Mullets are a flavoursome fish, well priced and widely available. To produce the best results when cooking consider baking, grilling or smoking the mullet to bring out the rich flavours. The Mullets’ natural and healthy oil levels allow dishes containing Mullet to be easily matched with white wines of high acidity. These styles of wines usually come from the cooler Australian growing regions where the advent of winter halts the ripening process, leaving grapes with high acidity that is later transferred into the wine.
