Information about Diamond Scale Mullet (Liza vaigiensis):
|
Diamond Scale Mullet are also known
as diamond scale mullet; diamond scaled mullet; diamond-scale mullet;
diamond-scaled mullet; large scale mullet; largescale mullet; large-scaled
mullet; mullet
Diamond scale mullet are one of the largest mullet and can grow up to 5.5 kg.
They grows to 55 cm in length.
They are more prolific in the northern waters of Australia.
They can be identified easily by their distinct diamond shaped scales that have a black
edge. They have a broader head and larger scales than other Australian mullet.
The Diamond-scale Mullet is silvery-grey with black scale margins. It has a
truncate caudal fin. Juveniles have black pectoral fins.
It occurs throughout the
tropical Indo-West and Central Pacific. In Australia it is known
from the central coast of Western Australia, around the tropical
north and south to northern New South Wales.
They are more prolific in the northern waters
of Australia.
Diamond-scale Mullet is a
schooling fish and can be found in lagoons, shallow sandy areas,
mangroves and rivers.
Fishing for Diamond Scale
Mullet:
Mullet are not a common catch for recreational fisherman, although in brackish to
freshwater mullet will accept baits of dough or earthworms, on small hooks under a float.
Small "poddy" mullet are a good live bait for such fish as flathead and can be
caught in a narrow bottle or similar container filled with bread.
Cooking
Mullet:
Commonly 500g-1.5kg and
30-45cm, though Sea Mullet can grow to 8kg and Goldspot rarely
grows larger than 30cm and 1kg. Mullet are a low priced
fish, however, Diamond Scale Mullet are generally more
expensive than Sea Mullet.
To Buy
Usually sold as skinned fillets. In whole fish look for lustrous
skin, firm flesh, and a pleasant, fresh sea smell. In fillets,
look for pinkish-grey, firm, lustrous, moist flesh without any
brown markings or oozing water and with a pleasant fresh sea
smell.
To Store
Make sure whole fish is scaled, gilled, gutted and cleaned
thoroughly (remove stomach lining and any fat along the stomach
wall). Wrap whole fish, or fillets in plastic wrap or place in
an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze
for up to 3 months below -18șC.
To Cook
No other food overcooks as easily as seafood. Overcooking
seafood will spoil its flavour and texture, and decrease the
moisture content of the flesh.
The lining of the
abdominal cavity should be removed completely and the fat along
the abdominal wall should also be scraped away. Average
yield is 45%. Has a strong flavour, oily, moist, soft to
medium-textured flesh with few bones, which are easily removed.
Remove the skin, and fatty tissue underneath, for a milder
flavour.
Cooking Methods
Bake, grill, barbecue, smoke, pickle. Works well in fish pastes
and pâté.
|
Colour of raw
fillet: |
Pinkish grey, darker after
spawning period. |
|
Texture:
|
Flakes easily.
Medium/firm, always tender. Moist flesh |
|
Fat content:
|
Low to high, Mullets have
a seasonally high oil content. They have a higher oil content
during their migration (April and May), leading up to spawning. |
|
Flavour:
|
Rich, strong fishy flavour.
Distinctive flavour. The flavour of the flesh varies slightly
according to species. A lighter-flavoured fillet can be produced
by deep skinning the mullet and discarding the fatty layer of
tissue immediately under the skin. |

Commercial
Fishing for Mullet:
Sea mullet (Mugil cephalus) is an
important species for commercial fishers in southern Queensland.
The species is a major component of the ocean beach fishery, but
is caught in similar numbers in bays, estuaries and near-shore
coastal waters primarily south of Bundaberg.
Mullet are caught using a variety of nets
and netting methods. The nets and methods used depend on the
fishery. Some of the nets used include mesh nets and seine nets.
The estuarine fishery uses gill and tunnel
nets to target fish for the local fresh fish market throughout
the year. The ocean beach fishery uses seine and haul nets to
target pre-spawning fish from April to August to supply an
international export market for
mullet roe.
