Red mullet is a small fish with striking pink skin and firm, sweet flesh that carries a hint of shellfish. The flavour is fuller than most fish of its size, which is why it stands up to saffron, fennel and other Mediterranean company, and the skin holds its colour and crisps well.

We prepare it at the Barnes counter whole and cleaned, headed, or filleted and pin-boned with the skin left on, scaled by hand.

Pan-fry fillets skin-side down for two to three minutes then briefly on the flesh, or roast a whole scored fish at 200C for 10 to 15 minutes. The bones make a fine base for fish soup.

The Journal guide to pan-frying for crisp skin suits red mullet fillets.

Storage and preparation

Keep it wrapped on the coldest shelf of the fridge, usually the bottom shelf at the back, and use it within one to two days. If you need longer, wrap it tightly, freeze it quickly and defrost in the fridge overnight before cooking.
