ABC+ Red Mullet with Lemon & Thyme
ABC+ brings their careful, chef-driven approach to tinned seafood with this elegant preparation of red mullet. A prized fish in Mediterranean cooking, red mullet is known for its delicate, almost shellfish-like flavour and tender flesh. Here it’s gently cooked and preserved in extra virgin olive oil, brightened with a lift of lemon and thyme – a combination that feels both fresh and refined.
Serving suggestion 1: Enjoy simply with warm crusty bread or alongside a crisp salad of fennel and orange to echo its Mediterranean roots. Pair it with a mineral-driven white such as Chablis, or, closer to home, a Clare Valley Riesling to highlight the citrus and herb notes.
 
Serving suggestion 2: Try it flaked through al dente pasta with a drizzle of the infused oil, some capers, and a touch of chilli for a quick and satisfying dish. A glass of Vermentino will bring out the fish’s natural sweetness, while in Australia a Margaret River Sauvignon Blanc–Semillon blend makes a perfect companion.
