How to bake Red Mullet:
With the demise and shortage of cod people are now trying the more unusual varieties of fish which are becoming more readily available in supermarkets. Unfortunately because of supermarkets the smaller fish mongers have all but disappeared along with their specialist knowledge and correct handling and storage of fish. Red mullet is an acquired taste but is well worth trying.
