Details

Red Mullet is Mitch's favourite fish, and for good reason. With small white flakes and tender juicy flesh it is one of the best eating fish in the sea.

Red Mullet skin has a shellfish-like flavour which can be brought out by cooking it under the grill and serving with a simple salad.

Frequently asked questions about Whole Red Mullet

How do you cook whole red mullet?

Whole red mullet is best grilled, roasted or pan fried. Slash the skin a couple of times, rub with olive oil and salt, and grill for 4 to 5 minutes each side, or roast at 200C (180C fan) for 10 to 12 minutes. It is ready when the flesh comes cleanly away from the bone.

Can you eat the skin of red mullet?

Yes, the skin is one of the best parts of a red mullet. It has a distinctive shellfish-like flavour, which is brought out by cooking the fish under a hot grill until the skin crisps. Our whole red mullet is scaled, so the skin is ready to eat.

Is your whole red mullet scaled and gutted?

Yes, our whole red mullet is scaled and gutted by our fishmongers, so it is ready to cook. Each fish weighs at least 180g and serves one person. It is sold whole on the bone with the skin on, and is vacuum packed the same day.

Does whole red mullet have a lot of bones?

Whole red mullet is cooked on the bone, and like most small round fish it has a backbone and a row of fine pin bones. Once cooked, the fillets lift off the backbone easily with a knife and fork. If you would rather avoid bones, choose our red mullet fillets.

What goes well with red mullet?

Red mullet loves Mediterranean flavours. Olive oil, tomatoes, olives, fennel, orange, saffron, garlic and basil all suit its rich, sweet flesh. Keep it simple, with a tomato salad or some roasted fennel alongside the grilled fish, and let the flavour of the mullet do the work.

Can you freeze whole red mullet?

Yes, whole red mullet can be frozen on the day it arrives and is best used within about three months. Defrost it overnight in the fridge and pat the skin dry before grilling. Otherwise keep it refrigerated and cook it by the date on the pack.

Why is Rockfish fish so fresh?

At Rockfish, we pride ourselves on delivering the freshest fish you can find. Our location right on the quayside means we’re just steps away from the day’s catch. This proximity allows us to inspect and select only the finest quality fish, ensuring that what reaches your plate is nothing short of exceptional. From the moment the fish is landed, it takes just a short 17-meter journey to our dedicated fishmonger unit, where it’s expertly prepared within hours.

How is the fish prepared?

To maintain peak freshness, we portion and vacuum-pack every piece of seafood on the same day it’s landed. This keeps the fish in pristine condition, clean, and easy to handle for cooking. Whether it’s destined for our restaurants or your home, you can trust that Rockfish fish is as fresh as it gets - straight from the sea to your table in record time.

How does my fish arrive?

Your fish portions are individually vac packed which keeps the fish pristine, easy to handle, and completely odour-free, making unpacking and storing a breeze. All of the fish clearly identifies the boat that caught it giving full traceability and links you to cooking instructions.

Sustainable packaging

We also take pride in our sustainable packaging. Our delivery boxes are made from recycled plastics, offering strength and excellent insulation to keep your seafood perfectly chilled throughout its journey to your home. Our boxes are so good your order will stay cold for up to 48 hours which is much longer than your order will take to arrive to you.

You can even return your box to us, and we’ll work with our recycling partner to transform it into outdoor furniture - creating a sustainable loop for your order.
