son caught a few mullet today . he cleaned them and I thru them in the grease . some of you may think there the trash side of fish but they show are good fresh.
KJ I like them too but there even better than sardines. :wink: :lol: :mrgreen:
I guess y'all have different growing conditions, or something.In Florida, striped mullet can be found on the menus of many restaurants, but in the western Gulf of Mexico (Texas and Louisiana waters), they take on an oily taste and are generally not eaten. Instead, mullet are harvested for use as a bait fish.
The Atlantic did not have an oil spill to contaminate everything. Since mullet eat vegetation and have gizzards my guess is they are ingesting small amounts of oil residue ( from the spill ) in the Texas and Louisianian section of the Gulf that has settled on or in the vegetation and are retaining some of the oil. I don't think I would want to eat any from that section of the Gulf but some from the west side of Florida around the keys and Florida Bay should be OK.mike said:I don't know of anyone who eats Mullet. They are bait fish here. Texas Parks and Wildlife tells me why:

Depends - the lazy house cat will be better fed and therefore fatter (greasy!). Whereas the lion, who has to work for a living, will be leaner and more heart healthy. :roll:texastom said:Hmmm, I've never eaten a lion or a House cat. Which is better?
I bet you have and never knew it , especially house cat , Ever eat at a Chinese place ? :roll:texastom said:Hmmm, I've never eaten a lion or a House cat. Which is better?
i dunno, Bob. Maybe you pack a few viennies and gritz along side those bay mullett, someone might like them. ;=}}Wannabe said:<CLIP> Eat bay mullet once and you won't do it again. Great bait.
