Grilled grey mullet
As a general rule, when you cook fish you want keep things simple and you don't want to ruin the delicate flavour of the fish with sauces (such as maionese): use just a little bit of lemon, olive oil, garlic and herbs such as thyme and oregano.

Serving suggestions
You can serve with a green vegetable of your choice and/or boiled or roast potatoes.
Variations
Instead of thyme you can use oregano or rosemary.
Instead of grilling you can cook it in the oven at 200 °C for 15-30 minutes depending on the size of the fish. To check it is cooked try to remove a small piece: it should come away easily, if not put back in the oven for another 5 minutes and check again.
