40 years living on the Gulf Coast and I have never eaten or known anyone to eat Mullet. Very impressive, thank for the education.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Yes! It's a must try for sure

[@hnd2893]

Try them smoked. 30 plus years ago, there was a place on Dauphin Isle Pkwy in Mobile, a little plywood shack that sold them smoked. Or smoke some yourself. Before I ever ate any, we always used mullet for crab bait, most folks called them bottom feeders, and consuming mullet was almost taboo. The same goes for Croakers until you try one, sweet meat, good eating fried.

[@DavisRo]

@@hnd2893 yes people don’t realize croakers are the same species of fish as drum and sea trout, actually quite tasty in my opinion

[@mcrump7421]

You dont know any Mexicans?

[@ericolsen9799]

@@mcrump7421 I am Mexican, but I eat Tripas and Munedo.

[@CYAthere61]

I have a disabling injury also, that people wouldn't know about; unless you tell them. Thank you for your service! Also, thank you for perseverance! Respect.

[@mmcleod111]

Mullet are awesome. When fried or smoked fresh, they are one of the best tasting fish there is. One of my favorites

[@CYAthere61]

May God continue to Bless you and yours, Stephen.

[@davidnave4349]

Thank you my brother . God bless you and your family. Thank you for your service. Hoorah !

[@justinM88]

These videos keep getting better thank you for all u do and hats 🧢 off to ur service to this country.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you! I enjoy what I do, and it was an Honor

[@maxpinson5002]

I use plain yellow mustard instead of egg to moisten my fish before rolling in the coating mixture. This is Texas, so fried fish get yellow corn meal. I add not quite as much yellow corn masa and the old bay, black pepper, garlic and onion powder, etc. It's hard to beat a good plate of fried fish and taters Thanks for the video

[@flowerfarmerscott]

Dang, I'm in Texas, too, but I never heard of dipping fish in mustard before breading. Ima try that soon!

[@gcrauwels941]

Feeding your Mom some fresh seafood reminded me when I was thirteen and brought home some spiny lobster that I caught at the inlet to my Dad's amazement. We ate large and he was pleased.

[@greyhawk8187]

Momma doing the happy dance! I love it!

[@brianturck274]

10:34 dolphin getting air.. ..

[@BamaSaltwater]

It was so cool seeing that while reviewing the footage!

[@jeffyarbrough1274]

Thank you for your service Stephen and all your injuries. Much love

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you for the support!

[@eddiewalker7212]

Great video! Informative. Entertaining. I really enjoy you guys.

[@jimjordan5630]

I grew up eating fried mullet. Other than pond or creek bream or cats mullet was all the fish we ate (and shrimp & oysters). I was grown before i had smoked mullet and get in love with it! I was grown when i also had the filets and backbones as we had always just cut they mullet in half. And we always are the fins! That was the first thing we ate on the fish! My little girls call them "the crunchies". 😂. Enjoyed the video. And subscribed! Thank you for that video and thank you for your service! This Country and it's people owe you more than we could ever pay!

[@LevPicaresco]

The dry and salted mullet roe sack is used very much in Italian cooking. Grated on pasta, for example. It's actually very good. Love your channel. Best.

[@moolieboy]

I watched that video too.

[@ericsandoval5392]

I watch Deer 🦌 meat for dinner and Bluegabe I really like your channel

[@edwardanthony195]

My wife's favorite fish! And I love the roe! I use Old bay as well but every now and then, I will get out the Zatarans! I do Crokers the same way. Good video, 👍👍👍

[@BamaSaltwater]

Hard to go wrong with any of those seasonings ! Thanks

[@monstermashed6266]

@1:32 they don't live very long.. specially in a dry bucket

[@BamaSaltwater]

I agree ! LOL they kinda need water ha

[@DH-un9el]

I love your videos! My kids and I live in Tampa and are always out fishing somewhere! Not many Moms that take our kids out! Thank you for your service and keep the awesome videos coming!

[@SmokeEater509]

I use cast netted mullet all the time as cut bait for sharks, reds, blues, trout and have eaten it a few times as well in local spots but never had the know-how to clean/cook it myself. I’m definitely giving it a try now.

[@BamaSaltwater]

Definitely worth it for sure! All depending on if they come from a sandy bottom or mud bottom

[@mikeyb3880]

I'm gonna have to try it. There is an abundance of mullet everywhere. I know George Washington used to eat mullet all the time.

