Golden Grey Mullet

B tier

Golden grey mullet (Chelon auratus) shows gold tints on the head and flanks—a Mediterranean-Atlantic mullet with firm flesh used like other grey mullets for grilling and baking. Eating quality is good from clean habitats; avoid polluted harbours. Cook simply with olive oil and herbs. Smaller average size than some flatheads means portion whole fish more often. A species-aware choice on southern European slabs.
