You need to have the red mullet filleted. Ask your fishmonger to get the fillets for you. Their tools are bound to be better.
To make homemade chips, get a large potato, peel and slice it very finely - use a mandolin. cook them in plenty of very hot oil until light brown - sunflower oil is fine for this as its smoke point is higher than olive oil - to get them really crunchy, and drain. Season with salt.
