Frequently Asked Questions about Mullet

Mullet (often referring to the red mullet, Mullus surmuletus) is a small ray-finned fish with a reddish color, belonging to the mullidae (goatfish) family. It is known for its fine, slightly sweet taste and is often caught along European coasts.

Mullet lives mainly in the North Sea, especially along the South Holland and Zeeland coasts, in the Wadden Sea, and sometimes in the Eastern Scheldt. It likes sandy bottoms or shell banks in shallow places.

Mullet feeds on:

  • Mollusks – it uses its bearded threads to scour the seabed
  • Worms
  • Small crustaceans
  • Other bottom-dwelling organisms

Mullet is tastiest when cooked:

  • In the oven with vegetables and white wine — fine meat cooks quickly and is very flavorful
  • Baked in olive oil or butter with lemon and fresh herbs
  • Grilled on the barbecue, whole or as fillets
  • À la Méditerranée — with tomato, garlic, olives, and basil

Mullet is a reasonably sustainable choice, especially when caught with lines or small-scale nets. In the North Sea, the population is stable, though bottom trawling methods are less environmentally friendly.

  • Best in shallow water with rising tide and warm weather
