Understandably there hasn't been any BBQ related posts for some time. With all these restrictions at the moment, I signed onto Nflix (sp, plus I don't want a missile sent my way) thinking I'd be able to view every movie ever made, however when I do a search, invariably I get a thingy saying "Titles related to ..." or something like that.
Anyway, last night I was looking for an Aussie comedy that I saw maybe 30 years ago at a film festival, got the result above, a seriously funny movie but sadly not available. However under the list of available Aussie movies there was one one called, simply, Barbecue. It's a para-doco about BBQ's around the world and some of the interviews are mildly amusing. It got a good score on Rotting Toms:

I'm about to put a pork shoulder on my smoker this morning.?ÿ In 10 hours or so I'll have some lip smacking, finger licking barbecue.?ÿ I'll cook it at about 225 degrees (F) and wrap it in paper and foil after about 6 hours to keep it nice and moist.?ÿ Secret rub and home made sauce and it will bee GOOD.

Not too far away (August-October) the ocean runs of Silver mullet start. Time for smoked mullet with a hint of BBQ sauce on 'em while smoking. When these critters start schooling it is a thing to see. There must be a million at a time in a school. I have been sitting on a surfboard before when these guys are attacked by sharks, tarpon, snook, and anything bigger than the mullet that is hungry. One time there were so many one guy got knocked off his board when they "panic jumped". If you are swimming or surfing it's best to get out of the water when mullet are ruining. Black tip, Thersher, small Hammerhead, and Sand sharks are always following them. All of which are biting anything that moves, including people. They will chase mullet into the shallows and sometimes get stuck. Somebody always will grab it and pull it to deeper water. Black tips are notoriously proficient in their ability to get stuck. Most are only 3-5 feet long and skinny and don't give you much trouble dragging them back to deeper water.

I love mullet, as long as it FRESH or is smoked.?ÿ I've never put barbecue sauce on it but I'll have to try it.?ÿ There is a seafood restaurant in Carrabelle that serves smoked mullet dip.?ÿ MAN is that stuff good.
Now I'm getting hungry.

I'm guessing the entire Nflx thing is the same the world over.?ÿ There's never the movie you want to see, just some related titles. Kind of like how a BBQ thread turned into baitfish and donuts.?ÿ ?????ÿ
BAITFISH?????........ Boy, I’ll have you know them mullets “am the chicken of da sea”. You gotta be a world renowned professional mullets smoker (like me, champ from 1934 to 2031) to achieve the gourmet flavor so incredible peoples from around the world come to see me when I’m a smoking that succulent tasty gift from the Neptune God. ????
SWMBO requested smoked BBQ ribs for Mother's Day tomorrow.?ÿ Does that make it ME day too??ÿ Yes, yes I think it does!
I’ve been married so long everyday is Mother’s Day. ????
@flga
The only real downside to mullets is that is causes some of the rednecks along the Florida coast to consume large quantities of alcohol and have mullet tossing contests.
@flga
We have mullet down this way, and it is indeed a baitfish (very good, very oily) although it is available in the fish shops, smoked, for human consumption. Ours grow to no more that a foot long, so I checked online and it seems that yours are different and grow much bigger, and are far more attractive.
I don't see a mullet, only an attractive young woman. Must be a problem with the image.
That's because it's a red drum, or as the gourmet chefs call it, redfish. Us crackers consider it a trash fish not worth catching. Reds do eat mullet, but prefer crabs, shrimp, and oysters.?ÿ

It is, however, being held by a "snapper". ?????ÿ
@flga
Ok, down this way "mullet" refers to a 1. fish, 2. haircut, or 3. particularly unattractive woman. So, in summary, despite the caption and the article (I read it all) referring to mullet fishing in Florida, you're saying there's no mullets in that picture.
FWIW, back in the day, I found that TV documentary, Miami Vice, far less confusing, and from memory mullet-free in cases 1. and 3.
Your pic or my video? The big fish on the video is a Tarpon skyrocketing after mullet (the small fish around the Tarpon).
In your pic the woman (who looks like the Duchess of Windsor) is holding what is called a red drum in the US. At restaurants it’s called Blackened Redfish. I would have rather caught the “snapper” (a hot lookin’ chick) than the fish she’s holding. I’m old but not dead yet. ????
