Description:

The first thing to know about Grey Mullets is that they aren't actually perch, although they do closely resemble those fish. Instead, they belong to the family Mugilidae -- or, as the name implies, the mugilids. The two subfamilies of species they belong to, however, are Percichthyinae and Lizaenia. Most people refer to these two groups collectively as "mullets." The mullet is a small fish that is often found in the ocean. The mullet is one of the most common types of fish in the water. It can grow up to 5 inches in length, but most are less than 3 inches. They live from 2 to 6 years old and are usually found near coral reefs and rocks on the bottom of the ocean floor. Their diets include algae, plankton, and small crustaceans like shrimp or crabs. Grey mullet fish are a great source of calcium and protein, and they're also low in fat and calories.
