Marinated Mullet
Description
It works both for a holiday and for everyday meals. This grey mullet is perfect for a festive table, replacing the usual herring. Or you can serve it with hot boiled round potatoes for lunch and dinner. Store the fish in the refrigerator for no more than 3–4 days. If desired, you can add mustard seeds, pink or white pepper to the marinade. Since the marinade contains vinegar, it is best to use glass or food-grade plastic containers suitable for this purpose. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
