Australian Wild Barramundi

In a project funded by the FRDC, they engaged us to do market research to find the best ways to get Australian wild Barramundi back on the plates and in the hearts and minds of consumers. Partnering with Curtin University and the University of the Sunshine Coast, we sought the help of the foodservice and hospitality sectors to discuss prevailing issues about wild-caught Australian barramundi and what approaches to take in order to improve market share for this iconic species.  Working hand in hand with fishers allowed us to dive deeper and have more in-depth insights regarding the challenges of the industry and how to bridge that gap. Another obstacle we had to face is understanding what each segment needs from a wild-caught Barramundi product.    Our team worked through a five-step approach of ‘Explore, Talk, Identify, Support and Strategise’ to regenerate interest and let wild-caught Barramundi thrive once more.
