Enjoy the taste of the Aussie summer with Tassal’s new seafood lineup
Summer is known for being the season for enjoying fresh, local seafood, and Tassal, Australia’s largest producer of Tasmanian grown Atlantic salmon, has announced an extension of its seafood offering just in time for the warmer months. Alongside salmon, the Tassal range now encompasses Queensland tiger prawns and barramundi from Cone Bay, Western Australia, making the brand synonymous with high quality Australian seafood.
There’s nothing more quintessentially Australian than sharing a platter of Aussie tiger prawns with friends in the sun, grilling salmon on the BBQ and enjoying the smooth ocean fresh taste of Aussie barramundi. With seafood options available to suit every palate, and a number of healthy benefits, Tassal is calling on Aussies to celebrate our beloved national cuisine this summer.
Celebrating the essence of Australian seafood are Tassal Ambassadors, chef Guy Turland and dietitian Susie Burrell.
Guy Turland, says, “There is so much versatility when it comes to cooking with seafood, and it’s one of my favourite proteins to cook with and eat. Tassal’s lineup of local prawns, salmon and barramundi makes for the perfect summer menu. No matter which one you choose, it’s a great way to elevate your everyday meals and make them a little bit special – and it doesn’t take much to make a delicious dish for yourself, or family and friends. I love the simplicity that comes with choosing quality Australian produce, and there are so many ways you can cook them up. With the addition of barramundi into the Tassal family, I’m excited to share my recipes and tips using this delicious, and perhaps underrated fish.”
Susie Burrell knows all too well that the warmer months are often a time when families and friends get together to enjoy a meal, and wants Aussies to know that just because it’s party season, you can still choose foods that are packed with healthy benefits. Susie says, “The festive season is a time to enjoy delicious food, and we don’t want to miss out on the flavour we love – but it also doesn’t have to mean we compromise our health. Seafood is an excellent choice for a festive menu, as it provides a nutritious balance to the more indulgent food that we normally wouldn’t consume as regularly as we do over December and January.”

“Research has shown that Australians don’t consume enough fish and seafood, with over half of Australian adults (55%) eating less than the government’s recommended guideline to eat seafood twice a week or more1. Tassal’s range of quality salmon, prawns and barramundi provide easy and delicious ways to incorporate omega-3, B-Group vitamins, and other essential minerals that contribute to our overall well being, into our diets,” Susie finishes.
Tassal’s range of seafood offers a multitude of health benefits on top of its quality and great taste:
Barramundi: Barramundi is a nutritional powerhouse. Packed with protein, vitamins, and minerals including zinc, barramundi is also rich in heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids. It’s a must-have for a healthier heart.
Prawns: Prawns are more than a seafood delicacy; they are rich in B vitamins, including B12 and folate, which support energy production and red blood cell formation. They’re also a source of vital trace minerals like iodine, and selenium2.
Salmon: Salmon is renowned for its omega-3 fatty acids, and contains many essential vitamins and minerals that our bodies require to function, particularly our brains and heath.
To showcase these fresh Tassal Australian seafood options, Guy Turland and Susie Burrell share their summer recipes that are perfect for the entertaining season, including:
