A Tribute to Island Waters
“Mullet fish reflects the simplicity and abundance of life in the Pacific,” Chef Garden Clam’Sea shares. “By marinating it in flavors inspired by the region, you can transform it into something truly extraordinary while keeping its natural taste intact.”

Ingredients

• 4 whole mullet fish, cleaned and gutted

• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1-inch piece of ginger, grated

• 1 red chili, finely chopped (optional)

• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

• 1 teaspoon honey or brown sugar

• A handful of fresh cilantro and parsley, finely chopped

• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation Method

• Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together lime juice, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, chili, coconut oil, and honey. Stir in the fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper.

• Marinate the Fish: Score the mullet fish on both sides to allow the marinade to penetrate. Place the fish in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, pour the marinade over it, and massage gently to coat. Let the fish marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

• Grill or Pan-Fry: Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking. Cook the marinated fish for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the skin is crispy and the flesh flakes easily with a fork.

• Serve and Garnish: Transfer the cooked fish to a serving platter and drizzle with any remaining marinade that has been cooked through. Garnish with additional fresh herbs and lime wedges.

Health Benefits
Mullet fish is an excellent source of lean protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals like phosphorus and selenium. The addition of lime juice and fresh herbs not only enhances the flavor but also provides a boost of vitamin C and antioxidants.

Chef’s Tip
For an extra layer of flavor, wrap the fish in banana leaves before grilling. This method locks in moisture and infuses the fish with a subtle earthy aroma.
