What Mike said. Those in most fresh-water lagoons and impoundments are dark in colour and can take on a 'muddy' taste originating from algae in the water. Saltwater fish on the other hand are quite silver and are very good eating. Barramundi are catadromous, the opposite of salmon.

No idea of weight, I have lengths marked on my flyrod and use that (or a tape-measure if in my boat) to get a quick length before release. Saltwater barra generally get released into my ice-box!

Thanks. I was wondering if you catch and release, but thought you would call me silly, they go in the ice-box!

Re flavour, I find ANY wild caught barra is preferrable to the fish farm barra we have in Southern supermarkets, which are bland in comparison.
