sardine garum
Meticulously produced from Port Lincoln sardines, our brand new Sardine Garum is aged for 12 months and harvested using the Purse Seine method in the pristine waters of the Spencer Gulf. Branded as "garum exquisitum," this world-class delicacy boasts a minimalist composition, featuring only two ingredients: salt and fresh sardines - no additional spices. The pinnacle of purity, our sardine garum offers unparalleled versatility that resonates with an unmistakable umami essence.
Made in Port Lincoln, South Australia
WHAT IS GARUM?
Sardine garum is a type of fish sauce that originated in ancient Rome. It's made by fermenting whole sardines or sardine parts with salt and sometimes additional herbs and spices. The fermentation process breaks down the fish and produces a liquid that is rich in umami, often used as a seasoning or condiment.

testimonial
I’ve been a chef for over 25 years, I’ve seen a lot of food, eaten many things and yet I never grow tired of tasting salt, sour, sweet, even bitter, but especially umami. I’ve taken my restaurant, FYN, to 37th place in the world with San Pellegrino’s 50 Best because of my love and devotion to it.
I search endlessly for ingredients that are loaded with it or ones that can boost and enhance it. Umami is the building block of deliciousness and is my holy grail of cooking satisfaction. A meal will never be a meal if it is absent… merely sustenance, barely food. Umami is my one true love. Enter Port Lincoln Sardine Garum and a whole new world of umami opportunity.
Since I’ve been using it in my food the customer feedback has been incredible my ramen broths are deeper and richer, my sauces have a flavour halo around them and my shellfish seems alive again.
It’s the best garum I’ve tasted and one of the best ingredients on the market for chefs and foodies. Do yourself a favour and get some!

sustainability statement
Australian fisheries are among the best managed in the world. Research has provided the backbone for this transformation, from understanding fish biology, movements and ecosystems, to developing standard approaches for fisheries assessment and ecosystem-based management. At Antarctic Royal Seafood we are committed to continuing this progress, only sourcing from responsible Australian fisheries and supplying as Mother Nature intended with minimal intervention during the processing stage.
