I wonder if that is the same Mullet we have.... same family perhaps.... down here.... we usually only smoke it...
I was sailing a few years ago down in the BVI (British Virgin Isles) and we anchored in this little cove, where there was only a small restaurant and beach. We arrived about 2 o'clock so my nephew could enjoy the sand and we could hang out and watch and relax. My Brother in law and I go up to the restaurant and find out that they will be having lobster for the main specialty that night and we had to reserve them ahead of time. Nothing was under 2 lbs., but we both picked a 4 pounder, just because...
So a little later as we were walking on the dock back to out zodiac there are the lobsters in a cage tied off. They split their tails lengthwise and then put them in the cage....

Man, we tied one on that night too.... lots of music, drink, atmosphere, food, and complete privacy. I swam back to the boat at the end of the night just to clear my head...
