Cortez, fishers await mullet run

For recreational fishers, the fall mullet run can be
a smoking good time.
For commercial fishers, the fall mullet run can be
do or die.
Mullet are found worldwide in tropical and sub-
tropical waters, including Florida’s bays and estuar-
ies and along the state’s Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
The primary fishery for Florida mullet is the Gulf.
Mullet — dark bluish on the top and silver on the
sides — feed on aquatic plant and algae, swim in large
schools and run in the waters in the late fall, when the
fish migrate from the back bays to the deeper waters
to spawn.
Islanders will know when mullet are fat with fish
eggs and on the run because castnetters will multi-
ply by large numbers on Anna Maria’s north end and
dozens a day will launch boats from the ramps at
Coquina Beach.
“They’re not quite ready to be caught yet,” said Karen
Bell of A.P. Bell Fish Co. in Cortez. “There are some that
have roe in them, but no, they’re not ready yet.”
The run traditionally lasts until late December or
early January and is influenced by cold fronts over the
Gulf of Mexico.
Though no part of the mullet is discarded at A.P
Bell, Bell said it’s the roe that is the fisher’s prize.
There is a lucrative market for the roe in Europe and
east Asia.
Bell said the market for the roe is not strong
in the United States because of the price, not the
taste.
The mullet roe also has cultural value in east Asia,
where it is given as a gift to celebrate the new year. The
U.S. custom is to eat black-eyed peas on new year’s day
for good luck; the custom in east Asia is to eat mullet roe
on new year’s eve for fortune and prosperity.
In more recent years, Bell’s company has sold its
roe to a distributor in Italy for the European market.
Mullet on the menu
• Mullet is a firmly textured, lean fish, with a light
meat and moderate flavor.
• Buy a pound per serving of a whole or drawn
fish; a half-pound per serving of a dressed or
clean fish; a quarter-pound per serving of a fillet
or steak.
• Purchase seafood last and keep it cold during the
trip home.
• Fresh whole fish should have a shiny surface
with tightly adhering scales, a mild aroma, similar to
the ocean.
• Fresh steaks, fillets and loins should have a trans-
lucent look, flesh that is firm.
• Keep raw and cooked seafood separate to prevent
bacterial cross-contamination.
• If you marinate seafood, always keep in the
refrigerator.
• For cooking, the general rule is 10 minutes per
inch of thickness, at the thickest part of the fillet or
steak, at 400-450 degrees Fahrenheit.
• If fish is cooked in parchment, foil or a sauce,
add five minutes to the total cooking time.
• Fillets less than a half-inch thick do not need to
be turned during cooking.
• Fish cooks quickly; do not overcook.
• Fish is done when the flesh becomes opaque and
flakes easily when tested with a fork.
• The two most commercially harvested varieties
of mullet in Florida are the striped mullet (Mugil ceph-
alus) and white mullet (Mugil curema). The striped
mullet is commonly called a black mullet, gray mullet
or jumping mullet and the white mullet also is called
a silver mullet.
