British Red Mullet Fillets

This small bright red fish is famed for its culinary reputation. Red Mullet has a really delicious texture, the perfect balance between white and oily fish, with small white flakes and tender juicy flesh, it really is one of the best tasting fish in the sea. Red Mullet skin has a shellfish-like flavour which can be brought out by cooking it under the grill. It is high in protein, high in fat and vitamin rich with plenty of Omega-3 fatty acids. Historically Red Mullet was considered a Mediterranean fish, however rising sea temperatures have meant there has been substantial northern migration of zooplankton, prime food for the Red Mullet, bringing them in abundance to our shores. They are found in plentiful numbers around the South Coast, usually caught by inshore day boats using gill nets. Red Mullet grow quickly, reaching maturity at about 2 years old, making it not only a really delicious choice, but a sustainable one also. Approximately 150g. Approximately 2 large or 3 smaller fillet
