Thicklip Grey Mullet

A tier

Thicklip grey mullet (Chelon labrosus) is a Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean mullet with blunt thick lips and firm tasty flesh—often preferred by some European cooks over thinlip species. Flavour is clean when from open coasts. Grill whole or bake. Similar bottarga potential when roe is mature. Distinguish from flathead by regional landings; all need careful gutting and fresh handling.
