.  I have had a little difficulty getting my hands on Barramundi.  If you live on the east coast, I have found Barramundi at Stew Leonards.  I heard that certain Costco’s also carry Barramundi, but so far I have not found it at mine.
