Whole Florida mullet smoked over oak or pecan until the flesh is golden and the skin crispy. The Old Florida fish that runs on Tampa Bay docks and at fish.
Smoked mullet is the most-Florida fish dish: mullet is the working-class catch from Tampa Bay, abundant and oily, and the smoking tradition runs back to the Tocobaga who built shell mounds on the Hillsborough River. Ted Peters Famous Smoked Fish in St Petersburg has run since 1951; Skipper's Smokehouse in Tampa keeps the tradition with daily-smoked mullet plates and a Sunday Smokehouse Brunch.
