Bought a whole grey mullet last week and as it was the use by date put it in the freezer.
Today I defrosted it and read some information to get an idea about the fish and best way to cook it. Apparently it's a 'bottom feeder' (no jokes please) and can taste a little muddy. Anyway I topped and tailed it and then gutted it and I can see why it was described as tasting muddy. So it's been cleaned and baking in the oven...can't wait to taste.
Anybody tried this fish? |

Nope. And by the sounds of it I don't think I'll bother!  |

I don't think you'd have liked to have been present when I was wielding the knife  |

Gorgeous fish!! Use a little lime, ginger and chilli on top, wrap in grease proof and pop in oven - streams in its own juices ( haven't we all!) and as tender as a tender thing! |

I was surprised how tender and tasty it was after the information I read and preparing it.
I had it baked in olive oil with a light seasoning. I'll take your advice as the lime chilli ginger combination sounds delicious  |
