Eating Mullet---I just can't...

New posts
You should have tried the fried mullet along with a side of cheese grits and slaw. One of my favorite meals ever. It's rare to find mullet on a menu because it has to be super fresh and fried right. When you have a chance to order it, do it!
 
I actually tried the mullet at GSC Friday for lunch because everyone in town was talking about how fresh and delicious it was. And I have to say they were right, as we tried the mullet both fried and blackened and both were delicious! The hand cut homemade onion rings put it over the top!
 
One of the more memorable seafood meals I ever had was mullet. We were in Perdido Key, and a guy who knew what he was doing caught a bunch on the beach with a cast net, built a fire in a small hibachi grill and cooked those fish within 30 minutes of them swimming in the gulf. Excellent fish!
 
You left a restaurant because you didn't like a fish variety on the menu?

Great example of how prejudices prevent you from enjoying life. Mullet is quite tasty when fresh and cooked properly. Lionfish is delicious too.
 
Prejudice against a fish? Now I've heard it all...lol.
The fact is I enjoy life immensely, take nothing for granted and beat a major illness. I asked a simple question about a particular fish. Just because I choose not to eat and spend my money on a fish you enjoy, allows you to judge me?

You take your Mullet too seriously, loosen up!

I was surprised to see that you left a restaurant because mullet was on the menu as you originally posted, because mullet was on the menu - or maybe you were just joking around? I think we're just letting you know that mullet is a special treat rarely served by local restaurants that is also very much appreciated by many - it's usually a special treat fried up in big batches after your fishermen friends catch a few net fulls and cook it on the spot (rare but special experience for me). But you certainly do not have to order it or eat it! If I'm at Grayton Seafood Co in Grayton Beach, I defintely do order it if they have it, which is OFTEN.

I appreciate your question and curiosity because many people may also wonder about this fish dish.

Mullet is delicious. Definitely give it a shot any time you see it on the menu, especially at Grayton Seafood Company. Kenny serves the best fish he can find. Heck, not too long ago triggers were considered trash fish. Now they're a delicacy.
 
I've had it smoked. It's delicious.
