Grey Mullet / بيّاح / Thirutha (Small)

The Grey Mullet or Thirutha as its known in the Southern Coasts is an amazing fish that is generally found in both the fresh water and also in the slightly salty waters in the estuaries. This one is a real killer when it comes to the taste and is very sought after for delicious fish curries and fries. Has small bones, but also has a pretty soft flesh. People have often wondered why this fish is called Grey since its really silver-ish white in color - but as they say why bother about the color when the taste is amazing!
