Today you will find plenty of mullet inside cans of cat food !!!

Mullet is a good eating fish. But for some reason people don't think they are good. Hence, they go to pet food and there are big $$$ in pet food.
45 years ago I fished commercially in New Zealand for mullet, running 350 metres of float net from a 4 metre boat. Biggest catch was 400 kilos. Fish were sold to a fish factory that sent mullet to Arab countries. Sea run mullet are fantastic eating when wood smoked.
