Maybe a little similar. Mullet swim in schools and are vegetarians. You don't fish for them with bait and a line. They will not strike so you have to use a cast net. They also have gizzards like a chicken. The meat is oily like a mackerel and this is why they make good smokers. But fried mullet was my mothers favorite fish and probably mine too. Catfish is a close second. Mullet also produces some very delicious roe.

I caught many of those with my cast net on the Navy base at Corpus Christi when we lived in SA. Had plenty of takers when I offered to give them to people. My Darling and I mostly crabbed and fished for Croaker there along with some whiting. Caught a few Flounder there as well.
It was about a 170 mile trip so we did not go as often as we liked but we went a lot.
