White Mullet

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.
Information from reliable sources
assures us that the ancient Romans
were very fond of mullet; that they
took the trouble to record the prices
paid for this table delicacy-actually
they seemed to want their posterity
to realize how great was their pros
perity. One purchaser paid as much
as $3.50 for one mullet; weight of the
fish not mentioned. Some entries
reveal that $50 a pound for fish was
not unusual, and in some instances,
where mullet was greatly desired for
special occasions as much as $240
1920 or $1,000 was paid!
This family background would
make our common mullet feel bet
ter If it could know such human
facts, because today mullet brings
low figure in any market, for the
tribe is SO numerous and so widely
distributed that they are at times
a glut on the market.
