Recipe for Pan Fried Mullet


Pan Fried Mullet on Green Beans and Smoked Bacon

Grey Mullet is a plentiful fish around the North Wales Coast, though a special knack is required in catching them, your best bet is to call at your local fishmonger.

Malcolm’s MermaidSeafood Llandudno has his finger on the pulse and the local fishermen know where to go and sail for their freshest fish.
Ask Malcolm to gut and scale your mullet
