just thought I'd put a little warning on here about eating mullett caught fom marinas.
My dad mentioned to me last night that he has to regularly tell people fishing for mullett in the marina where he works not to eat them. Reason being that the antifouling used on boats these days is very soft and obviously pretty toxic to prevent weed/barnacles etc. growing on the boat. Where do mullett spend a lot of time sucking weed? ... along the bottom of boats (antifouling paint's obviously not that good!).
Mullett not from marina areas probably fine as long as there aren't too many boats nearby.
Don't want to sound too negative but just thought it was worth posting this.
