RED DRUM FROM PARADISE

Red Drum! It provokes memories of the “Blackened Redfish” that brought Cajun Chef Paul Prudhomme to stardom. Our fish come from a lush tropical location surrounded by coral reefs and unscarred by industry. The Republic of Mauritius is home to Ferme de Mahebourg Red Drum. You can find it off the southeastern coast of Africa in the Indian ocean. The superior texture from ocean raising makes it a candidate for any cooking application. Its full flavor does not get lost when blackened and it is an excellent choice for ceviche and sashimi. The flavor is amplified when cooked skin on, a crunchy compliment.

WHY MAURITIUS?

Ferme Marine de Mahebourg (FFM) was conceived and planned by Mauritians to create a world class aquaculture operation with a cornerstone commitment to respect the environment. Red Drum were the ideal choice for their debut, they thrive there! Red Drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) are native to the southeastern US from Virginia to Texas. Known as Redfish, Red Drum or Channel Bass depending on where you might find it.Unfortunately, the rich moist flesh of the Redfish made it a victim of its notoriety. Wild Red Drum became a Federally protected fish in the US and only small amounts of bycatch Red Drum reach the consumer each year. Farming became the only way to satisfy demand.

QUALITY ASSURED

LFM Red Drum are Ocean Raised. Traditionally Red Drum have been farm raised in land-based ponds that remove the fish from the natural rhythm of the sea. But the lagoons between the coast and coral reef surrounding Mauritius offer a perfect environment to ocean raise Red Drum. Deep water and a constant breeze from the Southeast trade winds create a natural circulation of the water for the fish to swim in. Quality Assured. The fish are fed a careful diet of non-GMO feed that contains no hormones, antibiotics or land-based animal proteins. The result is a superior Red Drum. FFM is vertically integrated with complete traceability from egg to your table. Their success has established them as the leader for the developing Mauritian aquaculture sector and they have achieved Global Gap certification for superior aquaculture practices.
