Wild Red Mullet Fillets are one of the most distinctive South West catches, admired for their striking colour, firm flesh, and rich, sweet flavour. Landed fresh through Brixham Fish Market, they are prepared to order and delivered in perfect condition, never previously frozen.
Why it’s special: Carefully selected at the Brixham Market auction, red mullet is prized by chefs for its exceptional flavour and versatility. Each fillet is trimmed and prepared by our skilled fishmongers, ensuring outstanding quality and freshness.
Quality & versatility: With its firm texture and bold taste, red mullet works beautifully with Mediterranean flavours, herbs, and spices. It is perfect for pan-frying, grilling, or roasting, holding its shape well while absorbing marinades and sauces.
Serving inspiration: Pan-fry fillets with garlic, olive oil, and fresh herbs for a light Mediterranean dish, or roast with tomatoes and fennel for a vibrant seafood supper.
