Thread: Alaqua Mullet

Went to a smokehouse in St. Pete with a friend 40 yrs ago and got several things to go back to orlando. Smoked mullet and smoked spanish mackeral were in the bag. Chuck had to put the squash on me eating all his wife's spanish and that was the first time I had smoked mullet. It was very good, but the spanish was better. I also had a butterflied smoked jack crevalle given me while fishing the Ponce inlet jetty once, and offered the man $5 for another but he wouldn't sell his lunch. Imagine that. Way better than I have ever heard of anyone speak of crevalle. He said the oil in the fish, when done right, wasn't an issue. He said his cat wouldn't eat em raw. This has convinced me that it is definitely in the prep and the secret recipe. I have learned to try a little before I commit. Sorry you don't care for it cuz now you're biased and might miss that recipe that would do it for you.

Now that's funny right there!!! Being from Savannah, I never took a liking to them there fish. A whiting on the other hand was the cat's meow. That is until I started eating crappie.
