About Fish, mullet, striped, raw
Striped mullet, also called flathead gray mullet, is a coastal fish found in warm and temperate waters worldwide, from the Gulf and Atlantic to the Mediterranean, Asia, and Australia. It has a firm, flavorful, slightly rich flesh that grills and smokes beautifully, and it is a mainstay of seaside cooking in many cultures, fried, baked, or turned into fish stews. Its most celebrated product is the roe, which is salted, pressed, and dried into bottarga, a prized delicacy grated over pasta in Italy and enjoyed across the Mediterranean and East Asia.
Striped mullet is a good source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids along with vitamin B12, selenium, and phosphorus. The fuller flavor pairs especially well with bold seasonings, smoke, and citrus. Because it is an oilier fish, it is best cooked fresh and not held too long. Look for firm, bright fish with clear eyes, keep it very cold, and cook striped mullet soon after purchase to enjoy its rich, distinctive taste.
