Instructions

1

Place the mullet in a bowl and thaw it in the refrigerator overnight if using frozen. Wash the fish under running water. Drain and pat dry with a paper towel. Set the fish aside on a flat plate.
2

Sprinkle a little salt, pepper, lemon juice or any other light seasoning on the mullet.
3

Bread the mullet by pouring a little cornmeal in a separate flat plate. Dip the fish in the cornmeal to coat it.
4

Set a non-stick skillet on a medium heat source. Pour a little vegetable oil in it. Heat the pan for 3 minutes or until it turns smoky.
5

Place the mullet in the skillet, skin-side down. Fry for 2 minutes on each side or until the fish is lightly browned and has a crisp texture.
6

Turn off the heat. Remove the fish from the pan with a spatula. Place it on a flat plate covered with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