[@tomnorman2668]

Fantastic video as usual Capt.!!!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you much!! It's a joy

[@Jbh0369]

Really enjoy your content. I'm across the bay in Theodore and am pretty new to the area after retiring from the Marine Corps. You ever need a 1st mate for a run, let me know!

[@ocularpressure4558]

Hello there from your friends in San Diego California

[@landonbyars5743]

I tried it today it was really good

[@jcook8191]

Fried and smoked mullet are great

[@kimbersal1]

I really get lonely sometimes watching you. I really miss Santa Cruz. Wausau, Wisconsin just is not the same

[@james4edj]

Looks delicious!

[@renatobarbosa5985]

Awesome cooking. The respect for the fish flavor using the bones and skin. Amazing, Bama. More!

[@cyab2001]

hey i live in florida and i catch mullet on line and hook all the time. secret is use oat meal. mix 1 quaker oats container with 1 small garlic powder container and 3/4 cup flour. add water until you get soft balls you can form with your hands. ( only make this mixture once your ready to fish) toss about 2 or 3 balls at a time and mixture make about 7 or 8 balls. next tie a Siddiqui line with 6 hooks. take any kind of white bass worm and cut it quarter inch and place on the tip of your hook. saltwater only !

[@cyab2001]

size 4 saltwater hooks

[@peterphelps7969]

At 10:37 you had dolphins playing in the background...Cool!

[@williamfindspeople4341]

Great video, very interesting and informative brother.

[@karterhuffman8201]

Great video. Simple but awesome as always👍🏾👍🏾

[@A5JDZK]

Another good change of pace. Thanks again for the vids. Always good to watch.

[@MrJphilliber]

Cholula FTW!!!!!

[@jtchapman75]

Gotta give it a go with a rod and reel. Chum with a little oatmeal, and use a long shank #6 or #8 hook and a split-shot under a small bobber. Thin slices of a white bass worm for bait. Light tackle is perfect. Ultralight tackle will wear you out if you get on a hot bite. A 2 pound mullet thinks he's a 5 pound redfish for the first 30 seconds of the fight!

[@sharronjester3052]

Love the Channel ,you should do a smoked mullet catch ,clean and cook. Keep up your amazing work

[@hanmac3348]

Love the clean and cooks! Always makes my mouth water lol, great vid man!

[@muradelmgbar2254]

Love your channel, watch all you video. keep up the good work!

[@billycoleman1128]

Looked like I saw Pelican Point in there. Thanks for the video and thanks for your military service.

Best or the best fishing video, was really good, thank’s.

[@user-ux1pp1pr8c]

Merry Christmas sir Love the videos

[@CoolMr.E]

At the start of the fairhope pier, if you net at the sea wall you can catch a bunch of shrimp.

[@bluegrassbassing3790]

The coolest videos I always learn something

[@johnnycopus211]

Always look forward to your next video

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you, I always look forward to putting out new content

[@leechase916]

I saw a dolphin jumping in the background !! So cool !

[@tonybeard5147]

Love some fried mullet! Keep up the great videos and content. You are one of my favorite fishing channels!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Me too, and thank you!

[@danieldickerson7674]

I love the Fair hope pier, great area, not too busy. Great vid!

[@BamaSaltwater]

I love it, it's the very first place I have ever saltwater fished! Super laid back and relaxing

[@riverratfishing]

Never had mullet before, but when we go to Ocracoke island NC, we catch huge mullet in small creek like areas that go under route 12, but we just use them for bait. As good as those look, l can't wait for vacation. Great video as always. Thanks for your service.

[@kennethcaine3402]

Great video, fresh mullet are hard to beat when they are fried like you did they looked delicious. I love roe especially the yellow, I think you would like it too, they need to be fried right but some like it and some don't.

[@2ubtrue]

Fried mullet is the absolute best eatn' fish in the South. My dad learned me to throw a net when I was old enough to handle the weight. Those were Blessed times. BTW... did you see that porpoise jump behind you? (about 10:32 ish)? Thx man, for another great post! TY!

[@BamaSaltwater]

Awesome , I agree. Thanks for sharing. and yes, I saw it while reviewing the footage, it was pretty cool!

[@cartersboxerandbulldogbabies]

Man I can’t wait to get down there and catch and eat!

