Not if you fillet properly

Glad to know that AJ ..... haven't been fishing for a while now (4 years), but will now try for them next time I do.

Last time we fished at Forster we caught 5 fish, all different species, just along the channel. They made fabulous fish pies with all the different types combined.

Just make sure you don't have any skin or gut lining and the humble old mullet are nice but even the tiniest bit of skin or gut lining and you can toss the lot out as it will taste like mud.

With the good sea mullet I just scale and fillet them, I also remove the rib cage along with the black lining and take out the laterals at the same time.
The skin if you cook it right goes nice and crispy and is pretty much the best bit, a lot like the crackling on a pork roast :drooling:

Will be cheating tonight with my cooking chore, We went into Onslow to do some shopping and I got a cooked chook while I was there

[robbiegal]

yes the black lining is usually bitter in most fish i think
when i used to work in a cannery (back in the days when they actually had Australian based manufacturing) we'd scrape out the black lining and bin it for the kitty kat canned food production line

[ausjack]

Yes I was talking about river mullet but sea mullet are better and cleaner as mullet just love getting into the mud.

I remember catching huge mullet in the Clarence River when I was kid.One time my brother nearly got pulled in by one and I had to drag him back from the edge of the jetty

[ausjack]

So many people don't like them because you have to clean them so well but they're a good fish and yes Stevo they can get pretty big :winkextra:

yikes!

[ausjack]

It's exactly where I live RG and know the jetty that Stevo is talking about really well.
And that's down for Stevo but up for you unless you read a map upside down.
