Grey Mullets

  • About

There are in the family Mugilidae seven Mediterranean species, of which five concern us here. These fish, generally known as grey mullet or, in French, mulet, are beautifully streamlined. They have small mouths and feed on organic matter (exactly what organic matter is important, since this affects their taste). They are essentially coastal fish, and may be found in salt-water lakes, e.g. the Lake of Tunis, as well as in river estuaries.

Of the five species catalogued, the second, third and fifth occur in British waters. The first occurs on the eastern seaboard of the USA, south of Cape Cod, and is known by Americans as the striped mullet.