[@reelhookcast5551]

Yes sirrrr man love your videos brother keep it up

[@matthewlamb7928]

Funny I was just on vacation in the outer banks. There were some giant mullet in the sound jumping every morning..went out many times with my rod and no mullet lol. Darn mullets!

[@cartersboxerandbulldogbabies]

Love this video! Great idea! Everyone will be doing cast net videos now 😂😂😂😅

[@BamaSaltwater]

Haha! Thanks!

[@justinM88]

Great video. Had mullet for first times at joes seafood In Pensacola.

[@user-kr4kr8jk1f]

Us mexican love mullet when i was little my dad would always take me to catch sum big mullet and wed take alot back home and fry em up and the rest for bait.

[@joeforestandi478]

Cool video man. I'm going try that. I'm just south of Tampa Bay. Sometimes our mullet are super spooky and tough to cast net. Other times they come right next to the boat and it's easy.

[@Footballclips7182]

Love the videos

[@AlexMartinez-of2rg]

At last I thought I was the only one that ate the fish tail when fried 😂

[@terryogletree2128]

I don't let anyone else get to the tails

[@yoavbelmanphoto-video-edit9195]

in Israel fishing for mullets with hook and line is quite popular, so is eating mullet.

[@claylyons8160]

Old school...that's some good stuff!

Thank ya much

Thank you, it was an Honor

[@masonm2731]

I live in fairhope and fish at the pier all them time great video

[@BamaSaltwater]

Awesome, I love it there

[@DefinitelyNotSpam]

Do you clean your reels after each trip? If so, how? Do you use anything in specific? A video showing off your commonly used gear (rods, reels, tackle, etc.) would be interesting.

[@BamaSaltwater]

I usually will lightly spray them off with the hose. After every few trips, I'll take some Boeshield T-9 lubricant and drop it on the reel handle and roller.

[@isaacdelossantos5458]

Pretty informative…. I have never heard of eating mullet. Now I’m gonna have to try it

[@BamaSaltwater]

Yes! You gotta try it sometime. Well worth it

[@weekender38]

I caught tons of them, but never eat one. I won't be able to say that much longer. LOOKED GREAT!

[@gavinliebenberg1276]

Cool vid never tried mullet 👍🏻Will now

[@bengriffin9459]

You have my mouth watering for some mullet

[@leecampbell5736]

Good lookin catch man. I could almost taste em...

[@eddiewallace5272]

Dang good video, absolutely love the information and instructions on all your videos. Can you do a cast net video on how to load and throw the net? ✅💥✌️

[@BamaSaltwater]

[@amandalenderman9802]

[@popeconinc]

you don't know mullet unless you clean and cook the gizzard, that's the best part

[@ryanjustice24]

i’m from fairhope lol awesome place to go fishing

[@asoughi]

Your videos are awesome and its sad seeing you restricted with the injury to your hand. You should really work on strengthening it to haul in those big fish by the offshore rigs!! Keep up the videos and lets see you recover 100%

[@850fishslayer]

Think those r gizzard shad that come up in bay from river the small ones at the beginning of vid Those fried mullet look amazing

[@williammathews6603]

[@BamaSaltwater]

Thank you, you too!

[@elijahbl5745]

I've caught about a 2 foot mullet on a worm while fishing for bream , in freshwater

[@ronaldellison1847]

Never had cooked mullet dad always smoked mullet. But it was good. Have not had in years.

[@BamaSaltwater]

If , and the key is if, you can get them ultra fresh from sandy bottom bodies of water. They are delicious!!!!

[@hubertwalters6345]

That's the way to fry mullet, fillet and backbone. But I like the roe as well. You made me hungry and home sick for alabama. Texas is nice but not home.

[@presidentsniper4462]

Good length rope on that net

[@grahamallen7228]

Very tasty!!

[@marram625]

Perfect 👌

[@Ray56z]

Top 5 favorite fish! Good video bud.

[@matthewdean7121]

If I'm coming down in November, what's in season as far as being able to keep? And where's a good spot to rent gear from?

[@pauljohnston9446]

I always make hush puppies when I fry fish

[@patrickcook1566]

Can you catch Mullet in the Spring in Gulf Shores? I’m usually there in September but taking a late April surf fishing trip this year.

[@jasoncook7836]

Nice

[@jasonwhitman94]

Mullet gizzards are awesome

[@BamaSaltwater]

I'll have to try them next time!!!
