They tasted just as you described. That being said mullet caught from anywhere in the intercoastal are the finest fish you could ever put in your mouth if they are fresh. I am lousy with a cast net but I have a friend that brings me mullet from Fort Morgan and they are unbelievable. The only fish I can think of that tastes better is a small black snapper.Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:21:21 GMTwrightacklehttp://www.pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic139216-15-1.aspxI would rather have the mullet than white trout,speck trout, king, spanish, or ling... Born &amp; Raised on mullet right here, if your not raised here you probably wont like mullet, no soft fish for me....

The mullet that live in the bay and gulf over sand taste much, much better. Almost like too different fish. Try some mullet from some were like Chets in Pensacola, you will like it if you like fish.</P><P>Charles (Pensacola)Mon, 07 Jul 2008 07:49:09 GMTHot Doghttp://www.pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic139216-15-1.aspxFor me, the only way that mullet are good eating are when they are smoked. Once you have them prepped before placing them in the smoker, its a necessity to apply lots of salt!! The ole Uncles recipe.Mon, 07 Jul 2008 00:47:37 GMTGatorBaithttp://www.pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic139216-15-1.aspxToo many other "good fish" to eat to mess with mullet.Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:33:54 GMTDeath From Abovehttp://www.pensacolafishingforum.com/fishingforum/Topic139216-15-1.aspxThanks for the laugh, I can always use one. I don't eat mullet and now you know why:doh!

Being new to the area I decided I would try frying them up so got the oil hot, dipped fillets in egg/milk mixture and then rolled in fish fry mix. They tasted like Mud. Did I do something wrong or do they just taste shitty? Kids had a blast!Thu, 03 Jul 2008 12:13:36 GMT38bat
