Fish from Tunisia: Mullet

The illustration shows Mullet (Mugil cephalus), locally called "Bouri", a fish very popular in Tunisian gastronomy, particularly for the production of bottargue (dried mullet eggs), a refined specialty from regions such as Bizerte. Present both at sea and in lagoons (like that of Tunis or Ichkeul), the mullet symbolizes the richness of the country's coastal wetlands. This stamp highlights an accessible and popular local resource, testifying to the diversity of Tunisian marine fauna and the artisanal know-how linked to the processing of fishing products.
