The saying, 'fit for a king' denotes a product of impeccable quality. It's not often it literally means a king will try it. But in this case, caviar and kings go hand in hand. For anyone not previously familiar with the sustainable Murray River Cod produced by Aquna, in the NSW Riverina region, it certainly came under a spotlight during King Charles and Queen Camilla's recent visit to Australia. To learn more about this pioneering business, Aquna's CEO Ross Anderson joins me now to discuss:  Ross gives us an overview of Aquna and their unique approach to producing Murray Cod. He shares his favourite product or the best way to enjoy their beautiful product. Unlike commercial fishing, which is banned for wild Murray Cod, Aquna has pioneered an innovative open-pond farming method. Their commitment to sustainability means they avoid indoor, tank-based systems and focus on having one of the lowest environmental impacts in the industry. This approach has earned them multiple awards and even an invitation to an event with King Charles and Queen Camilla. Reflecting on the impact of the pandemic on production and, the next 18 months for Aquna. A key aspect of their sustainability efforts is ensuring that no runoff from their farm enters the Murray-Darling Basin's waterways. While the fish itself is a beautiful white-fleshed variety, their caviar is exceptionally rare and highly sought after. Ross reflects on the most unexpected experience in the business. The biggest misconceptions about land farmed Murray Cod. The ultimate dream for the future for Aquna.  We hope to see you back on the road soon, to learn more about how Australia grows on the next episode of Australian Farmers with Angie Asimus.     Links: Angie Asimus Connect with @angieasimus on Instagram Partnered with Australian Farmers Follow @australianfarmers on Instagram Aquna   Produced by Pretty Podcasts
