The couple will be cooking up their favourite barramundi dishes live for the public, serving fresh Aussie barra alongside stories that celebrate this versatile, proudly Australian fish.
“Barramundi is more than a fish, it’s a national icon,” said Cleary in a press release. “I grew up fishing with my grandfather, and it’s where my love of barra began. It’s a fish that’s always been part of my life, and part of Australia too.”
Todd added: “National Barramundi Day is about celebrating food, culture and connection. Barramundi is fresh, healthy and so simple to cook, it’s the kind of ingredient every Aussie can fall in love with.”
The Bondi Beach pop-up is part of the nationwide celebrations where over 150 restaurants, pubs, cafes and clubs will be serving specials made with locally farmed Australian barramundi throughout the period.
Cleary and Todd have crafted three exclusive recipes that cook barramundi in different ways – grilled, baked and steamed: tacos, en papillote, and a pani puri.
National Barramundi Day is an initiative from Australian Barramundi, which represents Humpty Doo Barramundi in the Northern Territory; Infinity Blue Barramundi in Queensland and Victoria; and Barramundi Gardens, Spring Creek Barramundi, Coral Coast Barramundi, and Daintree Saltwater Barramundi, which are all located in Queensland.
