The thinlip mullet (Chelon ramada) is a species of fish in the family Mugilidae.
The head is short and flattened and the mouth is broad with a narrow upper lip and no tubercles.
[citation needed] The thinlip mullet is found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean from Cape Verde and Senegal north to the Baltic Sea.
Since Thinlip mullet can be found in polluted waters too, taste and quality of the meat vary.
It is the best barbecued with some olive oil and lemon juice and as part of mixed fish stew with boiled potatoes and/or polenta.
