Perfectly Smoked Mullet Recipe: A Southern Delight


  1. Clean the mullets and remove the scales.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the salt, brown sugar, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to make the brine.
  3. Add enough water to the brine to submerge the mullets completely.
  4. Place the mullets in the brine and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.
  5. Take the mullets out of the brine and rinse them with cold water.
  6. Pat the mullets dry with paper towels and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your smoker to 225°F, and soak the wood chips for 30 minutes.
  8. Place the mullets on the smoker, skin side down.
  9. Smoke the mullets for 2-3 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
  10. Baste the mullets with your favorite BBQ sauce during the last 30 minutes of smoking.
  11. Remove the mullets from the smoker and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Keys to Success

  • Don't over-brine the mullets, or they'll become too salty.
  • Check the temperature of the mullets frequently to avoid overcooking.
  • Use a good quality smoker for the best results.

Change it up

  • Add different spices to the brine for a unique flavor.
  • Try using different types of wood chips for different smoke flavors.
  • Serve the mullets with a side of coleslaw or potato salad for a classic Southern meal.
