What is snow mullet?
Snow mullet is a distinctive variety of fish known for its adaptability to cold waters, particularly thriving in regions where winter chills create ideal aquatic conditions. Celebrated for its delicate, yet rich flavor profile, snow mullet has become a culinary staple during the colder months, especially in areas like Buan where it is harvested fresh from local waters. The fish boasts a tender, flaky texture and is often praised for its nutritional value, being high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids. Whether grilled, smoked, or incorporated into traditional stews, snow mullet lends itself to a diversity of preparations that highlight its subtle taste, making it a beloved centerpiece at the Buan Snow Mullet Festival. This festival not only showcases the finest culinary applications of snow mullet but also pays homage to the cultural and historical significance of this fish to the local fishing communities.
