United States-based barramundi producer Australis Aquaculture's new Hand-Cut Taco Strips are a natural extension for the company, according to Jonathan Daen, CFO of the company.

Foodservice operators have been using Australis Aquaculture's products in fish tacos for several years before the taco strips were introduced in a ready-made form this year, he told IntraFish.

"We trialed it with a number of customers and then introduced it into our standard product lineup this year," said Daen. "Our seafood distributors are just starting to take the taco product on."
