+brad99rocks Thanks, I appreciate it! I bet your grandpa can smoke up some really good ones :)

+Yolanda Wilson Thank you so much Yolanda, I really appreciate that and God bless you and your family as well :)

+Jeremiah Lopez Thanks so much Jeremiah! I have always loved casting for mullet, and white shrimp when they come into our bayous early fall, and as you can see my son loves it too.

+Thomas Ballard Thanks so much for the comment Thomas! Since you are talking about the 70's, then we must be pretty close to the same age. I've been throwing a cast net since the early 70's. My oldest brother use to work night shift at the paper mill, and a old man there taught him how to make mullet nets with a bag, not the brill nets like so many people use today. My brother made me one, and man I was down at the point of our beach every chance I got, to catch mullet. My dad loved them smoked, and so did I but we bought those from a seafood place just a few doors down from our house in Pascagoula, MS. It was ran and operated by a family out of Louisiana. The store is still there and now ran by the old mans grandson, and he does a fine job. Bigger and better than ever. They boil crawfish to sell, and smoke mullet to sell, and they now have a full seafood deli, and have for quite a few years now. I own a 8' mullet net now. I should have thrown it for this video. It would have caught more fish then the 6 foot bait net that my son threw, but hey, he did really good with that little net. When I use to catch them as a boy/teenager, momma would just fry them up, but once I grew up and learned how to smoke them, I never looked back ;) Most of the Frog Bone products are geared more toward seafood/cajun style cuisine, but if you want a good bbq rub, check out Killer Hogs BBQ Rub. Amazon.com carries it. I love that stuff!

+Totis Pap Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Greetings to Greece :)

+of1unsoundmind Thanks Larry, and you just gave me an idea. I don't have access to green citrus tree wood, but I do have orange wood which I've used on a few cooks, and it is a awesome smoke wood. Gonna give that a try next time I smoke mullet. The Alder wood is really good, but hard to find. I had to order the wood I have. (I had to order the orange wood as well) Glad you like the recipes of mine that you have tried. Thanks so much for watching and commenting :)

+Southern Coastal Cooking ™ I hope y'all do make them Joe, and if you do, make sure to try the South Florida style! Man those things are delicious!

+Chef John Politte (It's Only Food) Thanks Chef John, I sure appreciate it!

+Milwaukee Pat Thanks so much Pat! The family had a lot of fun being part of this video, especially my grand daughter :)

+John Thanks John! Your welcome brother :)

Thanks Troy! Smoked mullet has always been a favorite of mine, and I've heard them called Biloxi Bacon for as long as I can remember by locals here. I plan on getting a lot of fishing in brother. I've always loved it but kinda been out of the loop for the past few years but getting back into it hot and heavy or as time will allow lol

+klippelck Thank you, and your very welcome! I love sharing moments like these with my sons and grand children. Makes it all worth while, and makes them appreciate the simple things in life, and become better people for it :)

+Bad Beast Barbecue Thanks Daryl! I sure appreciate it man. Brother, I just can't imagine not living on the coast. Been here all my life other than a short 8 month stint after hurricane Katrina, but I just couldn't wait to get back down here. It's in my blood :)

+Paul Villesca I hope you do, they are delicious, especially the South Florida style

+Kim Mozingo Heck yeah, you know then! Good good eating right there! Thanks Kim :) ps, I didn't know you were from AL! Very cool!

+Smoky Ribs Yes sir! Born and raised!

I can't imagine being anywhere else but here on the coast. Been here all of my life

Is this Greg Waite?

I know what you mean! Good times and good memories :)

Bo Bo BoBo still do. Google Casper bbq

+Tango Joe Kayak fishing is becoming very popular everywhere and is a lot of fun. Thanks Joe, I appreciate you watching brother :)

This smoking technique will work with a number of fish. We recently did some Steel Head and it was fantastic! Thanks for watching!

+TosTinMan EasyCooking Thanks Jim! Smoking fish is a great way to cook them. Hope you give it a try sometime :)

+cin bober It's good stuff Cynthia! If you ever get a chance, give it a try :) Thanks Cynthia!

