Description
This stamp highlights the Red Mullet, one of the most emblematic and tastiest fish of the Tunisian coasts. Hedi Choul's illustration highlights its characteristic sensory barbels and its ocher and glowing hues. Very popular in local gastronomy, red mullet symbolizes the richness of the rocky bottoms of the Mediterranean. This program celebrates the quality of seafood products in Tunisia and the importance of artisanal fishing which has supplied coastal markets for centuries.
