A 900g bag of wild-caught whole red mullet — 2 to 3 fish per pack. Classified as a round white fish, but with a kind of butteriness and rich sweetness you usually only find in shellfish. The Mediterranean’s most prized small fish, with pearlised iridescent skin and a flavour that’s both delicate and robust.
