Grey mullet is a silver coastal fish with firm white flesh and a fuller, more savoury flavour than sea bass. The flake is moderate and holds its shape, and the skin crisps well in a hot pan. Its roe is the traditional base of bottarga.

We prepare it at the Barnes counter whole and cleaned for roasting, filleted with the skin on for the pan or skinned if you prefer, scaled and pin-boned by hand.

Roast a whole fish at 200C for around 20 minutes with lemon and herbs in the cavity, or pan-fry fillets skin-side first for three minutes then a minute on the flesh. It stands up to garlic, chermoula and other bold seasoning.