+gmctr94 Thanks, I appreciate it! I like em fried too when they are real fresh like these were. Sure appreciate the comment :)

+TheSteveFleming Thanks so much for following my videos! I really appreciate it. I hope you get to try some of our cuisine soon :)

+FitAnge S Thanks for watching Angie! It really is a regional thing along our Gulf coast, mainly from Louisiana, to the very southern most part of Florida. Don't feel bad, most people in the US thinks a mullet is a hair style from the 70's lol ;)

+Smoky Ribs lol Rus thats what they're known as here in Australia 😂😂 those def look wonderful

+Wizkus Thanks so much, I really appreciate that :)

+Matthew McLean Thanks Matthew! I sure appreciate you watching :)

Thank you! Hope you give it a try. Your in a area that is abundant with mullet, so let me know what you think. Thanks for subbing!

+This is Whats for Dinner Thanks so much Chad! We all had a lot of fun making this video and of course eating them was the best part ;)

Yeah, that sounds like a completely different method then what I show here. These smoke for around 3 hours to where most of the moisture is cooked out and they are very firm. Absolutely love em!

+matt rc Thanks so much for subscribing! I really appreciate it, and glad you like the videos :)

+gmctr94 Thanks, It's my favorite salt water fish. I get off 16 days during the Christmas break, so hopefully I can get into some then if not sooner

+Juanelo1946 John, I tried my best to get into the speckled trout, but the weather is making them crazy right now. Normally we are having average lows in the 40's and highs in the upper 50's this time of year, but I've been wearing short sleeves for days now. Right when I think it's gonna get cold and stay cold, it warms right back up, and due to that, and the full moon and a few other factors, no one can seem to catch many if any trout in our bayous right now. I think they have went back into the flats until the water temp drops. Got tired of waiting on them, so mullet it was, and it's such a good way to eat fish. The south Florida style is just out of this world! We will go back tomorrow and catch some more of these, and fire that kamado joe up again lol! I've never smoked a fresh water fish, so I really don't know the outcome but it's worth a shot for sure! Yes, Destiny did a great job for her first time in front of a video camera. Your welcome John and thank you very much :)

+ChangonBBQ I've always loved fishing. Going again this weekend. Conditions are finally getting right for Speckled Trout. Glad I got you thinking about trying it again Matt :)

+5280 Street Dogs Thanks, we had a great time together, and ate good :)

+GADbr Thanks! The seasoning is good stuff. I use it a lot

+Elton's BBQ-pit Thanks for watching Elton! Cast net is a sure fire way to catch them :)

I'm ready to catch some more! Love em! Thanks for watching :)

+Marvin Barnett Lol, thanks Marvin :D

+Ballistic BBQ Wow, I had no idea the Pacific had mullet! Yeah, a cast net is the easiest way, but when they are schooling, they can get so thick that you can snag them with just a line and a treble hook. I actually have caught them on small bream hooks before with just a little piece of a live worm. They will suck it right into their mouth, but they are a little tricky to catch this way. You have to let them go with it for a bit before setting the hook. I hope you give this a try sometime Greg. It's just normal everyday eating around here. I've used alder wood on a number of different fish, and it is just great on everything I've used it on so far. Smoked some yellow fin tuna a year or so ago, and man it was excellent with the alder wood. BTW, we use the small finger mullet for redfish bait ;)

Thanks, I appreciate you watching it! enjoy the smoked mullet. Wish I had some now :)

+doublejbbq Actually it is the first video I've done on mullet. You have probably seen me post several times on FB when I was smoking them. I wasn't even going to do a mullet video because the majority of my viewers either thinks it's a hair style lol, or can't possibly get their hands on them, but I finally said what the heck, I'm gonna do it anyway, because people all over the Gulf and Atlantic can get them.

+Smoky Ribs must be the Facebook post, always thought of them as bait, never again

We use them for bait too. Finger mullet is some of the best Redfish bait there is ;)

+Derek Manning I hope you do Derek. Really good stuff brother :)

+Black Eagle Thanks, I appreciate you watching

+M24A6 Yep, the finger mullet is great bait for redfish and other fish, but the bigger ones are for me to eat ;)

+latridic That's a good thing :) Thanks so much for watching!

Cool, always love hearing form other locals! I love catching them in a cast net and frying them while they are still very fresh, and same thing with smoked. It's a really tasty fish.

+G B She is being brought up right 🙂

+BigMeat Sunday Thanks John! I've never tried it with trout, but I would almost bet that it would turn out great!!!

