Red Mullet is a delicate fish that cooks incredibly fast, making it perfect for quick, delicious meals. Here is how to get the best results:

The Crispy Pan-Fry (Tava): This is the ultimate way to enjoy Barbun. Lightly coat your cleaned fish in seasoned flour or cornmeal. Shallow-fry in hot olive oil for 3–4 minutes on each side until the skin turns wonderfully crispy and golden. Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon and a side of fresh rocket.

Oven Baking: Place the fish in a baking dish, drizzle with high-quality olive oil, add sliced garlic, fresh cherry tomatoes, bay leaves, and lemon slices. Bake at 190°C for about 10–12 minutes.
We want to ensure complete transparency with your order:

Whole Option: You receive 1kg of whole fish exactly as they are caught.

Fully Cleaned & Gutted Option: We weigh the fish at 1kg gross weight first, and then our expert team scales and cleans them for you. Please note that removing the scales and internal organs naturally reduces the final net weight slightly, but your fish will arrive 100% kitchen-ready with zero mess for you to clean!"
Is this 1kg Red Mullet pack delivered fresh or frozen?

It is delivered 100% fresh and chilled. We source our wild-caught Red Mullet daily and ship it immediately. We never freeze our fish before delivery.

How many individual fish are in a 1kg pack?

Depending on the daily catch size, a 1kg pack typically contains between 5 to 8 medium-sized Red Mullet (Barbun), making it the perfect portion size for 2 to 3 people.

Can I freeze the fish if I don't cook it immediately?

Yes, absolutely! Because we deliver it fresh and chilled, you can safely store it in your fridge for up to 2 days, or place the fish directly into airtight freezer bags and freeze them for up to 3 months.
