Black Sea red mullet

Description

Small but mighty! That's exactly how you could describe this little fish that's full of flavor. You can cook it in the oven, in a pan, or on the grill. Today we'll fry it in a pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip it over immediately. Fry the fish with breading or without it.
