OK...so KNOWING you wuz from Georjah, you can imagine I had a completely different picture in my mind. :twisted:
Nice looking Fish!




Beat me by just a few seconds Chris...

I never thought of smoking mullet. In the winter I can take a cast net and catch all I can carry. Do you use a rub or anything on them?

 

[peppasawce]

Looks like Salt and Pepper was used to season his Mullet to my eyes, but I could be wrong..I would use Old Bay seasoning on that Mullet..I used it on some Smoked Red Snapper and it was a hit..I hope your fish turns out great capri man

 

[Southern Home Boy]

Thank goodness! That looks great!

At first I was worried I would see this...

Hey Mike, what the heck is a mullet? We must either not have them here, or we call them something else.

According to Wiki:

The mullets or Grey mullets are a family (Miguelita) of ray-finned fish found worldwide in coastal temperate and tropical waters, and in some species in fresh water also. Mullets have served as an important source of food in Mediterranean Europe since Roman times. The family includes about 80 species in 17 genera.

Mullets are distinguished by the presence of two separate dorsal fins, small triangular mouths, and the absence of a lateral line organ. They feed on detritus, and most species have unusually muscular stomachs and a complex pharynx to help in digestion.

Mullets are GREAT if they are fresh!

If you don't live on the Coast though they lose a lil' something in the shipping if you know what I mean!

Some of the best fish I have ever ate was at a Fish House on the water in Pensacola. You could watch them unload the Mullet from the boats as you ate...

Ahhh... I miss that place!

 

[Chef Jim]

Mullet? I had once heard of a restaurant in N.O. That was named that but used a French pronunciation. Mu Ley. :crazy:

We use mullet for bait around here, never thought of eating them. The things I learn here.

Looks good! What's the temp?

 

[SmokeJumper]

Those are some tasty looking fish. What temp did you smoke them at?

I thought a smoked mullet is what you get when you make a cognac syrup.
