There are a few different fish species called mullet. In nc we call them virginia mullet, sea mullet,king fish. Up north they call them whiting...... I think what you have is a [size=-3][size=-3][size=-3][font=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Striped mullet (Mugil cephalus), black mullet, and fatback[/font][/size][/size][/size]. I netted about thirty in my cast net about 20 inches long in one throw last week ay carolina beach.. the were chasing the thread fin shad.......
how was the taste.. I havent tried them... I threw them all back accept a few for cut bait.....
