1. Wash the mullet and pat dry with kitchen paper.
2. In a shallow glass or earthenware bowl combine the marinade ingredients and leave the fish in this for 15 minutes, turning them occasionally.
3. Meanwhile, heat the grill to high and lightly oil the grill rack.
4. When you place the fish on the grill rack, make sure they are well coated in the marinade and chives as the latter are appealing to the eye as well as the taste buds.
5. Grill the mullet 2 or 3 minutes, turning and basting them and heaping on more chives as they cook, continue to grill for a further 2 or 3 minutes.
6. The skin of the fish will be crisp and the tails slightly charred.
7. serve them hot on warmed plates with quarters of fresh lime
