Mullus barbatus ponticus — a Delicate Delight from the Depths of the Indian Ocean
While Mullus barbatus ponticus (Red Mullet) is traditionally associated with the Black and Mediterranean Seas, it is also harvested in the Indian Ocean, particularly in regions with warm, oxygen-rich waters and sandy or muddy seabeds. These ideal natural conditions help produce fish with clean, delicate flavor and tender texture.
The Indian Ocean is known for its high biological productivity and, in many areas, low industrial impact — ensuring premium-quality fish with excellent taste and purity.
