Red Mullet and Indian Goatfish Difference
Red mullet is often confused with Indian goatfish (Parupeneus indicus). The red mullets or surmullets are two species of goatfish, Mullus barbatus and Mullus surmuletus, found in the Mediterranean Sea, the eastern North Atlantic Ocean and the Black Sea. Both are Mediterranean favourite delicacies, and in ancient times they were “one of the most popular and respected fishes.”

Red mullet has a distinctive set of 4-5 wide, dark brown bands on the body. For a clear view check the image with the close up of 2 mullets. Red mullet have contrasting blue and yellow lines on the head and snout, pink chin barbels with yellow tips, and blue spots in lines along the body. Red mullet is expensive because it tastes good and is easy to clean & bone.
