The red mullet is a Galician fish that belongs to the family of Mullet (Perciformes). It is a fish that is difficult to find, as it can be found at depths of 50 to 100 meters, except during the spawning season when it approaches shallow waters. It is not a fish that reaches a large size, although it can weigh up to 1 kg. It is known as Galician red mullet due to its characteristic color between pink and red, reminiscent of salmon. A curiosity about this fish is that initially when caught it is brown and only adapts that reddish color when scaled.
The Galician red mullet in the diet
The red mullet is a very complete food, as it contains a low level of fat and a high protein content (25g per 100g of fish) and vitamins B1, B2, and B3. Although it is a fish that has quite a few bones, it makes it a very complete food for both the little ones in the house and for balanced diets. It is an Galician fish ideal for preparing in various ways, among which baking and frying stand out, although we can also prepare it grilled or over the coals!
