Good point about the taste. I have only taken mullet well away from habitation and I tend stuff them with a few herbs, specially fennel, garlic & lime. Mullet (and bass) absorb the flavours well, so need to be careful not to overdo it. Thought I might be out on a limb finding their taste similar to but slightly better than bass but HFW's River Cottage Gone Fishing Guernsey fish smoking taste-off makes me think perhaps not (smoked mullet won).
