Why is it good for you and your eyes?

Barramundi is rich in DHA/EPA omega-3 fatty acids necessary for retinal, neurological and brain health. In addition, these fatty acids support the wellness of the ocular surface aiding in the amelioration of dry eye symptoms. DHA/EPA omega-3 fatty acids are abundant in cold water fatty fish, mollusks and shrimp.

According to several studies (Salisbury Eye Evaluation 2010, Eye Disease Case Control 2016) the consumption of fish reduces the incidence of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD). For eye wellness, it is recommended to consume fish two or more times per week.
