Grey mullet are plump, silvery fish with large scales and a broad, flat mouth. They live close to the shore and in estuaries, and several kinds are found in Cornish waters, where they are caught by small inshore boats and beach netters.
The flesh is meaty, slightly oily and full of flavour, with a firm flake. Fish from clean, open water have a fresh taste, and mullet is a good value choice for anyone who likes a fish with more character than cod or haddock.

Score the skin a few times before grilling so it crisps evenly and the fillet does not curl.