+No Hippie BBQ & Cooking Thanks Lyle

+Paivi Project Thanks Paivi! I love smoked fish and especially smoked mullet. I love smoked fresh tuna as well. The mustard sauce would surprise you Paivi. It is so good, and not near as spicy as you would think it would be, but there is a little kick there. Flavor marries so well with the fish. Thanks so much for watching Paivi :)

Smoked tuna huh. I am very little familiar with tuna. Pretty much only tuna I know is the "real good stuff " from the can so I just have to trust you on that one. I wasn't thinking the sauce being too spicy. I was weary of that mustard I am not a huge fan of it. That's kind of strong mustard you put in there right ? So if I would ever wanted to make it would honey mustard do too ? Thanks Rus :)

You can't even detect a mustard flavor once it is mixed in with the hot sauce and cooked and smoked on the fish. Not a over powering mustard flavor at all. I use mustard all the time as a binder for rubs when I do ribs or pork butt, and the flavor of the mustard is no where to be found once it is cooked. ;)

Ooooh that's interesting. Mustard for rubs huh. Today I am gong to be a bad girl and make 2 racks of ribs (diet has left the building) so maybe I should try mustard on one to see if you are right but I only have honey mustard because that's the only mustard I can ..muster. Well thanks for the idea. ;)

+ReelGuyTv The mullet down there are really good! We use the finger mullet for bait here, but those bigger guys are going in the smoker. I hope you give them a try. Yeah, this is much different than the way you would smoke other fish, but with that said, you can just smoke them until they are cooked through, and it's still good, but that dryer texture is how it is normally done on mullet. The smoked meat also makes a killer smoked mullet dip

+Mother's BBQ Me too brother! Thanks Chris

+Smokes A Rollin What part of the coast are you coming to Russ? I've never seen this served in our local restaurants, normally the local fish markets and seafood outlets have them, but for the most part, the local people smoke their own. I think the reason restaurants don't serve them is because of the bones. To much of a liability for people that don't know how to pick through bones while eating.

I'll be in Mobile, Alabama on Tuesday. I sure hope they keep me that way. I need some fresh seafood.

+Smokes A Rollin You will be in the right place! They have some excellent restaurants on the causeway on the Mobile Bay. Dan Webster can steer you to some good places as well. Been a long time since I've been to Mobile and I'm sure places have changed, but he would know for sure!

+Smokes A Rollin Russ try Wintzells in Mobile. They have great food! I grew up down there. They are the best!

You are so right Kim! I've eaten there before and it was top notch! If I remember correctly it's on Airport Blvd. Great oysters as well :D

Your welcome Bob

+Smoked Reb BBQ Thanks Brian! You know, I didn't really keep up with the time to well, because I was mainly going by the look and texture of the fish to know when they were ready. I would say it was somewhere around 4 to 5 hours for that top rack, and around 3 to 3 1/2 for those smaller guys on the bottom rack.

+Southern Coastal Cooking ™ We have been trying to catch some speckled trout, but it has been really bad for us this year. Seems like every time I get to go, the weather is not cooperating or some other problem. I'll get into some before long hopefully. Joe, fried is the only way I have ever had them and I love them like that.

+vapedude66 It's my favorite above all, and it was really good shining through on these fish

+SmokeyGoodness Lol Dan, most people instantly think of a certain hair style when they hear mullet ;)

+cmandaro Thanks Charlie! Lol about the hair cut! You can actually coat any fish with this mustard hot sauce combo, then batter and deep fry! Super fine eating! The family really had a lot of fun with this video. Thanks again Charlie!

Good deal! They are getting real plentiful around here now, so we are gonna go get some more soon. Enjoy!

+Tom's Test Kitchen Thanks Tom! It's good stuff. Been eating these all my life. You don't have to have any license to cast for shrimp, but for fish, you just have to have a regular salt water fishing license. Don't have to have a license for crab nets at all, only crab pods

+benhizzle Very :) Thanks for watching

+Skeeter Lewis Lol, thanks :)

+Guy sr Man yeah, they go excellent with cold beer. I bet whiting would be great done this way. Thanks so much for watching Guy

+Broward County Thank you, and thanks for subscribing! I appreciate it

+Smoky Ribs ay no problem bud im glad i found your channel cant wait to watch all the past videos scrolling threw your videos has my mouth watering... tight lines from ft lauderdale

I really don't know John. That was about 4 years ago. It was a brell net from Academy is all I remember

Yes they do now

+Chas Moore I don't know what local fish there is in Indiana, but any firm flesh fish will work, actually you can smoke any fish, but the firmer meat fish does really good. May not taste like smoked mullet, but would still be good
